This site was amazing, gravel driveway and pad to set the van up on. Beautiful views and amazing sunsets, kids loved playing soccer in the paddock! Melinda was an excellent host, very responsive and easy to deal with. The site was a nice fit for our large 9m Ofroad van, simply reverse up the driveway to make setup easier. We would love to come back and visit one day!

Weekend Trip to Limestone Valley

What a great spot several hundred meters from the road right on a beautiful prehistoric river with loads of privacy all by ourselves. We parked our 21” van alongside the vacant farmers setup facing the creek and vegged out for a few days with the family and dogs. The views back on the Western Tiers are also stunning and made sunrise/sunset a great time to be outside. I’m surprised this is not more popular with close access so many small towns, National Parks and even Tasmazia. Would return!

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!

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.
