We're located just 5kms northeast of Moama, where you can hop aboard a paddle-steamer, visit waterside wineries and soak up rich riverboat heritage.
We offer a few large, beautiful, basic bush camping sites (the best kind!) in amongst 50 acres of bushland, with 100's of meters and trees between you and other potential campers.
The rest of our property is used for cropping and sheep.
Campers must take out what you bring in.
Big Bama and No 3 - you'll need to be fully self contained. There is a dump point in Moama.
Toilets can be hired from Central Hire in Echuca. They can deliver it for you.
