ELLENBOROUGH RESERVE

Public BBQ

A genuinely beautiful free camping reserve along the river, with clean flowing water and toilets that are kept in good order. The setting deserves better than its current state. A number of long-term camp setups have established themselves across the reserve, which leaves few spots available for anyone passing through, and the flow-on effects are hard to ignore: the public bins are drawn into private setups and the remainder overflow, broken items and disused vehicles are scattered about, and generators run through the day. Several travellers have cut planned stays short as a result. Worth checking the current situation before committing to more than a night.
