Luggate Cricket Club Camping Ground
We liked the price and hot shower so much we stayed here twice during our camper van trip.
Open powered sites are along main road but no street noise at night. Other powered sites are taken by long-term campers. Water at many sites. 15+ open sites overall around the cricket field. A fine place to charge your batteries. Do the Rob Roy glacier hike.
