Taponga Campground
Last Updated Dec 2014 | Originally suggested by Peter
A reasonably large, level cleared circuit, surrounded by Peppermint forest with tea-tree understory above the rushing Taponga River.
Short grass, well shaded. A pleasant camp, not as popular as other Lower Big River sites, probably as it is not on the Big River.
Rated 4.3/5
