Hello Rhonda
I've just recently been thinking of posting some details, you've now stirred me into action.Poplar Flat is the first of the two campgrounds and the flatter of the two. Across the road from the campsites is a composting
toilet with His. Hers and disabled cubicles and hand basins with tap water laid on, no showers though. These are some of the more pleasant of such
toilets I have experienced. There are taps throughout both camping areas and plenty of fire
places. The fire
places are enclosed and have hinged bbq plates incorporating grills for the billy. When the plates are folded back out of the way it gives a decent sized open fire and there is plenty of room for a
camp oven. The two camping areas are separated by a dry
creek crossing. Manna Gum is the prettier of the two but not quite as flat, although still very acceptable. It has a
toilet block also, a little larger to cope with the extra bods. At the far end of Manna Gum is a walking track which does a circuit through the forest. It is a pleasant easy walk with bellbirds and whip birds about.To the left of
the entrance to the
camp grounds is a turn off which winds up the mountain to a couple of lookouts, worth a look.The road to the camping areas is easy going with only about 5K of dirt. The whole trip can be easily be done in a
sedan car towing a van, so you'll have no trouble in your rig. Cheers, Terry
