Very nice place but so creepy at night and lots of 4wd drivers making noise at 2-4am but really nice for dinner and tent set ups

The road to get here was easy & once we arrived we had a choice of spots - it was pretty quiet and plenty of space for our set up. Beautiful surrounds, sounds of birds, dogs loved running around and we got a fire going straight away! There were ammenities but we used our own. Under cover picnic area would be great for people without their own shade. Shame there was quite a bit of rubbish on site, tiny bits of broken glass, cans etc we did a lot of picking up after others. So close to Newcastle, would definitely come back and explore more if we’re down this way again!
