Nanga Mill Campground – Lane Poole Reserve (CG)

Nanga Mill is the largest campground in Lane Poole Reserve with space for 55 large tents, large campervans, camper trailers or caravans. As an open campground with no separate individual camp sites it is ideal for groups camping together: campers may set up camp anywhere between the pines with consideration to other campers and to the environment. Pets are OK on a leash.

GUIDELINES
Campfires are usually permitted, in the provided fire rings only, between April 15 and November 30 but fire restrictions may be imposed at any time and without notice. Bring your own firewood. When fire restrictions are in place campfires must not be lit and any appliance powered by burning solid fuel must not be used.
Campers’ own liquid or gas fuel barbeques, stoves and heaters can be used at any time, unless a total fire ban has been declared (see Department of Fire and Emergency Services).
Campers’ are encouraged to follow the simple principles of Leave No Trace to minimise the environmental impact of their visit.
Very few campgrounds have waste bins – take all waste with you when you leave.
