Our property is located in Canuda, the terrain is hilly with several clear, flat spots good for camping. The entire 33 acres is available for you to explore on a nature walk. The property also has a bath with a hand pump from which you can pump beautiful clear drinking water. There may be some fine particles in the water which will settle or can be filtered out.
There are a number of good camping locations near the bath. Any clear area within the boundary is available to camp in.
Being a declared scrub block it is undisturbed and both brown and tiger snakes are present but if you leave them alone they will mind their own business.
Small fires are permitted, only where a fire ring exists and out of fire ban season. Check listing details for more information. Gas fires and BBQ are not permitted during total fireban.
The Canunda National Park is only a 4km drive from the property and has plenty of stunning beaches and beautiful walks you can enjoy. It is also a popular fishing spot and has some great 4WD tracks to explore.

The campsites were very well set out, large areas would be able to get large rigs in and out easily. Firepits provided in some of the sites.
Directions were clear and easy to follow. Great place to stay that’s only a few minutes to town and attractions in Mt Gambier. We felt safe leaving van there whilst we explored around. Would highly recommend. Also there was the cutest highland cow that the kids loved giving a pat.

We had a lovely stay at Pine Ridge! Host had great communication, providing easy instructions to find the property. The camp area is one large paddock divided by hay bale wall. This offered great privacy, and we felt cozy even with a number of other campers there. Great location, would absolutely stay again!

Absolutely loved our stay! A beautiful, private spot that felt peaceful and special. Brendon was fantastic- so friendly and communicative, and even came by to kindly chop wood for us to use at night, which was incredibly appreciated. He also took the time to show us the walks around his property, which made the stay even more memorable. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it.

I would 100% recommend Pine ridge. It was a great clean and neat site. Very accessible, flat and large sites. Natasha was super helpful and responsive. We had a group of 5 cars and 2 trailers but there was plenty of place on site white. Extra points for the super cute Highland cow.
