Also road in a few x 3 large bumps but manageable

Slightly pricey at $120 almost 2/3 times other places we stayed
Scott was a lively host very kind

We stayed at Woodenhead for one night over the Australia Day weekend. Scott was very friendly and met us upon arrival, and showed us to our campsite, which was helpful. The campsite has lots of shade and trees, so it felt very private despite there being half a dozen other campers on the property. There is a rainwater tank on site that is available which we used for washing up etc. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would camp here again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The surrounding bushland was peaceful and beautiful. Friendly farm animals. The accommodation is simple but has everything you need, and the hosts are good communicators. House warmed up very quickly with the fire. Very nice sauna however the pond not accessible by the wharf as broken but you could get in from the side if you wanted. You can expect a few creepy crawlies given the setting. Thanks again!

Lisa and Lance are the perfect hosts and have the perfect property for getting away. We loved our time there. Private and secluded. Fire pits supplied and you feel like you’re completely hidden away. !!Secret Valley!! Only a short drive to some amazing beaches. They have sheep that love to chat and 2 beautiful horses to pat. We will be back!!

We had a great stay over New Year’s! The campground is very well maintained and has just a few sites, which made it feel private and peaceful, exactly what we were looking for. The location is perfect, just a short drive to beautiful beaches. Scott was super friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back!*

We spent a week at Lisa's hipcamp and it was excellent! Lisa was very communicative and helpful, particularly with directions for finding it the first time and showing us to site. The land is lovely, deep in the state forest with nothing to hear but birds and the occasional sheep. Sites are very far apart and private.
We went in a 21.6ft van - we made it but the track into the property and out can get very tight so would not recommend taking anything bigger, or even the same size if you're not super confident yet with your van.

Woodenhead is a fantastic place to stay. The location is great and the host was friendly, welcoming, and easy to communicate with, which made the whole experience seamless.
While there was some traffic noise, it honestly didn’t take away from the stay we still had a really comfortable night’s sleep and felt well rested.
Overall, a great spot that we’d happily stay at again.
