McCreadies Paddock Campsite

The site consists of small tent pitches set in grassy flats and is accessible from the car park by foot only. An open shelter with a bench is available on site. Water can be taken from the stream but must be boiled before drinking.

A composting toilet is provided. The campsite sits within a scenic valley setting, reachable via tracks that descend through the surrounding bush.
