Been going here for years with my family. We all love it there. Such a nice walk to the top. It can get very busy in here on weekends, public holidays & school holidays. It’s a great place for the kids. Last time we were there in June/July and we had issues with Mice.

Beautiful area for camping and great for kids. There is a big fenced off area in the centre of the camp area which is fenced off and no camping, which is great for the kids to play in. Beautiful walk to the top of Mount Franklin. This area can get very busy.
