Andrew Drynan Park.
Nestled in a quiet valley with a great outlook and clear running stream is this great family reserve.
Crystal clear "Running Creek" flows down from the Border Ranges national park and provides a centre point for campers, particularly in the warmer months as a great place to cool off.
In the cooler months sitting around a warm open fire and your troubles drift away.
There is plenty of exploring up and down the creek banks for the energetic and plenty of open space for kids to kick a ball around.
The odd train rattles through the hills but this just adds to the ambiance.
Day trips from here can be up to the National Park to see the loop track or further south to take in the beautiful county towns and grab a counter meal at one of the locals.
Some sites will be a challenge to get level but there are plenty of sites around.
The caretaker lives across the road and visits each morning.
All up highly recommended camp ground.
