Outstanding Campsite & Host
Darren is a wonderful host and goes out of his way to ensure his campers are happy and understand what he offers. We only went overnight on our first camp at Darren's, but we are planning to go back for a two night camp latter this month. We had two Hungarian Vizslas that loved the campsite. We didn't use the shower because we have our own in our camper, but Darren's is one of the best we have seen. There are lots of kangaroos to watch in their natural environment. Keep up the great work Darren. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Roz, Craig, Odin & Eva

Helpful host, good location close to wineries. Sites are sloping but ramps available to level up. Good spot to view a sunset.

This was my first time camping solo. Great location less than an hour from Adelaide but feels quiet and rural. Wonderful views over toward the coastline and the sunset was beautiful! Darren checked in with me as I picked out a site and after I was settled in to make sure everything was ok. The other sites were booked as well but everyone was far enough apart that it was essentially my own quiet getaway.
In the dead of night you could hear the faint sounds of a wedding band playing at a nearby winery, but it was not loud enough to disturb and you had to focus to hear it.

Dog enjoyed his stay
I’m fairly local so wasn’t there for visiting the wonderful wineries or beautiful beaches, I was just there to test out my new motor home off grid. Darren was very helpful and accommodating as were fellow campers in helping me iron out any problems I found. My dog had the best time there and was free to run around and play with the other dogs. We were allowed camp fires and enjoyed watching the setting sun over the sea and watch the twinkling lights of suburbia in the distance.
