General Information
You can park a caravan, trailer, or a tent in this campground
There are a total of 100 campsites
This large campsite is on the bank of Jounama Creek, not far from the Tumut 3 power station. The campsite is split into three main areas. The built-up area is near the wheelchair-accessible toilet, with space for caravans and easy access to the creek. A little further downstream (the clearing you passed on the way in) is a great area for tents and camper trailers, with a short walk to the toilet. Further down the road, there is more camping, not suitable for caravans or trailers, and with no facilities. There is plenty to explore in the area, including walks along the creek and playing in the (cold) water. Talbingo has some offerings with some info on the power station, a 9-hole golf course, a small shopping center (supermarket open 7 days), country club, service station and more.

Busby's - Jounama Creek Camping IP:121.216.231.xxx | 2008-09-25 14:48:09
It's a beautiful place with lots of wildlife and loads of camping area,Pit toilet and fire places.Creek runs right by your door if you want.
Dont forget to take a hike to the end of road..4x4 ,but car with high ground clearance will make it...other smaller camps...no amenties along the road.

Great hike where road ends to a swimming hole..follows the creek with great photo oppitunities along the way.

Give it a 4star rating for camping
Talbingo 5kms away.
