Wannon Falls Campground
Last Updated Nov 2014 | Originally suggested by Peter
A secluded camping area in a large reserve of dry sclerophyll open forest over short grass on a level, gravelly plateau above the Wannan River.
Camping area is distant from the day area, next to a small cricket ground but open to the through access road.
A circuit road with 6 large parking bays and BBQs surrounds a large shelter with fire places and an oven.
Thin shade from stumpy Manna Gum with a scattered understory of wattles. Can be dry and brown in late summer.
Rosellas, cockatoos, wrens, tree-climbers and honeyeaters are common.
Intended as an overnight stay only, camping is restricted to the area near the barbecues and bush camping is not permitted.
Bring your own firewood as it is not allowed to be collected from the reserve.
