• The WILD PLAY Discovery Centre, off Dickens Drive

• Sign In from 3:00pm, there will be a sign in desk setup and a trolley for your gear. We set up camp on the big lawn next to the Education area (Loch Ave South).

How?

• Our rangers will show you where you can setup and help you with the tents. Tents must be at least 2.5m apart from each other. (Note: You will have to walk around 100metres between car park and camp. Ask our rangers if you need help carrying your gear in on a trolley).

Parking?

• We welcome you to park on the hardstand in front of the Discovery Centre, follow the “Camping 101” sign from Dickens Drive where the Educators will meet you.
