Reviews

Quiet little spot even though its on the roadside.
Plenty of trees and shade on the reserve and a picnic table.

The freedom camping spots are in the carpark. Unfortunately the typical signage isn't present showing where you park between the arrows.

This concerned me. So I emailed Thames Council and got confirmation that indeed you can park and stay the night there with the same rules as other spots.

I felt more comfortable armed with this email.
