Many showground campgrounds are located on the outskirts of town – with beautiful scenery, wide open spaces and excellent facilities. However, it also means you need to get back in the RV or car if you want a night out.

The Bushman’s Bar is only open Friday and Saturday nights – with limited times for meals.
