RUBBISH. There are rubbish bins provided. 

ACTIVITIES. Our allocated area is immediately adjacent to the river and there is a sandy beach immediately in front for those who might want to cool off.

The local area has many places of interest. Pitt Town and Windsor were among Governor Lachlan Macquarie’s Five Towns, set up to feed the growing settlement of Sydney from the rich alluvial soils along the Hawkesbury. The historic village of Windsor (about 7km away) has an extensive street market every Sunday. Pitt Town itself is a small village just over a kilometre away. Drives along the Hawkesbury are always attractive, and you can take in the Richmond Air Force base or the town of Richmond itself.

Pitt Town has a small supermarket, a selection of basic shops (bottle shop, bakery, pizza, pharmacy, butcher, doctor, hardware, pub, several restaurants) so supplies can be obtained easily.

HAPPY HOUR. Please bring your own nibbles and drinks to the centre of camp for happy hour at 3pm.

Come sit & relax with a bunch of like minded people. Check the modifications others have done to their camper trailers to make camping life all that more enjoyable. You might meet as complete strangers on the Friday evening, but will part old friends such is the camaraderie.

You do not need a camper trailer to attend. Members without a camper are more than welcome to come along & get a first hand unbiased opinion of a particular camper trailer from their owners. Come along & meet the faces behind the typing.

Please keep in mind that the group owners will not accept any responsibility for members & non-members actions during the weekend get together. If you decide to attend, it is solely at your own responsibility, including any side trips or outings during the weekend meet.
