Cutters Camp Campground
Last Updated May 2014 | Originally suggested by tojo45
A very large, open campsite in a beautiful natural setting.
This is a great camping spot for families that want kids to experience nature, but also to have some space to run around and be kids.
There are picnic tables (some sheltered), free barbecues and good quality amenities (composting toilets).
The camping area is large and grassy, with no defined sites. Some areas have good shade and others are out in the open more (handy if you need solar to charge the batteries).
Fire places are also dotted around the campground (bring your own wood and check local restrictions). They have fold down barbecue plates so are good for cooking up some snags if the main barbecue area is busy.
Walking
Byrill Creek Walking track is a short (about 500m) kid friendly walk that passes through sub-tropical rainforest, and some giant fig trees as well as open native woodland.
It ends at Byrill Creek with a good little swimming hole.

This campsite is accessable with regular 2wd vehicles.
