Callum came to meet us and even lent us a water pipe for our motorhome because ours was too short. Super responsive during our stay and such a beautiful farm. He also has a ton of impressive wood work in the barn next to the powered sites. Would deffo return and stay here next time I’m back

We received a warm and welcoming greeting from Callum. I loved the Old Barn in the Paddock. If you are after a rural vibe, this property definitely hits the spot, with stunning views in every direction. The dam is a bit on the low side, but that can't be helped. It is also a little "weedy" from the edge of the dam, so a long line for fishing from the edge is needed, or a boat, or in my instance, a kayak. A successful catch of red fin perch. (Yes, I had a licence). The grounds surrounding the Barn are undulating, but campers or vans with chocks wouldn't have a problem. Down closer to the dam on the lower ground, it is flatter, but harder, but be sure not to go to close to the soft edges. The only setback in my opinion is lack of shelter from the weather, in our case, wind. It is very open, so tents, be prepared.

We had a peaceful and relaxed night at Craigbourne Estate and woke to a beautiful view of the sunrise over the dam. Powered site 1 was spacious, neat and tidy, and easy to find.

Lovely people and the dog Millie is very friendly. It would be a great spot for campervans but we pitched a tent and the wind was terrible as it is very open but has good views etc. A caravan or campervan would be the way to go.

We had such a beautiful stay here. The campsite overlooks a stunning dam, and waking up to the sight of swans gliding across the water was something really special. It was incredibly peaceful — the kind of place where you can properly switch off and just enjoy the quiet. Sunset was absolutely magical. We’ll definitely be back!

This camp was perfect. It hit every quintessential camping vibe we wanted for the weekend. Level areas, fires, water views and quiet. Easy to find, absolutely lovely hosts and a very friendly dog. Our kids cried when the weekend was over.

What a beautiful place to stay, wish it had been more than one night, but keen to return. To wake up to ducks, geese, swans and Cape Barron geese all landing on the water was spectacular!! Getting to meet the puppies was wonderful as well :)

Hi, I went on mid feb to celebrate my anniversary, but we left late but the Callum was concerned about us whether we are coming or not, but he was good guy , we can’t able to make tent as it was windy so we decided to sleep in our car, It was good place, we saw that Callum is giving his efforts for further upgrade we wish him a best wishes, hope to visit that place again in greenery seasons. I request Callum to make toilet.

The old barn Paddock is a great place to sit ,relax and watch the world go by oh and the swans and the geese . Nestled on the edge of Craigburne Dam there is plenty of room so you can bring friends or go it alone. We spent three nights there and highly recommend it. The hosts are great and may even come down and have a chat and maybe a beer or wine.
