Weekend Trip to The Gates of Heaven

Sandy’s Gates of Heaven truly lives up to its name. I was lucky enough to enjoy this beautiful property all to myself, and it was absolute bliss. The firepit added a perfect touch, and the trees sprinkled with soft lighting created a magical setting for stargazing and unwinding. Sandy was incredibly accommodating, and her attention to detail made the stay even more special. I couldn’t recommend this place more—already looking forward to my next visit!

The Gates of Heaven camp on private property is conveniently located only 10 minutes from the township of Sheffield. It is surrounded by thick bushland on a quiet road, which gives a feeling of solitude. The basic camper is provided with a fire pit, tables, chairs and seats, information sheets on the flora and fauna of the site and several options for parking and setting up camp. It was my first time solo camping, and this place worked well for me. Thanks Sandy!

Weekend Trip to The Gates of Heaven

We enjoyed the relaxed peacefulness of this camp spot. Surrounded by bush and bird sounds. The Camo is close to the road but was quiet still. The weather was beautiful while we were there so we didn't take the opportunity to make use of the fire pit area provided. We enjoyed a wander around the property and explored some of the tracks. The camp is just a short drive to Sheffield, Railton, Kimberly and even Mole Creek which would make it a great base to explore the sites around the area.

We loved the grassy camping area nestled among trees and ferns. It was a nice shady site for hot days. Water was available from the rainwater tanks and we had a wonderful evening around the firepit.
