BEDFORD WEIR CAMPING GROUNDS

Public BBQ

A free camp on Bedford Weir about 26 kilometres out of Blackwater, with a week-long stay limit and a donation box that funds it. The toilets and hot showers are cleaned daily and are better than those at many commercial caravan parks. There is plenty of flat, open ground with good shade, gas barbecues under shelters, picnic tables, bins and a playground in the day-use area. The weir itself is good for a swim, and the birdlife is remarkable, with peacocks, apostle birds, kookaburras, guinea fowl and lyrebirds all about. Peacocks roaming the sites make tenting awkward. There is no Telstra coverage at all, mosquitoes are bad during the day, the ground is dusty, and the quarry nearby makes noise in working hours. Fire pits and dogs on lead are both fine.
