Does anyone have a site map of last year ?
And you might have to be careful with your giant set up Lance

I reckon we'll be right, not taking the TD on that trip, just the campervan.
We'll fit in a corner somewhere.

They tell me normal sites are 16 mtrs long, they have asked for towed cars to be dropped before entry, bit too difficult for us though and the trailer has 1 Kw of solar so they made a site to suit. We are 19 mtrs.
I would guess that this means there will be no other coach/trailer combos there and hasn't in the past ?

They appear to be a victim of their popularity. Originally held at the Scout Camp, the move to their current venue has allowed for growth, and less space per vehicle.

We're not excited by crowded venues but we'll give it a go and see how it pans out.
STCs fits well time wise for a 10-14 day work break for us leading into a leisurely drive down to Girgarre for another meet up with like minded Ukesters.
Open minds here and looking forward to STCs

Wow, seems pretty tight but we will also wait and see, so much for our awnings both sides ! Intend to lob at CK for a couple of days first to check out the place.
Seems to be a little cooler than we like, shorts are ok but more than one level on top, NO

I have stayed at CK scout camp several times. It's a bit tight there. Only power for less than 10 sites. I am sure that Paul will fit you in somewhere, but there won't be any choice of sites for a big rig. Wilks Park is very popular, as is Oura Beach

Thanks for that John, I am starting to think that with 450 +(at this stage) vehicles all thinking of doing the same thing it may be wiser to look for a staging area a bit further out ?
