Probably my favourite camping ground around. The creek is great and it is a really nice spot; the scenery is excellent

Large open space with toilets, some day use table and seats and rubbish bins. Very quiet when non school holiday or long weekend. Dogs ok. Bring your own firewood.

Had a lovely camp free. Beautiful clear stream. Grass a bit long. 2 snakes seen. Clean drop toilets. Garbage bins supplied. Only issue for me was getting into water due to rocky river bed. Only fell once & wore river shoes

I have been camping here for 36 years and have just taken my kids there for the first time. It is a gorgeous camp-site on the Manning River. 20 minutes into Barrington shops for supplies. Treat yourself if you're ever in the Barrington Glouster area.
