Welcome

The Captains Flat Area Section 355 Committee welcomes you to Captains Flat and hope you enjoy your stay here.


Local residents on behalf of Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council run the Captains Flat Area Section 355 Committee. We're responsible for the management of the Wilkins Memorial Park and the Captains Flat Community Hall. This means that control of booking the hall, oval, cricket pitch and camping is in local hands.

Camping information

Where to set up

You can set up your campsite in the red sections marked on the map (please don't set up in or around the football field or drive on it).


It's also strongly recommended that you do not camp directly under the large trees. These trees are susceptible to dropping large branches at any time, especially during extended dry periods. These limbs can be extremely large and may endanger your safety or life should they fall on your campsite.
