We absolutely loved camping on Kate’s property. There is so much space, acres of lush land that feel open, calm, and beautifully maintained. Waking up to the sounds of animals in the morning was a real highlight and made the experience feel very peaceful. We barely heard the noise of the road despite being close to it.
The location is excellent, with very easy access to the popular beaches around the Jervis Bay area. A big plus for us was that the camping is dog-friendly, and the generous space between sites meant we never felt crowded or too close to other campers. Kate took the time to introduce us to her animals, the goaties, alpacas, and donkeys which was such a special touch. Overall a relaxing and memorable camping spot that we’d happily return to.

We loved our stay here. Great hosts, plenty of space, flat ground and cute animals to feed in the morning. The portaloo was a bonus and surprisingly clean and didn't smell!
If you need to fill your caravan water tanks before arriving, you can do so at the rec reserve just 2 minutes away.
Great location to explore the surrounding areas. We loved swimming with the kids at Bendalong and at the river near Mona Mona playground in the Jervis Bay area.
Will definitely stay again if visiting the area.

Wandy Donkey Camp was a fantastic spot for tent camping. Beautiful scenery and the large paddock meant it felt very private even with other campers sharing the space because everyone was able to spread out. Kate was an excellent host. Unfortunately we didn't meet the donkeys on this visit but will hopefully be back!

We absolutely loved the setting - the nature out there is breathtaking. The hosts are very very friendly and welcoming and gave us total freedom to choose a spot to camp even offered a ride to a neerby lookout in their 4WD.
We did expect the swimming conditions to be slightly different - the creek was dry - and would have appreciated more info regarding that, but again we loved it and deffinitely do recomend to everyone
Thank you

This was a lovely campsite. I was only there for a very short time but I found the sites well spaced out from each other, and everything was in good condition. The location is wonderfully close to the main highway, but far enough not to hear any noise. I met the operators very briefly but they were lovely and also very responsive by message. I would happily stay there again.

Kate and Dave were the most amazing hosts and the Camp was the best we’ve stayed at! The different camperes were placed far apart so it felt like we had the entire ground to ourselves - and we were placed so we were looking right at the cows which was amazing. In the morning we were able to meet and pet all the animals on the farm which was an amazing experience ❤️
Fuerthermore they were amazing at showing us the stingrays and how to feed them.
Again thank you so much both of you! We definitely recommend this camp😃
