Conto springs campground is a good place to camp. Hooked something unstopable off the rocks near there once baitcasting mulies at dusk. The campground has lots of possums that come out at night. They are quite fond of doritos but I don't think you are supposed to feed them.

Chapman Pool

Chapman Pool is pretty nice and is not too far from Hamelin Bay and the good fishing in that area.

Such a nice place to go, with all the bays you will have somewhere to fish.
