Skinners Flat Reservoir Park Campground

Last Updated Oct 2015 by smokeydk | Originally suggested by Peter

Four quiet picnic areas dispersed along the shore of the old reservoir with thin shade from Yellow Gum and Red Box over gravel.

Most sites slope a little.

Backed by a large flora reserve - ironbark forest wildflowers in spring.

There is a "newish" toilet by the boat ramp and a firepit and shelter.

Depending on recent rain, reservoir may not be full. May be hot and dusty
