Red Bridge Reserve
4.5/5
Big parking, lot's of campervans so you can feel safe.
Dump toilets but modern and cleaned daily, with toilet paper. Close to road but it's not too busy, almost no traffic at night. No water provided at the area, and no benches or tables. It's a free campsite, and as one, it's really good one imo, better than some cheap paid ones in the area.

Kidds Bush Reserve Campsite
2.5/5
The road to the campsite is terrible, it's washed out by water with a lot of deep holes, and plenty of cattle stops on the way.
There were sandflies. Facilities are closed and the only toilets were mostly very full, portable plastic ones like in festivals. Untreated water on the site, picnic area with sinks of which some have broken drain.
View is nice, distance from main road made it a quiet place with a lot of space for parking or camping. Nevertheless if not on the campsite pass, I wouldn't say it's worth it.
