The Dusty Campervan blog is a diary of our travels, long and short in "Dusty" the VW Transporter. Trips start from home base in Canberra, Australia. On the road we love to free camp, beach fish, birdwatch, kayak and hunt out roadside stalls and markets for locally grown treats. Posts will be updated most Mondays or if something interesting happens.

Shallow Crossing Camping Experience
This post is from a couple of weekends ago, when we took the van to the backwaters of the Clyde River inland from Batemans Bay, for some birdwatching and kayaking. Our trailer was not yet ready and we had to load the kayaks into the back to transport. They fitted, but it was a bit of a pain. Shallow Crossing is where the fresh and salt water meet. The water level is dependant on the flow and the size of the tide, we have a very low clearance so we timed out drive to coincide with low tide.
The camp site runs along the river bank, it has plenty of shade shelters with picnic tables and you can light a fire. There are hot showers and drop toilets. We did not see Jim the owner while we were there, I presume that he must have been away as the ammenities were never cleaned and it looked like it had been sometime since the rubbbish had been removed.
Having done our share of campsite cleaning it didn't worry us, but I was tempted to give Jim a few tips should he have appeared to collect the site fees.
