This was Troy's introduction to camping. Some people said I was crazy, some said brave, to go camping with a 3 week old... But in the group of campers there were nurses and even a midwife, heaps of kids to help keep a 3yo entertained, and  family to catch up with... How could I go wrong?!
There was lots of swimming done, and a couple of rides in the boat (watching wakeboarding, and wake-surfing). The water was great temperature!
Not many facilities here - just a few drop toilets, no drinking water, no showers. But the ground is nice, and plenty of grass. Some spots have a bit of a slope. This camp ground is really for tents, not camper trailers, but we did manage to squeeze our trailer in next to the boundary fence of the grassed area, near the toilets (good for early toilet trained 3yo's!).

Activities:
(Swimming is near the boat ramp, so it's between moored boats.)
