Number One Campground
Last Updated Jan 2014
This is probably the most popular campground in Mount Disappointment State Forest and can get quite busy on long weekends.
It is a very large, open campground and easily accessed, so is very popular with groups, especially 4WDers and trail bike groups.
It is however a very attractive campground set in native bushland, and out of season is reasonably quiet.
Thanks to Peter for the following updates.
Three semi-dispersed large open areas on a broad plateau surrounded by forest.
Shaded by Messmate and Mountain Ash with wattle understory.
Extending well away from the forestry/tourist road some large cement floor slabs remain from the old sawmill.
Rated 3.8/5
