Stunning night skies if it is clear. Needed to spend some time levelling up the camper. Overall site not that flat. Power a bonus as long as you bring a long lead. Host instructions made it easy to find.

1 night at The Old Widden Schoolhouse

Fantastic quiet night. Great instructions. Perfect fireplace, and benefit of having 240v and a roof when a wild storm came through was appreciated. There is a pump or genset on across st the farms all night. Apart from that, no noise! Occasional horsey whinny and a few night birds. We spotlighted microbats. Saw lots of wombat evidence but no Wally. Nice chilly, start to the say, with a hill to the West. Drove further up the valley to walk over Reuben’s trail to Baerami: no go, it means we’d have to access via private property and neighbours at Baramul suggested kindly ‘it might not be wise’.. Thanks Clare we loved the schoolhouse. Esp the monkey bars!

Stevan’s hilltop camp was private and serene with a great outlook of the surrounding paddocks filled with animals. Stevan provided power and water that are accessible from the camp site. As it is set on a hill levelling is expected and we found the best spot was near where the previous camp fires has been.

The facilities, including the toilets and showers, were clean and well-maintained. It was great to have access to hot showers. As a tent user, I had asked in advance about the grass length, and it was nicely trimmed just as requested, which made our stay even more comfortable. The site was quiet and offered plenty of privacy. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with hardly anything to complain about. Highly recommended!

We loved this place! Located down the end of one way road and almost at the end of the valley, this property feels comfortably remote and secluded. And the facilities are excellent with power, hot showers, a verandah, plus a large fire pit in the middle of the patio and no shortage of firewood at hand. If you need to chill for a few days, this is an ideal spot. The access road is sealed and has very little traffic, leaving this ideal for cycling. The hills behind look great for hiking although we didn't get a chance to do that on this trip. But we are sure to return!

Lovely camping at the Old Widden School house. It's at the far end of a no through road, with not a lot of traffic, so very peaceful and quiet. We found a nice flat spot at the far end of the property, and the nature views were great. Electricity worked well and the shower and toilet facilities were lovely! Would recommend.
