Description

The Big Brook Arboretum is 3km from Big Brook Dam, along the Karri Forest Explorer Drive. A campground can accommodate tents, campervans, camper trailers and caravans. Picnic tables and a toilet are provided. Campfires are usually permitted, in the communal provided fire ring only, between April 15 and November 30 but fire restrictions may be imposed at any time and without notice. Bring your own firewood. When fire restrictions are in place campfire must not be lit and any appliance powered by burning solid fuel must not be used. Always comply with any instructions at campgrounds and parks. Campers´ own liquid or gas fuel barbeques, stoves and heaters can be used at any time, unless a total fire ban has been declared. You can reach this site by 2WD. Camping fees apply. Cash only - no credit card facilities. Bookings cannot be made. You can wander among the many plots of exotic trees that were planted here to see how they would grow and respond to the local soil and climate, and to determine their potential plantation value. The trail will take you through a grove of sequoias, or American redwoods, past spotted gums from New South Wales and through natural karri forest as you circle back to the picnic area.
