Great spot clean toilets there are 3 green power sites the only let down is they have locked the field where parking is allowed for freedom camping and have cut off access to 2 of the power boxes which is a shame if this was open and accessible then my rating would have been higher

Great place, toilets are clean and there’s a sink for washing dishes. Car park is lit up which we found very bright and a bit disturbing but made us feel safe when walking to the toilet and back. Heaps of space for lots of campers

Great free camping spot
Stayed here on a Saturday night late November 2020, arrived at around 10.45PM and only two other campers so lots of parking space. ( Park diagonally facing tpwards rugby pitch) also area for tents.
Toilets nice and clean and it has and outdoor tap / sink for washing dishes, lots of green areas to set up picnics, tents etc. Lots of bins provided and parking spaces for campers and rugby and squash club. Remember to donate your $5 as this is funded by donations and locals.
Forsquare is a 10 minute walk away and is open till 8pm, also in the village several nights of the week is a Thai food van which has great food. There is also a pool located locally that you can pay to use.
Enjoy

Many thanks to the county for this great place. Water and dumping facilities are available, also a big area for tents. Very silent during the night, we felt safe because of a light all night long (not disturbing us to sleep). Of course we gave a donation of $5.

Great last campground of the trip as there was potable water and a dump site right there. Large, clean bathrooms and an outside sink for washing dishes. It was pretty packed my night so it was evident where to park, but it’s pretty much up against the side of the parking lot with the stands for the rugby pitch behind you. A few tents set up on the opposite end of the campers. Some other reviews talk about power hook-ups, they might be referencing running an electric cord to the electrical boxes at the base of the light poles, but I wouldn’t be comfortable doing that. $5 donation asked for and was a perfect place to dump all my New Zealand coins at the end of the trip.

LOST SHOES!
Stayed here on Saturday night and lost a pair of green/brown trail running shoes. If you find them please call me. 0225447424
The site is nice enough, very clean toilets.
I got confirmation from the council that the water from the washing up sink tap is drinking water but the others aren’t.
