Weekend Trip to Misty Mountain Farm - Farm Stay

Great location. Only a short drive to Seven Mile Beach, Shoalhaven Haven Heads, Gerroa, Gerringong and Kiama. A spacious paddock to pull up. Could feel busy if all sites were full, but we had only two others near us on night one, and the place to ourselves on night two. Great star gazing at night, and the fire pits were a nice touch.

Amazing weekend camping with three families. Plenty of space in the paddock for the kids to run around. Leanne was wonderful. Fantastic host. Kids loved watching the animals, and going for a walk around the property. Ground is quite hard the moment so a hammer was useful when getting pegs in!

The gorge is incredible! The camp spot Is huge and Leanne has done such an amazing job with the log benches and set up - it’s honestly perfect! The gorge is beyond words. The pictures don’t do it justice. I had planned on proposing but couldn’t have dreamt the gorge lookout would be so perfect over sunset! It’s insane that the lookout is moments away from your camp spot (a short walk). Without a doubt the best $130 I’ve ever spent. Cant wait to come back!
