Cutters Camp Campground is in a beautiful setting in the Mebbin National Park and with its remoteness I expected to be there in the bush by myself. But to my surprise it seemed to be used as a School Camp as on two of the three nights I recently spent there two separate groups of school children hiked in about midday camped for the night and then with mountain bikes brought in by trailer left by bike about midday the next day. The first group were very quiet and considerate of others being there but the second group were a little noisier and I think the teachers shouting out their instructions made more noise than the children. But I just loved the place and the possibility of school groups turning up would certainly not put me off going there again. Both ways into Cutters Camp Campground have about 12 kilometres of gravel road and with overhanging trees and vines I would not recommend it for large rigs. There are two water tanks there but I would recommend boiling if you inten

Took the grandkids in here for a night in the motorhome. 7.6 long and 3.2 high no problems. Went right through to Tyalgum ( very nice small town). Would highly recommend.
