I noticed there hasn't been a dedicated thread on Wee Jasper Reserve. Perhaps those who go there have been keeping it under wraps. Well time to blow the lid on this place.
Here are the respective links to their facebook page and website which has a heap of info and photos.
Overall it is a great spot with three separate campgrounds, on the banks of the Goodradigbee River and Micalong Creek.
I think Micalong Creek is the pick and is where I always go. You can take the dog, have fires (not during summer though), great swimming (bring a lilo/rubber tube) to float down the river. Take the mountain bikes as well.
Also a pair of 'wet shoes; will make it so more enjoyable for the kids to walk through the river without hitting their toes or copping some glass in the foot.
The Goodradigbee River runs well when the height is above 0.8m. Check here for the current height.
You can also visit the nearby Carey's Caves.
In regard to access for caravans there are no issues. The road to Wee Jasper is completely sealed. There is some narrow sections and steep decents, but take it slow and all will be fine.
The road between Billy Grace campground and Micalong Creek is unsealed and pretty dusty, but is worth it.
Anyway here are some pics from my trips here over the years.

Goodradibee River at Swinging Bridge Campground. Just watch the kids here, when river is flowing well not ideal for them.
