Stayed at The Spot 2 which was great. Spot 1 is a good distance away and there are a few trees in the way. There isn’t as much level ground as spot 1 but enough for a car and a couple of tents. I mean true flat ground but plenty of slight incline space. The site is well maintained with plenty of fire wood to gather. Beautiful sunsets, camp fire raging and food in your belly. What more do you want? Oh a stunning gorge to go and sit by for hours in total peace? Well, it’s got that too! I recommend getting up early and seeing it full to the brim with mist. Truly magical.
Leanne came down to say hello and goodbye on the Sunday and she was lovely and really nice to chat to. Lots of future plans for the property and lots of work that has been done since the last time I stayed. Will be back as soon as I can. Just GORGEous.

What an amazing spot! Our kids (8 and 4 yo) said this was their favorite camping trip to date - and we’ve done a lot! Highlights from them were: feeding the animals each day and the beautiful swimming holes we found on our bushwalks. Highlights from the adults: not having to pack a mountain of camping gear, rocking up to a set up campsite and access to a bathroom/kitchenette. Melissa was so hopeful and took extra time and care showing the boys how to feed the animals each day. We were all sad to leave but we promised the kids we’ll be back! Thanks for a wonderful, relaxing stay!

Really beautiful spot. Peaceful and quiet, it was great to go for a little walk and see the space open up over the dam and across the range. Even with a bit of rain and the cloud cover it was a lovely spot to go to recharge away from everything. The clouds cleared up a bit at the start of the night and it was great to see the stars with no light pollution. Definitely recommend, regardless of weather, it's a camp worth going to.
