Camping and Fishing

Hi Everyone

Thinking of going camping this weekend with the missus. Anyone know a good, nice place to go camping and fishing. We do not have a 4WD.

Just looking for some where to relax, have a BBQ, few drinks. Take in the secanery and peace and quiet  

Any tips would be most welcome 

 

P.s

Was fishing in hillaries south mole last week. Great spot, plenty of tailor and whiting

That little camping spot is the hamelin bay caravan park. Its in the unpowerd sites and away from everyone . So quiet and nice!

As you enter the park its to your right, up a little hill. The site number is D2

D2

Not sure if D2 is the same spot, there used to be an old caravan up there that the deckies off the fishing boats used to stay in, they called it baked bean tin hill because that's about all they ate and washed it down with alcohol.

Magnificent part of the coast down that way

 Contos is a wicked camp

 Contos is a wicked camp spot. Just be careful cos schools do camps there. I went for camp last year. so it would Probably ruin the peace and quiet. I know I contributed to the absence of serenity last year.
