The park managers warn everyone about the trees. Widowmakers.

Here is a report I did on another forum for Bigriggen, back in April.

We have just come back from a weekend camping at Bigriggen. All the weather was good but it did get a little breezy on the Saturday.

The cost was $7pn for adults and $4 for kids.

Bigriggen is set on 50 acres so even though there were quite a few campers, there was a bit of space between sites.

There is just the one amenity block for the site so it can be a bit of walk back and fro. Also there wasn't much queuing. The showers were 20c for 2 mins.

Dump Point

Firewood is available for $7 for a 25kg bag. There are a number of rings made from 44gallon drums around the place. You will need a good splitting axe though as some of the pieces can be quite large.

There is plenty of space for the kids to bring their bikes and ride around, or kick a ball etc. There is a waterhole but was a little on the cool side.

The possums were quite friendly though I think they had food on their minds.

This was Forest the Frog at the amenity building (sorry I wasn't quick enough to flick to macro mode)

They also had a community hall available for groups.

Ah yes, I remember it now. The houses I was thinking of were at another place in the same region. I recall the owners telling us that the camp grounds are usually full to overflowing at Easter and that they can fit up to 300 tents in at that time - that sounds like an awfully huge crowd - not my style of camping. But certainly, if it is spread out as shown in your photos I wouldn't mind. It is nice to have a little bit of privacy and space.

My life is a performance for which I was never given the chance to rehearse.
