Norm,

I just spent 2 days at Brooms Head and while there I checked out both Lake Arragan & Redcliffe.

My personal preference is Lake Arragan, but Redcliffe was not bad either.

The turn off to both these spots ison the left side of the road about 4k before the village of Brooms Head.

When you turn in off the Brooms Head Rd, you go either straight ahead to Lake Arragan or right to Redcliffe. If you miss the turn off to Redcliffe and end up at Lake Arragan there is a road that takes you to Redcliffe anyway.

For more info, contact Mark G who lives nearby and I am sure will be happy to assist.

Cheers,

Cruiser

Hi Norm,
As both Cruiser & Barbara have mention these are great spots.
I haven't camped at either spot, but they are very popular.
Mark G and his family have just spent the long weekend there and would be able to tell you what to expect at Red Cliff/Lake Arragan
Another beautiful spot would be Woody Heady, on the Iluka Rd just north of Maclean.
We spend a week there at the start of December each year out of school holidays and it's paradise. Coin operated hot showers and a very clean park.

By the way Barbara, Mark is trying to organize a EO north coast/SE Queenland members get together. He has listed under NSW - Northern NSW / S.E QLD get together- family day out
Just thought I'd mention it.

Norm, where ever you choose, I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Hi Norm,
We camp at Brooms Head caravan park on the un powered sites
which are right on the beach front and they now provide bins to have a camp fire except on school holidays, if you see a spare one, grab it and put it on your site. I think you will find it is now a bit cheaper to stay in the park than at Red Cliff and Lake Arragan.
Great spot and if you have a tinny the fishing is good at Sandown.
