There are no marked sites or running water at this walk-in campground, but it's a delightful (and shady) place to spend a few days under canvas. At its centre is a timber slab hut built for Australian author Kylie Tennant as a writers' retreat during WWII. You're welcome to use the hut for writing too, although it's not for overnighting.
