Charlie Moreland Campground
Last Updated Jan 2014 | Originally suggested by Boogie
A pleasant campground with a nice little (kid friendly) swimming hole.
The campsites are in open forest with good grass coverage, suitable for tents. Camper trailers and caravans would be OK too,
There is tank water (boil before drinking), fireplaces (bring your own firewood) and some great walking tracks.
