A basic bush campground on the Big River in Upper Big River State Forest

A well shaded, but basic campground suitable for 2wd vehicles in dry weather. There is access to the Big River in this.

Thanks to Peter for the following updates.

Pleasant dispersed bush camps on forested creek-side flats by the bubbling Big River. Well shaded by Peppermint and Mountain Ash with a dense understory of Tea-tree, wattle, ferns and some grass. Surrounded by steep forested slopes. Rated 4.2/5

Wrens, tree climbers, kookaburras, flies and wallabies are common.

Most sites are separated by bush although access to the most distant is rutted - check if wet. One of 2 BBQs broken.
