About Us

Bright Cabin and Caravan Park

Bright Cabin and Caravan Park, Camp Crusty, started life in the late 1930s as a camp for loggers working in the local pine plantations.

During the 1950s it morphed into a camp that hosted school groups and clubs.

More recently it has become a destination for tourists travelling to the Bright area looking for a natural holiday experience.

Our History

Camp Crusty has a rich history being one of the most historic areas in the Alpine Region.

We are a natural caravan park, with grass sites, native flora and fauna, and access to a river so clean that we regularly see platypus swimming there.

We are a caravan park perfect for people wanting a break from the hustle and bustle of general life. We give our campers the opportunity to reconnect to nature and relax.
