 Car camping and with day walks along Hume and Hovell Trail.
There are four separate reserves at Reflections Wee Jasper Campground https://reflectionsholidays.com.au/parks/wee-jasper/ – all within five minutes drive from each other. Three are on the river with Fitzpatrick Reserve at the Trailhead (of the same name) of The Hume and Hovell Trail. There isn’t a shop at Wee Jasper. The caravan park has a kiosk where they sell basics including ice.
The manager has told me that it is not necessary to book before December. Regarding site selection. It is a first in best served basis. It’s ~ $18/night per campsite. Once you book you lose the first night’s fee if you cancel. There are flush toilets and hot showers.
Members to book their own sites. Car sharing arrangements to Wee Jasper closer to dates. Dates can be changed if necessary. Walks to be listed closer to date. Most walks will be Grade 3. Not necessary to participate in walks. Dogs on lead allowed at camping ground and some walks.
