Bindarah Downs is a lovely, quiet, rural setting perfect for our family camping trip. Shayne was very helpful and accommodating- great directions, explanations of the farm animals and walks and local area. Only a 15-20 min drive to Mt Barney NP hikes (including Lower Portals swimming hole). We camped right by the creek, which was running with beautiful clear water. No mozzies. Grounds well maintained. No toilets, so you need to be fully self contained.

Great spot! Lots of room and the fire pits are nice and big. Love the little communal hut. (I could seriously live in there by myself). Vily was lovely and everything was perfect!

We really enjoyed our stay at Vili’s beautiful property. The location is quiet and relaxing, with beautiful views and surrounded by national parks. Vili was a fantastic host, very welcoming and helpful, making us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The amenities were excellent, very clean showers and toilets, and even a sauna! A perfect spot for anyone looking to enjoy nature and unwind. Highly recommended.

This campsite is absolutely incredible. The scenery is beautiful, with private access to the mountain and trails that are perfect for exploring. The creek is stunning and easily one of our favorite parts of the stay. I had read a few previous reviews mentioning that accessing the creek was quite difficult, but that wasn’t our experience at all. We had our daughter and dog with us, and we found it very easy and safe to get down to the water.
The facilities honestly blew us away… wow for a campsite! There’s a kitchenette, clean bathrooms, hot showers, and pretty much everything you could possibly need. It felt more like a retreat than a typical campground. The grounds themselves are beautifully maintained, and the host was incredibly welcoming and friendly.
A special highlight was the kookaburras. You can feed them, and the hosts even provide the food, which was such a unique and memorable experience.
Overall, this place exceeded our expectations in every way. We will definitely be coming back again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special camping experience.

Shayne & Kim are incredibly welcoming hosts. The property is beautifully maintained and surrounded by a creek. Plenty of trees alongside the camping area to provide shade. Bags of firewood available are for sale to use in the many fire pits. Don’t forget to bring the carrots or Weet Bix for a treat for the horses. They love to come and say hi at the fence. We will definitely be back!
