This is a fantastic space, a little piece of paradise. We had a great time, facilities could not have been better and the owners are very welcoming, helpful and friendly. Couldn't recommend this space more, they've got everything you need. The undercover area was perfect. Great for dogs and groups wanting a private space. Camping with added luxuries.

A well maintained site with fantastic facilities. The huge undercover area was fabulous during our stay as we had rain on and off and we were all able to gather together. The undercover fire place and pizza oven were also enjoyed. We brought along our inflatable SUP and Kayak and were able to use these in the river, however be mindful there is motorised watercraft using the river also. We had a really enjoyable stay with our family. (3 couples)

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.

Our stay at this campsite was truly special. Carol was the perfect host – welcoming, responsive, and there to greet us on arrival with a personal tour of the site. The location by the dam is wonderfully peaceful, with abundant birdlife that made for a relaxing atmosphere.
The real highlight was the unexpected bonus of the wallaby sanctuary. Being able to witness morning feeding time with Carol and Dee, seeing the orphaned joeys being cared for, was a privilege and something we won’t forget. The dedication and love these two put into caring for these little creatures is remarkable and inspiring.
This is more than just a campsite – it’s a place where conservation and hospitality come together beautifully. I hope more people discover and support this special place. Highly recommended!

We really loved camping on Brian and Sallys farm- the spot was totally private, beautiful scenery on the farm and surrounding area with lots to do, but most importantly it was very peaceful and amazing not having wifi/signal to totally unwind. Loved seeing lots of wildlife including wombats!
Both Sally and Brian were so welcoming and showed us around the hives and invited us in for a lovely chat!
Thank you for having us, we will be back!

A Nice Private tranquil spot.
Carol is a fantastic host. The land is immaculate, the facilities extremely well maintained.
As we were leaving she brought a baby joey over for the kids to see.
Don’t hesitate on this one. A short 1 hour and 45 minute drive for us from the northern beaches. You won’t be disappointed 👍
We camped but very tempted to try a cabin next time as they look great

A beautiful stay for anyone in need of a reset in the bush. Private campsites all with their own unique qualities, surrounded by the orchestra from the bush. We enjoyed exploring the nearby bush and caves dotted around the campsite and property. Brian and Sallly were also welcoming and accommodating hosts, who we chatted with and introduced us to their bees. We can't wait to come back. P.S. the honey is delicious

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!
