About this campsite

Frances Recreation Ground is a well-maintained public space, ideal for camping and picnicking, managed by the community of Frances.

With its convenient features and engaging events, Frances Recreation Ground is a perfect destination for campers.

The small community of Frances looks after this facility on a volunteer basis. There are accessible flushing toilets, bins and a hose connector tap providing drinkable bore water. A pub and a store are walking distance from the recreation ground. On the last weekend in February, the Ground is host to a folk music gathering, during which there is a small nightly camping fee. The store sells groceries and fuel and is a post office. The pub serves meals every night and pizza is available on Saturdays from 5pm.
