Absolutely fantastic spot for the night! Views were amazing and the property was stunning. Heather was easy to communicate with and gave us really clear instructions. The sites were private and we had plenty of space! Would definitely stay here again

Great spot here with views of the ocean and the hills. Plenty of toilets around which was nice and the shower tree is very cool. You do have to bring your own water though but we came prepared.

Such a stunning spot and the shower tree was incredible. Sunset shower followed by a cold beer was absolute heaven. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful and checked in on us to see if we needed anything before we left. Would love to come back again someday.

Rugged and beautiful campsite set among ancient redgums, sunset was incredible, had a tree shower. It was summer so the flies and wind were part of the package but we loved it- we had the place to ourselves- very nice:)

I really enjoyed my stay at this campsite (no 5), it had plenty of space, nice bush views with emus and a nice tree shower and long drop. All well done. Heather was a great host, friendly and helpful.

I was in camp 5, with only 1 other camper visible off in the distance. The space looking down towards Port Augusta is huge. Unfortunately it was 32 degrees and extremely windy, and was not comfortable at all. Loads of flies. Luckily the big old gum tree provided shade. Any walks were out of the question. Once the wind dropped and the flies disappeared it was a pleasant spot to relax in. The sunset was beautiful.

Such a beautiful spot- my partner, pup and I, had the most relaxing time enjoying the stunning views and privacy of Camp 1. Would love to come back again with the family as there is so much space on each site, the long drops were clean as, and we’d like to explore the hiking further as it was quite hot by the time we peeled our bottoms of the camping chairs, and the snakes were out to play! Thanks again Heather 🙌🏽

What a great spot. Great hosts and an amazing outlook. Camp #5 is a neat bush setting and mountains in the background. Not far out of Port Augusta but you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere.

Helen saved me with a late check in as a national park campground nearby was unexpectedly closed.
She was quick to respond with a booking request. property is easy to find. super spacious sites, heaps of room between you and others. Toilets. Property is on a rise so has a nice sunset view. And the icing on the cake, bush shower under a tree. What a treat.

Absolutely stunning views, great secluded spot, lots of bird life to relax too. Wonderful hosts that went above and beyond for us. Close to Port Augusta if you need to go into a town but far enough away to for the peace! We will definitely visit again!!

Quiet, serene area among old gum trees. Loved the idea of the tree showers, but a bit too cold to try at the moment 😁

Camp 4 was lovely, nice little flat spot down by the toilet block to set up swags/tents. Heather was very approachable and helpful and it was a nice and private camp-site, just how we like it. Will definitely stay again, hopefully when the weather is better!
