FEES & BOOKINGS
All State forests are free to camp in, so if you are staying at this site we encourage you to help keep it clean, and please visit and support the nearest town.

Camping sites cannot be pre-booked or reserved.

CAMPFIRES AND FIREWOOD
In most areas, firewood is not provided, so you are advised to bring your own, or a gas BBQ. Be aware of fire regulations, especially Total Fire Bans and promptly report all bushfires to the emergency services by dialling triple zero (000).
Solid Fuel Fire Bans apply in many State forests over summer, banning campfires and barbecues using wood, charcoal or other solid fuel. Campers are asked to bring gas appliances and prepare for days when total fire bans are declared. When planning your trip, look at the current closures and notices, http://www.forestrycorporation.com.au/visiting/closures or contact the local Forestry Corporation office http://www.forestrycorporation.com.au/about/contact-us for more information.
