About this campsite

Rainbow Reserve is a peaceful and spacious traveling stock reserve where you can potentially share space with cattle. The location provides a serene atmosphere with broad, still sections of river. Though spots near the river are limited and sloping, hectares of level spots are available in the rough pasture behind it. For those seeking absolute tranquility, there's an even larger area north of the road. Additionally, Rainbow Reserve is close to the popular Lees Reserve, which is easily accessible via Google Maps.

Limited spots close to river and they are sloping but plenty of level spots (hectares) behind it in rough pasture. Limited shade. Even bigger area north of the road for those who really want peace and quiet. (Lees Reserve is the third reserve from town and perhaps most popular - but maybe because it has been added to Google Maps)
