Meetings, meditation and fun in a peaceful bush setting – that’s the Bill W camp – now in its 26th year. Some great sharing at meetings under the stars, morning meditation by the river, a damper cooking competition (BYO flour), a dip in the hot springs, or bring your talent to Red Faces.
Swimming in the river with the crocodiles is not advised, but we are welcome to use the Resort’s big pool. It’s a camp, so bring your own everything including a chair for meetings. We do supply cold water, tea and coffee – in your own mug.
The Douglas Daly Tourist Park reserves an area for us which includes a camping and vehicle site. If you are camping ($15 a night) no need to book. The park also reserves us a few caravan sites close to the action.
If you’d like to book a powered site or reserve a room or self-contained cabin, BOOK EARLY because our camp runs over a holiday weekend and the park gets very busy. Contact the park direct on 08 8978 2479 and say “I’m with the Bill W Camp†For more info….
