Top Questions
 
      Is this site dog friendly all year round or just out of school holidays ?
Are there free sites on the water that are accessible without a 4x4, will a van get there ?
Where the pin is on the map on this app, is that where it’s free to camp? If not where abouts around the lake can you camp for free and where abouts are the 4wd tracks? Just so I have an idea thanks
