Crosslands
	Alt = 1
Crosslands Reserve is a long stretch of land spanning along the edge of Berowra Creek that has been incorperated into the Berowra Valley National Park. The facilities that Crosslands offer are sheltered and unsheltered picnic tables, electric barbeques, toilets, ample parking, and a childrens playground and bicycle track, however do not dispair campers because there are large flat grassy areas all over the reserve, providing you with the ability to camp pretty much wherever you like. There are camping fees involved for those staying over night (including those accidently locked in after dark), these are $9.00 per night for adults and $6.00 for children (infants under 4 are free). As i said before the gate does lock at 5.30pm EST and 7.30pm (daylight savings time).
