Bright Cabin and Caravan Park, Camp Crusty, started life in the late 1930s as a camp for loggers working in the local pine plantations. During the 1950s it morphed into a camp that hosted school groups and clubs. More recently it has become a destination for tourists travelling to the Bright area looking for a natural holiday experience. Camp Crusty has a rich history being one of the most historic areas in the Alpine Region.
We have a range of accommodation styles to suit your needs and budget.
The campsite's location is its standout feature, with proximity to town and access to trails and scenic drives. However, the experience is marred by rocky grounds making tent pitching difficult, and an overall dusty environment due to unpaved roads. Facilities are an issue, with many reviews noting their run-down state and maintenance problems. Management receives mixed feedback, with some finding them helpful, while others report unfriendly service and poor handling of requests.
The location itself is amazing. So close to town and surrounded by multiple beautiful walks/hikes and water holes only a short drive away. However the ground is rock hard at this site and literally covered in rocks we couldn’t get our pegs in no matter how many times we tried. Resulting in us not having any working pegs by the end. It would be great for a trailer or a caravan but not tents. We had to leave and find new accomodation so we paid for sights we didn’t end up using.
A short walk or bike ride to town and enough space between each campsite. Only concern is that it is a dirt campsite meaning cars around the campsite means you will need to wash everything afterwards. Otherwise a lovely stay.
Camp Crusty was a disaster—poorly managed, filthy, and nothing like the promises made. Rocky surface, lot of Dust, unfrienDly management. They didn’t even considers change of spot request, despite of lots of empty spots. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
