Very popular and noisy lots of kids on bikes water Very.rocky

Great spots by the river with clean long drop toilets. We had the whole camp site to ourselves as it rained the entire time so just check yourself for leeches especially if you go on the nice walking track that is close by. 2 of the camp sites (Currawong and Coachwood) that are near to Frying Pan were closed due to flood damage but were busy getting fixed when we were leaving.

Great spot
