Thought i'd give you Adelaide boys a heads up on another nice camp spot i had a look at on the weekend.
Its called Rocky Paddock and is situated amongst the pines in Mt Crawford Forest between Williamstown and Birdwood.
Its set in off the main road up a couple of well formed gravel roads easily accessible by car.
The area contains 30 sites of various size and contour with heaps of shade and fire pits with a few having swing away plates.
Price is $5 per adult per night, $2 per child or a family pass for $20 for a week.
There are toilets but no showers.
The entrance is about half a kilometer south of the Mt Crawford ranger/info station where permits can be bought via an honour box system.
