There are 3 x 2WD camping options for caravans over 17ft or those not off road.
Depending on the type of vehicle and van will dictate your camping locations. Maximum caravan access for the rear of the property is 17ft off road van. This is due to the hill climb and a tight corner at the top.

There are two separate campsites on the hilltop, one at each end (out of sight from each other).
We also have two secluded bush campsites down the paddocks.
And there is a flat site, ideal for Caravans at the front of the property overlooking the escarpment.

It is extremely quiet and peaceful, yet less than a 15-minute drive to Crows Nest.
There is currently one long drop toilet located alongside the driveway, closest to the Kookaburra's Nest campsite. Otherwise camper's will have to be self sufficient.

Crows Nest Falls National Park
Ravensbourne National Park
Bullocky's Rest and creekside walk in Crows Nest
Crows Nest Museum
Cressbrook and Perseverance Dams
Muntapa Railway Tunnel towards Cooyar
Horse riding at Cowboy Up
French patisserie and other cafes in Crows Nest.
Also antique, boutique, and craft shops (the second-hand book store is my favourite!)
