The centre of Hill End is just nearby but Glendora campground feels a million miles away from everything. Enjoy breakfast in the company of kangaroos to a soundtrack of galahs and king parrots singing from the trees.

There’s camping to suit everyone, with a few different sections to choose from, as well as sites for caravans and motorhomes. There are excellent picnic facilities and cover under pavilions just in case the weather turns from sunshine to rain.

After you’ve worked up an appetite learning about days gone by at Hill End’s historic sites, why not gather around the fire ring for a cook-up on the hotplate, followed by some spooky stories?
