Scott and his wife Linda were lovely and welcoming hosts on their camping and fishing property. Despite the rain, we managed to enjoy a firepit ($25 for a wheel barrow + firelighter) and trout fishing ($65 for 24h with 1 rod and 5 trout pellets on hooks provided - catch and release only). Their pond is heavily stocked with large trout which are very fun to catch on 6LB line! There are clean portaloos and gas BBQ facilities on the property. They even provided us with a bucket of hot soapy water to clean our dishes. Areas to park RVs are on gravel. No potable water, but water can be boiled for 3 mins before drinking. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Cradle Mountain and wanting a more 'off grid' experience. Lovely hospitality 5/5.

This is a fantastic campsite only 35 minute drive from cradle mountain visitors centre! The lady manning the site was wonderful, set us up with everything we needed and showed us the best place to pitch our tent! The hot shower was beautiful after a long day walking, and the small camp kitchen area was a nice place to take refuge from the cold of our tent! It had a couple plug sockets so you could change your phones or portable charger, a microwave, toaster, kettle, fridge and a table and chairs. There was an undercover outdoor bit too with a bench, bbq and pizza oven . The resident chicken Mrs.Chook was very sweet and friendly, she’s a vocal girl but loves pecking at your shoes bless her!
