Easy access into site, private and peaceful. Amenities were clean and well thought out, nice personal touches in bathroom. Host stopped into to run as through how the gas shower worked, he was friendly and polite and gave us handy directions for our travels. Would recommend to anyone passing through or for a trip away.

A lovely area that was great for the pup and I to spend the night. Not too far off the highway and easy to get to. Wish the weather was slightly nicer and I may have gone for a dip

Wonderful open area with plenty of options along the riverbend. Fishing difficult due to snags but we definitely gave it a good crack. Very steep decent down to river camping area. We had heavy caravan and luckily dry weather allowed us to get out ok. Also an awesome winery 🍷 2 mins away.

Property was beautiful. Access through the property was well sign posted. We stayed at the lagoon where there was slow moving water for the kids to play in and fast water for fishing and adult fishing. Be warned the GPS dot for the lagoon of used in Google maps will direct you to the north side of the river and the camp-site is on the south side of the river. All in all looking forward to camping here again with friends.
