Yes, we encourage camping and making use of the free evening entertainment. Once the Brookton Caravan Park (Contact Shire of Brookton) is full we will allow camping at the edge of the oval in designated areas. There is no water or power on the sites and hence the fee is less than an unpowered site at the Caravan Park. The fee is $15 per vehicle per night and you will still have access to the toilets and showers at the Pavilion.
