Waking up the next day we could see the beauty of the spot, we were nestled amongst towering pine trees and tranquil bush land. I'd bought the bikes for the girls but due to the slope of the campsite they kept riding down the hill and expected me to carry the bikes back up.
Looking around the camping area there seem to be a lot of little areas you could set up your campsite in, some in the bush away from the main camping area. Unlike the National parks you were allowed to burn firewood found in the bush, only problem with this was there seemed to be a 1km radius around the campsite free of any usable firewood, so I was left regretting the fact I packed my chainsaw instead of firewood.
Bushwalking tracks shot off from the campground in all different directions. One of the paths was edged with a row of bushrock, there were a series of bridges and areas with handrailing and makeshift steps. There is a nice little river running not far from the campsite. A couple of little water falls are also not far away.
We went for a walk through the bush and strolled across other camp sites near by there wasn't abundance of wild life but we saw the odd wallaby and plenty of bird life.

After Lunch we took our little blow up raft down to a small man made damn near the campsite the girls had a great time floating around in the afternoon sun.
The people had taken their dogs to the campsite and some of the people staying there were there to ride their trail bikes, the noise of the motorbikes did disturb the peaceful atmosphere but it wasn't for to long.
We also went walking down the river bed climbing over rocks and jumping over the running water, the girls found hanging vines to swing on and had fun exploring.
The trip was cut short on Sunday as Miette woke up unwell, Although we headed home early the time we spent at the pines was very enjoyable I'd recommend camping there.
