A couple of kilometres drive down the 4WD road marked as "Dry Creek" on the Araluen Road there are 4 distinct campsites: *Area 1* This is the first campsite you will reach - not quite at the river. It has a BBQ area and a toilet. It is suitable for one party comprising a couple of tents. *Area 2* Drive through Area 1 and continue for about 100m. This site is a bit more private....
