Friendly and helpful host! Alana gave us loads of tips. The spot is quiet despite being next to a road. The horses and alpaca’s were so sweet across the road. The spot comes with a fire pit and secure gate with even ground and lovely grass

The location is so convenient. Easy access from the M1. Close to Pottsville and Hasting river mouth for SUP/fishing/surfing and general good time with young kids. And Byron is only 30 minutes down the road. Space away from other campers and of course beautiful grass everywhere!
