๐๏ธ Alexanders Hut Campground โ Tantawangalo, NSW
๐ Description & Location
Located in the South East Forest National Park, just outside Bombala, Alexanders Hut Campground sits on a plain of grassy frost hollows at the edge of tall eucalyptus forest. With only one marked site, this is true seclusion, perfect for those looking to get far away from it allโwhether camping with family, horse riding, or simply soaking in the stillness.
