We arrived a bit late and, since it was already dark, ended up setting up camp at Site 1 without realising—we had actually booked Site 2. Luckily, the two sites are right next to each other, yet still far enough apart to offer plenty of space and privacy.
We absolutely loved camping here. There weren’t many people around during our stay, so it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. We met Amanda on the first night and Kate the next day—both were super chill, and we really enjoyed their company. The campsite itself is quite and beautiful, filled with the sound of birds singing. We even wandered through the other sites since no one else was around, and felt that Site 4 is probably the best spot—though honestly, all the sites are great.
Nearby: It takes about 10 minutes (or less) to drive to Ellenborough Falls from the campground. We chose to hike instead, which took roughly 35–40 minutes one way—not too bad, especially with very few vehicles on the road. Along the way, we spotted Yellow-tailed black cockatoos—quite large and stunning birds (it was our first time seeing them!). We also visited the Rapids, about a 15-minute drive from there. While it may not be very impressive when the water level is low, the drive through the forest and the surrounding outback scenery make it well worth the trip.
