All Free Camp Locations
The Pines free Camp – Kosciusko Nation Park.
A good little campsite on Blowering Dam, very busy and noisy on weekends with loud boats, but most people behaved. On a weekday would be a good time to visit to avoid the weekend warriors. We saw wild emu &

A great free camp close to the caves. Running creek, fires, toilets and grass, it was a winner! David caught his first fish of the trip, 2 rainbow trout that we cooked up for dinner. There are wild brumbies that
