Stunning views from our property at Silver Ridge. We have a wedding at times so the grounds are very well manicured...We like to caravan ourselves and are always looking for nice spots so we thought we'd open up our place to others.
Guests need to have own amenities so we welcome caravans and motorhomes with onboard amenities. Bring your own water.
Easy access and van parking in the bitumen carpark area. There is a lovely grassed area you can enjoy during the day (no vehicle access to the grassed area).
