Good spot for crabbing
Cleaned up on mud crabs here but fish not on the bite. Like other reviewers the camp spots were very close together and more campers than the advertised 20. You can definitely see and hear others around you. The staff were friendly upon arrival and yes the road in is a goats track but that’s part of the trip. I appreciated the fact they had a food truck there and a bar selling ice, beer and bait. I honestly had the BEST brisket there ever. They know their smoked meat. They have events like blues festival and flathead comp. I’d really like to go back outside of the events because I could imagine how busy and crammed in it would be. Facilities are basic and told that we could not fill up a 20 litre bucket of water, only about 2 litres would be acceptable. Had to go to the boat ramp in Buxton to get water to refill.

Nice to have amenities and bar, no one was overly loud. Was expecting abit more space between campers but being there over new years it is expected to be busy, having flushable toilets was a great treat but i thought the showers would’ve been free since it was a bit more of an expensive site per night. Regardless i really enjoyed the trip and enjoyed being by the scenery aswell.

Great spot, flat land with a nice view. Great place to bring friends & family for a weekend. Dog friendly & good for fishing. There’s a bar & they put on a decent feed. We had a great time with 5 friends even with rain. Our only complaint is other campers who left their rubbish & campsite a mess when leaving! Thanks for having us😊
