We took a group of friends here for their first camping experience. Lots of space, and the amenities (toilet, hot showers, communal kitchen) helped ease them in to the camping lifestyle. David and Michelle were such great and welcoming hosts and were very easy to communicate with. We definitely will come back and highly recommend this campsite

I had the chance to spend the night in a beautifully maintained and well-equipped tiny house! The welcome was warm, with reception located right at the entrance. The campground is stunning, surrounded by nature, and being so close to Adelaide is definitely a big plus. I was also impressed by the local wildlife, especially the birds. I even got to hear quite a few kookaburras, which was such a lovely experience!

It’s a wonderful little park with great toilet/shower facilities. There are lots of beautiful shady sites, but as we booked a week before our trip we were up the back on red dust/gravel. This was really unpleasant. It didn’t help that there was no shade and it was sweltering. 90% of sites were in nicer areas. There was a beautiful little cafe, playground and a pool with pool area. The park owners were wonderful to deal with and check in couldn’t have been easier. All in all it’s a fantastic little park close to Adelaide city.
