Ridge Line Camp

Good joint and lovely owners. Warning do not drive past the campground entrance fence in a 2 wheel drive car down to the waterfall which I stupidly did which was my fault. But a very nice place to visit.

Ridge Line Camp

Tranquil creek

Warm welcome and lovely little spot to pitch a tent for the night. Walked down through the bush via the path mapped and spent the morning at the creek. Not a soul in sight. It was beautiful.

Ridge Line Camp

Lovely spot to camp. Toby and the others were super friendly. It was so nice to have the whole campsite to ourselves, especially at Easter time. The swimming spot was so beautiful.
