Very nice campsite among the pine plantations. Most areas around the site are harvested and replanted now (Feb 2025). New frisbee course with 2 levels (beginner & advanced). NOT a lot of 'permanents' anymore like it was just after the main covid waves during a previous visit. Can be very busy at peak times but 2 weeks after summer holidays good and plenty of spots available. 4G Telstra only one bar at the highest point, down below none. But spots down below with good open view to the south for Starlink (mini).

Super spacious, nice and quiet, so much grassy space, sites on the hill or down at the water, we only stopped for the night and it was beautiful.

Expansive with many toilets and bins placed throughout, but there is NO Telstra reception here. At the entrance, yes, but once you drive into the campsite, it appears you have one bar of 4G, but you don’t. I drove around extensively trying too. I’d just come from not having reception in a state forest and pulled up here late, expecting it to be good, as it lists Telstra and Optus 4G. I am also a telecommunications engineer so I’m familiar with what is mobile reception and what is not. I had to go to Sunny Corner, which does have one bar of 4G Telstra reception that actually works. It must be right on the edge here. Maybe Optus works, but not my new iPhone on Telstra.

I've been here multiple times with a group and will be returning. The pit toilets are cleaned by the perminent residents there, just rember to bring toilet paper. The road in is dirt and very pot hole heavy, but I get my MX-5 out there no problem. Just be aware, the grass can be very slushy in places so check before you drive out onto it, I definitly didn't nearly get stuck. I will be back as it's a great spot for small to large groups.
