Information

Campsite in Wellsford State Forest
Situated in dry Red Ironbark forest on gravelly clay by an unexpectedly large, attractive dam.

The picnic facilities (2 benches, 2 BBQs) are contained within a small fenced enclosure just above the dam wall. Informal bush camping sites are available further up around the dam.

Thin shade from Ironbark with a minimal understory. Wildflowers are prolific in spring.

Horesriding is popular.
