Site for which we had was absolutely amazing. It was on the lake and could hear the soft dappling of the tide at night time. The site was very well prepared, and a great pit fire with a grill which we used to cook. The view is absolutely stunning and the wildlife sounds are so relaxing. The highlight though has been Sally who has been amazingly communicative and generous about using her vegetable garden. Sally is a very lovely soul. We would never have known that there was a place like this in the world unless we booked through Hipcamp. And there is an amazing drive down Black fellows Road through an amazing beach side of Woodland… Four-wheel-drive only! This is our first time here it won’t be our last.

4 nights at Sunset Point

We camped with a 15' Sirocco van, on a large grassy area between stands of gum trees just below the front gate. It has a slope and is a bit rough but after trialling some spots we managed to get level. View of the lake was lovely and no other camps within sight so our 3 dogs could run free around us. There is a cottage about 50m away but the resident wasn't home when we stayed. Just enough sun to keep the solar charged. Sally and her dog were very friendly. 15 minutes drive to an off leash beach, which was empty. On the last day, our young dog spotted a snake and went to play with it, the biggest black snake I have ever seen. I normally enjoy seeing snakes but this encounter sent us rushing to Moruya vets with 2 dogs, luckily neither appear to have been bitten. The grass had been mown but the snake was still invisible to my eye until the dogs took chase. I know snakes are always around, we should have been more vigilant. Sunset from the other side of the ridge was stunning, over the water. About 2 min walk from our site
