Bounded by five acres of bush camp sites, this tidy park has self-contained cabins salvaged from the 2000 Sydney Olympics (all with TVs and cooking facilities − the cheaper ones are sans bathroom). The 12km return hike up Mt Remarkable starts on the back doorstep. Next door is a converted agricultural shed with basic dorm facilities. Crazy-busy at Easter.
