Good quality bore water is provided in both camping areas and it is generally possible to connect your van or camper trailer to a tap. It is a good idea to bring a tap ‘splitter’ so that a tap always remains available to others when you have connected.

Toilets and hot showers are available in both camp areas.

A dump point is available.

Coin operated washing machines are available in the powered camping area.

Being situated on high ground, the powered area is open all year.

The unpowered area is closed during the wet season due to potential flooding.
