This Hipcamp honestly took our breath away. The view alone is incredible, and the beautiful white flowers around the property made the whole place feel extra special the moment we arrived. It was really easy to find and access, and the location itself was peaceful and quiet — exactly what we were hoping for. When we pulled in, we saw a little kid feeding the horses and it was honestly the cutest, most wholesome welcome ever. The horses were gorgeous, and the amenities were spotless. The hot shower was perfect, and having a laundry available felt like such a luxury while camping. Our dog had the best time exploring the space, and we’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a calm, scenic getaway. Would absolutely stay again.

There was plenty of camp fire wood also . It's in the property a bit but a good gravel track . Kay met us on the road and lead us there nice hosts.

This spot was perfect for us. Kay and Steve were absolutely amazing with communication and ensured everything was okay for our stay. The river was great to spend time by and loved just watching the wild goats traversing the rocky ravines. The stay was thoroughly relaxing and peaceful to just be out in hills with nature and escape everyday busy life for a while. Would highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves the solitude when camping or even as a group that just wants a private space to spend together. We certainly plan to return.

A love warm welcome by Kay, and a heap of interaction before arrival, to ensure a successful check in. We got an upgrade to a beautifully stunning and very secluded spot, and Kay gave us a personal escort to the site. Definitely recommend a 4WD and off road trailer to get the the farmer wants a wife site if your booking there (the dam site, not quite as essential). So very worth it, though and sad to only have it as a stopover on the way to our final destination. Highly recommend if you are keen to get completely off the grid, away from any human noise and get back to nature.
