Glendora - Hill End Historic Site Campground
Last Updated Jan 2014
Near the historic town of Hill End, this is a well provisioned campground suitable for families and caravans.
There are a variety of sites, some powered and most suitable for caravans. There is also plenty of level grassy areas suitable for pitching a tent and a good amount of shade from the large eucalypt trees.
There are hot water showers, excellent amenities, fire rings, sheltered barbecue areas and flushing toilets.
Although this campground is right near town, it has a very "bush" feel to it, with plenty of native vegetation. The gallahs provide a true Australian soundtrack and the kangaroos like to come in to graze on the well kept grass.
There is also a section reserved for group camping which is a good idea, considering how popular this campground is in school holidays.
