Hi Guys, looking for a good sport within the 150km range for camping with young kids (3&4) any ideas?

Either Gun point or Dundee, there are a few good spots just nothern of the lodge. Both might be a bit hard to get to with all the water around at the moment.

Douglas Hot Springs in the Dry season, is a great place to take young kids camping! Motor bike would be pretty annoying in the camping area but up the track would be ok

west of the wagait beach township is a good spot. Easy to get to and from. Not the best at this time of year though.

Not a real good time of the year to be camping with kids Clarry
Lots of water everywhere and roads/tracks are not really in good condition
Would be nothing worse than getting stuck somewhere with a couple of kids that age
My grandkids have to set their tents up under my carport this time of the year if they want to camp out LOL
I've been seeing crocs in places I wouldn't normally see them locally so choose a location carefully
Gun point road is probably closed or cut up but the beach out there is a great spot for camping with kids and the creek fishes alright
Later in the season would be a better plan
Regards
Shaun

I agree with new fisherman- Douglas hot springs is the go.

Douglas hot springs is in the park down there isn't it?
Cant see you being allowed to rip around on a motor bike in there
It is a great spot but is closed this time of the year
Are you looking to go camping now or later in the year?
