Where should I take the family camping this weekend?

Tell us a camping story. Let us guess? You left the cooking oil and bog roll at home ...

Where should I take the family camping this weekend?

Post by scottmac »

So I'm on a promise to take the mrs, kids and maybe the friggen in laws camping this weekend. All good, looking forward to getting away. Thing is I can't make up my mind where to take them? They won't handle really roughing it, they want to go fishing (land based) and they want to go to a new spot, so no Douglas/Daly, although they love it there. Looking for something similar.

Where should I go?

Places that are close and family friendly are tumbling waters, sand palms, crab claw, leaders and dundee lodge. All have running water and hot showers, to keep the missus happy. For sand palms, you would have to drive to Milne inlet to fish and for tumbling you would have to drive to South port to fish. All others are close to water.
