Absolutely loved this camp site. Would definitely return. Views were amazing, the stars were spectacular and the hosts were super friendly and inviting! We were a little sad that pepper the emu wasn’t in the best mood (she was looking for a man friend)… but it was super cool to see her walking around the property. Would 100% stay again
