There is another FREE camp in the township of Jerrys Plains. We have stayed at this spot as well. It is quite popular so can get fairly busy. Check out more information here!

Is this camp suitable for a 2WD? Ground looks a bit sandy in parts.
Also is there fishing here?

  Yes suitable for 2WD, as long as you stay in the large grassy paddock. Soft down near the water. Unsure about fishing though, we just had a quick overnight stop.
