Beautiful quiet camping area in a valley setting. Good toilet facilities and lovely stream, though water level too shallow to really bathe/swim in (December). Tony was kind and friendly. Overall a lovely experience, would come back.

We stayed at the Ridge site and the view was amazing with far reaching views and at night plenty of stars! The elevated site had a nice breeze keeping us cool during the day and comfortable by the fire at night. At the lower sites there is a nice water way to explore.

Had a lovely stay - being greeted by Ralph the dog was a lovely welcome, Tony was a great host and super accomodating, even came down to check everything was going alright after the first night. Long drops were the flashiest we’d ever seen! 😂 10/10 would recommend to anyone for a quiet and relaxing get away.

Tony was super accomodating and showed us the track to the creekside camp sites. Unfortunately storms just before arrival and road tyres on the shark 6 meant I wasn’t confident to get back up the track. Tony allowed us to camp up the top with splendid views. Highly recommend.

Felt extremely welcomed by Tony who greeted us on arrival and escorted us to our site. The site itself was beautiful and we were lucky enough to get a site closest to the water, falling asleep to the sound of flowing water was lovely. The weather turned quickly on our day of departure and the track became tricky but Tony was amazing and gave us a hand. Thank you so much we will definitely be back.
