If you don't feel like cooking over the open fire at your campsite, there is also a free communal gas barbecue and picnic table near the toilet facilities. From the campground, the Cicada Circuit offers a short walk through the tall eucalypts and dense ferns, hugging the bends of Island Creek. Venture a little further along Blackfish Way to the Island Creek Picnic Area. Here, you can listen to the soothing sounds of the creek while relaxing and feasting with family and friends in the shade of tall manna gums. Spot the many birds and mammals who call the regenerating forest home. Wallabies are known for surprising walkers, while lyrebirds are often scratching around for food in the new growth. Visit nearby Wombelano and Mason Falls for scenic walks and stunning views, spend your days bushwalking, horse riding and cycling through the forest, or simply sit back and enjoy the effortless serenity at camp.
