Millionth Acre, Hampton State Forest, is more of a rest area then it is a camp site. But it is FREE and could be a good spot to park the van or trailer for the night on your way too or from Jenolan Caves. It may have been a pleasant spot up until recently, but it would seem that the forestry dept, in their wisdom decided to cut the pine forest all the way back to the camp ground. This has given the site a world war 1 french battle field type vibe more so than a forest picnic/camp site vibe.
Though, when you're stuck and you need to pull in some where for the night that has a toilet, then this is a good a spot as any.
