Great spot. Remember to take a blow-up ring for swimming and lazing in the river with a stubby. Drop toilets and rubbish bins and lots of cockatoos, and great bush walks.

Great spots by the river with clean long drop toilets. We had the whole camp site to ourselves as it rained the entire time so just check yourself for leeches especially if you go on the nice walking track that is close by. 2 of the camp sites (Currawong and Coachwood) that are near to Frying Pan were closed due to flood damage but were busy getting fixed when we were leaving.
