I assume you're talking about the campsites along the Jamieson to
Woods Point Road? Almost all of which are 2WD accessible. One of our first camping experiences in Victoria was in one of those sites about 12 years ago and at
Easter funnily enough. The behaviour of some of the people was similar to that which you have described and I vowed I would never go back to those sites. Actually I have but only for a night or two and only out of season.
Since then all my camping has been rough
bush camping in 4WD only
places - other than a few motorbikes and one 4WD club with 12 vehicles who seemed to think my
camp was a turning circle for them (what is it with clubs!?) I have never been disturbed since (one minor issue with three very rude fishermen on the Murray but they soon learned it's not wise to mess with people you don't know in the bush :).
Rude, ignorant, selfish pigs will always be so; the only thing to do is choose
places they won't go to and if it requires just a little effort they generally won't want to do it.
Sorry your
Easter was ruined. If you have a 4WD and no caravan drop me an e-mail and I'll give you a couple of spots if you promise to keep them quiet :)
