Nice little place to stay, plenty of trees for a bit of privacy but also open if you wish to socialise. Communal kitchen has everything needed as well as the outdoor shower.

Awesome place. Quiet and relaxing, not far from shops and beach. Hosts are very responsive and accommodating, and also respect your privacy. Sites are private and have enough room to think you're there on your own. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Skippy Trails on Sippy

A really pleasant site. Plenty of room to spread out. Shade options are limited but that seems to be work in progress with small trees planted in appropriate areas but a few years off being useful for shade. Close to the highway but no noise heard. Instructions provided are comprehensive and comms with the owners was always prompt. Would definitely stay again.

Absolutely lovely spot right next to the dam. Light breeze most days. Space between campers. Maintained by wonderful hosts who weren't intrusive but did come down to check on us on occasion (we were here in the big supercell storm!) Couple of things to point out to future campers. Is there some machinery and stuff on the property like said in another review, yes. Does it effect your view and experience, NO. This is a working property, not a holiday resort. All equipment is with the owners main house and nowhere near the campsites. And also, bring mozzie spray. Like anywhere near water after dark the mozzies do come out as they always do. It also shares a fence with another hipcamp property next door so there are other ppl around but I don't think it effects your stay as everyone on both sides are respectful of their surroundings. All in all I think this was a gem to discover and we will definitely be booking again. Thanks Mitch n Hollie for their lovely hospitality n opening their home to us all.
