Nice rolling hills to camp on, there are few flat spots and some on a slight slope. Plenty of space. Nothing significantly pretty about the place, but still nice countryside views. Area was tidy and mowed. Good amount of firewood for $25

I had a great stay and thank you to Russell and Alison for being so positive in opening up their property to motorcycle camping. I found a great spot to pitch my tent and it was nice to sit back and enjoy the afternoon, as well as the colour changes with the setting sun.

Our host was lovely and welcoming and the campsite was perfect. A lovely outlook of trees and open farmland. Peaceful with only the sounds of sheep and birds for company. We’ll definitely be keeping this one on our list of stays in future.

Great spot to stay off grid with 6-7 individual sites on the property. Some sites are close enough together that you could stay with a group but still have your own space. Only one other caravan there when we stayed so we were very secluded and couldn’t see them directly from our site. Good size long drop toilet area with motion lighting for night use. Very clean. Hosts were friendly though we rarely saw them. $25 for a decent size container of firewood delivered to our site seemed pretty reasonable. It’s a natural area, so the sites have a small slope and you might need some extra caravan levellers pending your setup and site. Easy drive to Clare and Burra. Our dogs loved the property’s dam! Our favourite Hip Camp so far. 😊

Gooses Pond is a lovely peaceful camp in a large paddock with spectacular views. Sites were well spaced, so quite private. There was a flushing toilet as well as an undercover area to use. Firewood is available to purchase and host Billie-Jo was so helpful and friendly.

Weekend Trip to Downhill Run Camping

The camp has incredible views, the site is flat so great for swags, a good size fire pit and even though the campsite is very open it is secluded . We had a couple of cars go past on the road from the the Southern camp but we couldn't see or hear them. It does pay to check weather forecast as it was unbelievably windy on day 2 and there is no escape from it on top of the hill. We used this day to drive the back rounds and see the counrty side and visit Eudunda and Robertstown. Both towns are pretty quiet but managed a beer at the Pub in Eudunda and had a picnic lunch in the little Park in Robertstown. We had our own porta potty and there was the perfect tree to position it behind. We took our own wood butToby , the host ,did leave us some for a cost of $30. We were able to use most of it but some logs a bit big so left it behind for the next campers....always good karma 😉 So even though we experienced 4seasons in 2 days ( it rained also 😅) we loved the camp site and highly recommend it. 😊

Fantastic camping spot ! First time here and would recommend to anyone. We really enjoyed our time amongst nature and beauty of the place.. it was peaceful and serene. We also enjoyed time in front of the fire at night. Lots of space to explore during the day, and we were grateful for the pit toilet. Thanks Russell and Alison for your beautiful place!

My wife and I came for a night away and were amazed by the huge open space! Was great to be able to see the hills, watch the helicopters come and go and even say hello to the cows. Great to see there was a functional toilet to use as we were camping in our swag (I would recommend maybe a light for inside the toilets when it’s dark). Great little shelter provided that we were lucky enough to use for the night to keep out the sun, as we just had our swag set up. Pet friendly was a bonus for us- the dog loved being able to adventure around! We’ll be back for sure, this place is a hidden gem. Thanks Billie-Jo!
