Way too busy for us at Easter- both on the roads, and in the campsites- and so hard too find anywhere that is not packed out..... we prefer to make our long weekend when no else does! Also can get a lot done around the place that way as well......  :D

Hello!

It has been ages since I have been on here, other than a quick browse.

Hoping to go camping for a few days over Easter - dunno where yet but while we are working it out, I thought I'd find out where everyone else is headed during this lovely long break?! :)

Surely you can delay a bit. We are supposed to move in this weekend but I am pushing to after Easter rather than giving up 5 days at Moreton with the mrs and my boy. It will be his first beach camping experience as it was always bush when in Sydney.

So Easter + another 103 days, give or take 1 day.  ;D

Fraser was great, but last time at Easter for us, just to give an idea, we arrived at Eli creek at about 9.30, set up and within an hour this is what it was like, the vehicle went around the corner maybe another 100 or so meters,  I have never seen this many people here before, wow - was good to people watch for a while, but decided to head into lake Mackenzie, car park was chockers not one space and many people parked in, about 3 tag along tours with 6 or 7 vehicles loaded with 6 - 8 people was simply way crowded for us.
