We enjoyed the friendly atmosphere initiated by John. Lot's of room for us in the Main Camp. My 7.7m long Mitsubishi Rosa (bus to motorhome conversion) handled the interesting track in from the main road without any issues at all. I quite like this park and look forward to future camps there.

We loved the peace and tranquility of this place. You will never find a packed camping cause Wayne takes care of this land and the people that come here to rest in nature. Kitchen is fully equipped and bathroom are in great conditions. Rock pools are really close from here and I highly recommend to summit Mt. Walsh. Enjoy your stay as we did!!

A real bush camp but with the bonus of a toilet. Plenty of space to spread out. We went on a hike following the 4wd and dirt bike trails, with gorgeous views from the perfect vantage spots. No problems with access to the property. Will definitely be going back in the future

Beautiful views overlooking horse training complex & Mount Walsh. Camp site #2

The landscape and scenery at Big Rocks Bush Retreat is stunning. John and Lyn were very accommodating over our stay. Main Camp was the perfect base, with a huge firepit setup and even a space for a game of bush volleyball!

I enjoyed my experience at the camp. With the wide property it was easy to spread out and have your own space to enjoy and be peaceful. Bonus for having a toilet and a great communal space if needed.

Had the best time camping with friends and little ones. Our dogs were welcomed, and had the best adventure travelling with us. The stars were beautiful at night which made the experience even more wholesome. The farm animals around including the baby lambs and a friendly horse were a bonus.
