A large flat camping area in the pine forests (slash pines) near the Watagan Mountains

This campground is very spacious and shady with wide open areas kept free from undergrowth by the large pine trees (these were planted as a trial in the 1920s).

It is a very popular campsite in peak times (Easter especially) and can get a bit noisy at times. In the off-season you will most likely get the place to yourself.

Walking

There are a few options for walks from this campground. The Pines Walking Trail is a short walk along the Dora Creek and passes through some rainforest and an attractive rock pool that has been damned off with a little waterfall.

The Abbotts Falls Walking Trail is a bit more hilly but well worth the effort. Passing through rainforest and large blue gum forests, it is a nice walk on warmer days. Last time I did this walk, the weeds were a bit high however.
