The Gums Campground
Last Updated Dec 2014
Set among ferns, and eucalypt forest with dense understory, this is a beautiful spot with excellent facilities.
There are 18 individual campsites well separated by the native vegetation and picnic tables with wood barbecue / fireplaces.
5 of the sites are suitable for caravans, the rest are best for car based camping with a tent.
There is also a (free) communal gas barbecue in the central area in case there is a fire ban, or you just don't feel like cooking over the open fire at your campsite. NOTE: Some of the campsites don't have fire pits.
