Alligator Creek Campground
Last Updated Jul 2014
Set amongst native bush, and alongside Alligator Creek, this is a beautiful campground suitable for tent based camping.
There are 16 individual campsites here, with picnic tables. There are also cold water showers, and water taps (boil before drinking).
When I was last here it looked a bit difficult for camper trailers, however recent reports (See Scott's comments at the bottom of the page) are that campervans and possibly small motor homes should fit on the sites.
Fires are prohibited, so you will need to bring your fuel stove.
Two walking trails leave from the day use area, the Lookout Walk is a short 1km track along Alligator Creek, the other is a medium difficulty 17km return walk.
The highlight of this campground is swimming in the beautiful Alligator Creek. A short walk from the day use/camping area leads down to the crystal clear water.
