Such an incredibly secluded place to stay. Next to no noise apart from nature itself. Suzy was amazing, very warm and friendly and left me to be after that. I absolutely loved my stay there I would definitely stay again.

Fantastic spot. I have been four times with my sons and will continue to go. Jim is a great host and provides a perfect combination of bush outlook, privacy and spaced out camping spots with the comfort of your own toilet and drinking water. Also have easy access to Morisset for supplies if needed. Highly recommend.

We loved camping here, came as a couple with our small dog and we had a great time. The directions were clear and the site had a great view of the valley. We saw lots of kangaroos and even some deer and had the spot all to ourselves.

We loved camping at Mandalong Manor! Our site was well secluded from other campers. Jim drove down 20L water jerries each day. We saw many kangaroos and birds and they did not raid our site. We had a nice view from our site. Jim was welcoming and helpful and saved us from our car trouble. Jim's neighbours were really nice. Jim has a cool collection of old Land Rovers. Overall great experience would reccomend!

We loved the privacy and beauty of this site. Perfect for tent camping, swimming and even fishing! Caught a bass, saw a herd of wild deer, had several fires and especially enjoyed the stars at night. Suzy was friendly and very helpful. We will definitely be back, next time with our dog!

Really well maintained site. Not a single bit of trash to be found. Very friendly and informative host. Caught two Bass, and a few platypus sightings. Woke to a field full of deer. Didn't need leveling ramps for the camper. And very peaceful.

Beautiful lush spot by the creek, very green. Lovely peaceful vibe, popular with kangaroos. Host Andy gave us a friendly wave while doing his farm work. Directions are clear, but if you reach the "Private Property" sign, you've gone too far (and the neighbour wasn't too happy about it!)

Nice camping spot for a relaxed little getaway. The spots to fellow campers are really far from each other, so you still have peace and quiet in case others decided for the same spot.
Lots of wallabies and kangaroos around, very peaceful.
The organic toilet worked well, no smell or whatsoever.
Can recommend the place!

We chose a gorgeous, private spot on the creek, which we had to ourselves. We climbed the hill, saw a lace monitor and enjoyed the walk. Went for a wade in the creek. Suzy is a very friendly host who brought us some firewood. We had a lovely weekend just relaxing and reading.
