Utilise this weekend as a test run in my newly built camper pod, the site had two long drop toilets and an open shed structure with plenty of area for set up, the paddock was a little long regarding the grass but overall was peaceful.

What a stunning place to pull up, set up a tent or campervan, sit under the sky, the stars, on the soft grass. Admiring and taking in the views of the surrounding mountains, trees, horses, cows and bird life.
I loved this spot, it’s magical. Kerren and Mark are awesome hosts too!

Mike’s place is stunning. Well kept grounds with fire pits and buckets to extinguish. Soooo much space. There were two other families there at the same time as me but still had plenty of distance between us. Plenty of trees and shade but also big open spaces. I also had internet most of the stay. For part of the trip it’s a narrow dirt road to the property with a short, steep, rocky creek crossing to the gate, but it was all pretty easy for my Subaru Forester AWD. Before the dirt road you pass through the beautiful Megalong Valley rain forest.
The gem of the place for me was the gorgeous fern lined, crystal clear creek. I spent a big part of my time there (39 degree day!). If you walk it be careful because the rocks can be a bit wobbly and uneven. It was ankle to knee deep for most of it (that would change depending on rainfall). There is also a very boisterous lyrebird who mimics every bird in the forest and reminds me of the Roadrunner because it moves so fast. The fauna and flora are wonderful. Plenty of wrens, robins, roos and a big wombat hole/home. If you look closely there’s many different tiny little flowers and orchids around 5mm wide scattered throughout the grass. Loved this place!

A lovely spot to camp in! A blood pumping walk down into the valley (and back up again!) at the start of the six foot track. Lovely place to camp, a flowing river with water, we saw ducks, kangaroos and wallabies, and many signs of a wombat! Would definitely stay again

Absolutely gorgeous campsite, nothing better than a dip in the creek at the end of a long day exploring and then listening to it as you fall asleep. Site was clean and level with a fire circle, hot plate, fire bucket and bag of kindling, toilet was functional and stocked with paper. Definitely keen to return with the family, thanks Mike!

We had a great stay at the Joadja Gorge site last weekend. So much space and great set up with fire, log bench and some wood ready to burn. It was very private and peaceful, with all of the sites carefully spaced out in different areas. Leanne was very welcoming and helpful, making sure we knew where the beautiful lookouts and walks were located. We would definitely recommend and visit again!
