The campsite and surrounding areas were largely burned out in the 2019/20 fires. The campsite is slowly recovering but much of the surrounding area was subject to particularly intense heat, making recovery much slower, and with some species, impossible.

Pleasant, flat grassed campsites along Jounama Creek with a choice of shade or sun.

Access from the Snowy Mountains Highway is 2WD, all weather. You may have to carry snow chains in winter.
