Weekend Trip to Mount Surround Campground

I camped in the unpowered section, there is plenty of room to feel like you are there by yourself, the road in is flat and good for 2wd’s Magpie Geese, Wallabies and a beautiful sunrise over the lake….

We love camping at Cathy's place. It's perfect for a few nights of quiet, low-key camping. The facilities are basic but very well-maintained and the site is well kept, clean and tidy.

I spent 1 night here with my family. The camp is big, so lot of space between each camper which allow privacy. Dylan who welcomed us was super friendly and very helpful. We saw a lot of wallabies all around, our kids loved it. Electricity and water work great. Toilets and shower are also meeting expectations. We did not use kitchen equipment, however it looked a bit messy and it old.

I booked an unpowered site for two nights away from the main group. It was extremely peaceful and quiet. At night there was the expected random noise from other guests but once that settled, I was left with the sound of the rain and the wildlife. Perfect stay. Thank you Cathy and Wayne.
