Lovely and peaceful, large open area with trees, electric BBQ($1 coin, $2 will cook your meal). Great hot showers, flushing toilets, power point in toilets with push button timer. A bit far to walk into town, but a short drive. They're putting in a new road internally, it looks like it might get a bit damp. $10 per RV for 2 people, plus $5 for additional people.

Lovely place to stay. Handy to the Goldfields areas. Very level grounds but in rain could get a bit boggy. Dump point, water and amenities. Honesty box on building at front gate.

This is one of the nicest recreation reserves we have stayed at. Everything is here that could be needed. Serene countryside and great facilities, including hot showers. $10 per night, permit to be displayed, and funds go to support caring for the campsite. Congratulations to the community of Newstead.

We love this quiet level camping area. Good flush toilets and showers. Short walk to shops and hotel.
