I would NOT call this a camping spot - maybe just a picnic area. Barely space to set up even 1 camp if really necessary. Both toilets (male and female) were supposed to be flushing with water - but both were so clogged they were overflowing with toilet paper and human waste. We had a look around for 5 minutes and left immediately. We wasted about 2-3 hours driving out to look at this spot and having to go back and find somewhere else to stay.

It is a perfect spot close to Hobart (1 hour drive) and amazing if you are going to do some hiking in Hartz Mountain. Free camping site, recommend for tent but you can park your campervan or RV and stay at the parking. Parking with around 6 positions available and 6 spots for a comfortable camping (without disturbing the others). No booking. Flush toilet and 1 shelter with a table to save in a raining days Probably pet friendly, I couldn't find any information at the camping. I loved!
