Nice spots, pay when you arrive!
Not a bad spot for self sufficient campers - just a bit annoyed about the accuracy of the ad. It said potable water (only bore water was available that they don’t recommend drinking) and it said toilets (there was some drops, the main toilet block was so backed up it looked like it had been sitting there blocked for a long time). There was lotssssss of big mozzies so bring your sprays. Other than that, nice grassy flat spots and close to Forrest Beach and Ingham. Also we paid $30 a night for this booking, when we arrived there was a box where you could pay $15 a night so I wish I had known that haha. Would’ve done that instead.

Beautiful spot
Beautiful spot to pull up for a few nights. Cattle greeted us on our way in and watch us set up, saw the croc eyes at night and Jacob was very friendly, taught our 5yo how to throw a boomerang :)
