We loved our stay overlooking the stunning lake, green hills and grazing horses! We loved that Sandy was so welcoming but also loved that we had so much space and peace to ourselves.
We sadly didn’t catch any bass this time but we will definitely be back to try our luck again soon!

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!

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

We had a fantastic stay at Two Shores Holiday Village and would absolutely come back again.
It’s a smaller, quieter park which we actually really appreciated. While there isn’t a huge amount of structured activities for kids, the pool more than made up for it — it was beautiful, clean, and easily the highlight of our stay.
The amenities block was spotless and looked recently renovated, which made a big difference. Everything felt well cared for and maintained.
We were originally allocated a site that would’ve been a squeeze for our very large tent (8x6m), but the owners were incredibly helpful and moved us to Site 10 without any fuss. That site was perfect — spacious, easy to access, and ideal for a big setup.
Friendly management, great facilities, and a relaxing atmosphere. We’d happily recommend it to others and will definitely be back!

An awesome stay. Beautiful, spacious, and very private — exactly what we were looking for. The setting was calm and relaxing, with plenty of room for the kids to explore and enjoy nature.
The neighbour was incredibly kind and welcoming. Our dogs played together and had plenty of space to run around, and the kids loved walking through the trees and exploring. We were also kindly offered a swim in the pool, which was a lovely gesture.
Directions were clear, and communication with the owner was excellent from start to finish. A truly relaxing and family-friendly stay — we really enjoyed our time here and would happily return.

Total luxury whether camping, caravanning or in a cabin. Must experience this relaxing, rejuvenating, and inspiring place. Best caravan site in over 4 years of our travels.
Beautiful gardens, inviting pool, modern clean amenities, quirky and attention to detail. Not far to beaches, Hunter Valley, national parks and walking trails.
Dee and Carol are wonderful, friendly and generous hosts, thank you for creating this wonderful oasis for everyone to enjoy.
Don’t get me started on the Joeys…..they are rescued by Dee and Carol and it’s a privilege to be able to feed them their bottles and see them on the grounds rehabilitated.
Don’t miss the opportunity to stay here-we will definitely be back. Highly recommend.
