Riverside camping at the Manning River.
A free campsite on the Manning River with some swimming holes, suitable for caravans and tents. Wood barbecue pits and basic toilet facility are available.
Free camping plus dog friendly! The maximum stay is 14 nights.
The reserve sits alongside Thunderbolts Way near the bridge across the Manning River at Tibbuc. The river is still young in this high part of the Barrington Coast catchment so it has a mountain feel, with a shallow stream and large smooth river pebbles. The steep sides of the valley here add to the 'hidden valley' vibe of Gloryvale Reserve.
The campground surface is mainly gravel/river pebbles, with plenty of shade provided by large trees along the river and towards the roadside.
Being close to the road makes this campground unsuitable for pets or small children unless they are all closely supervised.
