“Good rest stop.”
Well maintained reserve. Welcoming National Parks Ranger. Even when full still peaceful. Close to river. Close to Canberra and the tourism sites. Would definitely go again. Discount for card...

“Amazing place for camping! Just $30”
Perfect place to relax and unwind, in the morning you’ll wake up to a fresh water river which you can take a dip ❤️ one of your favourite places to stay on the way to Melbourne.

“Cotter dam”
Dam can be viewed from car if you are unable to walk to the viewing platform - some stairs and ramps. One can walk to top of dam about 1hr return walk.
