What to Watch Out For at Queenstown Football Campground
This site fills early, so plan to arrive as early as possible. In our experience, this is true for many of the low-cost and free camps in Tasmania during summer.
You must enter the site via Wilsdon Road. Some GPS navigation may lead you down a dead-end road that will be difficult to get out of.
