We had a beautiful family escape out on the farm! Absolutely perfect campsite and the kids loved running down to explore the pond. Great quick family camp getaway so close to Canberra - just what we were looking for!

Great escape! Downside was the price - it felt quite overpriced for a long weekend, especially with no amenities. Otherwise, a lovely place.

Loved camping off grid amongst the parrots and birds! Walking around the property was also great including up the local hill! Hard to believe that this is all just 24.9k as the crow flies from Australia’s Parliament House! We will definitely return - thanks to our hosts too who were super responsive and helpful!

Weekend Trip to Cypress Springs

We had a great little overnight get away. Lots of places to pull up, almost too hard to choose the best spot! Bella was lovely and friendly over the chat and provided great instructions to get ourselves set up. Highlight was the afternoon stroll around the block exploring with the kids

We liked the amenities that was provided, only thing we think could improve is the space between the sites. We were at site 72, which was great, but just made it difficult a little to swing the camper into the designated spot. Other than that, an amazing place to stay, all neighbours were quiet and respectful.

Great location, close to all major attractions. The showers were hot and bathrooms clean. Staff helpful and the Tavern provided a great spot to cool off with a cold beverage. I would bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper as other campers and the highway can get loud.
