Comments: River level can change quickly if water is released from Copeton Dam for irrigators, so camping right on edge level with river is not wise, plenty of area for camping, quality depends on who gets their first, second area across river at back of Golf Club is nicer and can be less crowded. Great bakery and butcher in town, save receipts to drop in box at Info Centre for the town to show how much free campers spend to council.
