A beautiful drive to the Courthouse Flat Camping Ground situated next to an historic goldfield.
The road is not suitable for large campervans as the road can become impassable after heavy rain falls. There is walking access over the dart River if this is the case.
Try your hand at striking it rich with a bit of gold panning action. There is good fishing, walking and for the extremo's, caving.
There are no fires permitted at anytime, and the only water is from a stream.
Talking of gold, the walk from this campsite to nearby Mt Owen is just that.
The bottom section of Chummies Track has been rerouted. The original section of track is now closed with no access permitted.
The new track is signposted at Prices Clearing, Wangapeka River. See map (JGP, 116K)
