I really loved staying at the shearing shed. It was great to meet David and have a chat before I set up; the shed had heaps of things to look at talking about what they do there as a working sheep holding. I found it really interesting and loved the fact it’s a working shed so staying there is a bit like being a fly on the wall.. getting a sneak peek into how a sheep station works.
The opportunity to have a hot artesian water bath and watch the sunset was sublime. I really hope to visit here again. I highly recommend this camp spot.

I loved staying at the Lake Paddock camp site 2… the site is just beautiful, right on the lagoon, easily accessible in my 2WD station wagon. The baths are really something else, being able to bathe in aquifer water is really special, especially after a long drive. The bird life at the lagoon was spectacular. I highly recommend Sarah’s place and I hope to come back soon.

We loved our family stay at the shed shearing farm and will defentinley be back in future for such a unique exsperince!
David (Host) was very caring a accomadating during our stay and kept us informed with the weather.
The hot baths were amazing, nice to relax in while hearing, seing sheep and watching the sun go down was very refreshing after a long day travelling. There is a few goats that like to be around your camp site and are friendly.

We were the only campers there so the quiet was amazing. We could barely hear the highway when there was traffic on it, which was not often. The flies were a little aggravating but not too bad. The bathroom and shower was rustic but clean with lots of water.

We loved our time at Dunblane Station- Nickos camp.
Whilst it was very hot when we stayed there, it was still a great camp. Not far off the road but far enough that the road noise isn’t intrusive. Surrounded by grasslands and sheep, we had a very relaxing 3 days. To top it off the Fire Bath is amazing! We didn’t heat it up as the weather was so hot but it was very refreshing and enjoyable to sit I. The deep bath and watch the world go by.

We had an absolutely incredible time at Dunblane.
From welcoming messages giving clear directions for how to access our campsite and facilities to his arrival shortly after ours, David was a great host and actively involved my two young teenaged boys and I in some genuine farm work, helping him to sort his sheep into their yards.
After some pretty intensive labour we soaked our hard working bones in his deep artesian baths that had to be filled up in the afternoon to allow them time to cool for the evening - that’s how hot the artesian water is!
Not going to lie, the amenities - as is clearly stated from the outset - are not terribly appealing! We used our own toilet and shower. I wouldn’t recommend relying on those that are there, although they are available if need be. Best to go out fully self contained and just enjoy the genuine farm experience, the gorgeous sunset over David’s expansive land, and the relaxing hot baths at the end of the day.
We would do it all over again and will be back if we ever get the chance.

Great spot so close to town but you feel like you’re miles away. Not used to the sound of sheep so that was very cool. The fire tub is brilliant. What an amazing way to watch the sun go down. Thanks!

We loved the fact that no-one else was camped around us and having a soak in the tub has been a highlight of our lap.
The night sky was a bit cloudy at midnight but I still managed to get some great photos, including a colourful sunset.
The only thing needed is some shade for the afternoon sun. Because we did not have neighbours we were comfortable starting up the generator to allow us to run our air conditioning. Not everyone has this as a back up for hot days.
We would come back again, definitely in the cooler months.
