We loved tent camping at site 2. Leah met us as we arrived and was incredibly helpful in showing us where our site was and pointing out where the amenities were. We really appreciated how accomodating Leah was to our individual needs. Our camping setup is primitive, but Leah offered us more permanent shelter when a big storm rolled through during our stay. Use of the pool and interactions with the farm animals were added bonuses. We couldn't be more grateful and highly recommend that everyone stays here when visiting the region.

I absolutely loved camping at Ingenia! Highly recommend this unpowered site for anyone with an off-grid setup — perfect if you’ve got your own power and water sorted. It’s heaps cheaper than any accommodation in Wagga too. I stayed for five days and really enjoyed it. Fellow campers were super friendly, and the whole place has a relaxed, peaceful vibe — great if you’re after some peace of mind. The toilets and shower areas were clean and tidy, and there was no issue with hot water even when I showered late in the evening. I even locked up my caravan and headed out for the day — did that every day during my stay here — and each evening I came back to find everything just as I’d left it. Safe as!

Just stayed for one night, but want an awesome property. I had the place to myself , but there were a number of site options for me. I took “The Ridge” as it gave the most amazing view. Craig and Liz were great hosts, getting me in the correct driveway, showing me the amenities, and taking me down the property to the sites. The Valley views were amazing and the stars at night were so clear. I was fortunate ate to have such a clear night. Check was fine as I used the amenities after I packed up, and Craig and Liz came to check if all was good. Amazing property and awesome hosts. Highly reccomend

Craig and Liz were so accommodating! They arranged to meet us at the front gate and guide us to our site. We arrived many hours later than planned thanks to cranky kids and it was no problem for them to accommodate us. They were super welcoming and recommended the best site to suit our needs. It was the perfect quick stop on our roadtrip. I only wish we had arrived on time to have a little more time for relaxing in the beautiful location.

Don't know why people complain, it's a typical farm with a beautiful view, reasonable amenities like toilet and shower, if you want fancy go stay at a hotel, camping isn't for you. the host Craig was an absolute Gentleman, stressed if there's anything I need at all to just ask no matter how late or early, feel free to knock on the door to the main house and ask. Will be likely staying on my way back south, no complaints at all! Thanks for your hospitality Craig!
