Weekend Trip to Book A Paddock

Great spot to camp, some wood supplied for the fire pit and a cooking hot plate and tripod were great. It’s quiet and super private. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to The Stables On Knox

We had a wonderful stay at The Stables on Knox! We came to take maternity photos and the property was perfect – beautiful scenery, a cute cozy house, and lots of photogenic spots inside and out. The fireplace made it extra relaxing too 😊 Some things to note: the BBQ and pizza oven in the barn were quite dirty so we didn’t use them, and the coffee machine was broken. Also, we were woken up early by a possum scratching on the roof – a true country experience, but something to keep in mind if you’re a light sleeper! Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely recommend it!

Weekend Trip to Whispering Gums

Great spot Great hosts Perfect experience Highly recommend

Weekend Trip to Book A Paddock

Excellent site - went back for 2nd time. Cold and rainy for all 4 days this time, but this site was perfect for winter camping. Ground didn’t get soggy or muddy, and tall trees reduced the northerly wind quite well. Super helpful host!

Weekend Trip to Foxes Den

Such a peaceful camp spot — exactly what we needed for a relaxing break. Plenty of firewood provided, which made for some great nights around the fire. Communication was excellent from start to finish, making everything easy. Highly recommend if you're after a quiet spot and a good fire

Weekend Trip to Whispering Gums

Sues property was absolutely incredible! We will 110% be back to camp there! Everything was well maintained, it felt like camping in the middle of no where with a touch of luxury, but only a stones throw away from the pub. Great fire pit, cabin/hut to use with table and chairs, pots and pans and other bits and bobs. Picnic table and sink was great and used a lot! And the toilet was great! Easy to use and far enough away to not feel too close to camp, but not too far to get too. Fire pit next to the lake was serene, the birds and wildlife came to life after 5pm. Sue was so lovely, brought us some firewood and made sure we had everything we needed and was very communicative. Absolutely loved it!

3 nights at Tonimbuk Farm

We had a lovely time at Tonimbuk Farm, our hosts were accommodating and the views were beautiful. A countryside delight an hour from home

Weekend Trip to Mountain Flower Farm

Beautiful spot, very peaceful. The pooch loved it too. Tamara was very helpful and friendly when I arrived. Would definitely go back there

Weekend Trip to Whispering Gums

We had an amazing time camping at Susan and Chris’s beautiful property! Our group of 8, most of whom were first time campers, absolutely loved the experience. Susan and Chris were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay, which made it even more enjoyable. The facilities and amenities were excellent and made everything so comfortable. The whole setup was perfect for both seasoned campers and beginners. We’d definitely pitch our tents here again. Highly recommend this spot especially for anyone new to camping!

Weekend Trip to Nerrigundah contrée sauvage

Private site, no intrusion, welcoming host, all added to our experience which we thoroughly enjoyed. Flushing toilets a short stroll away were a bonus. The kids had fun running around and we even got on the boat and kayaks for a little while in the dam. The life jackets provided were very thoughtful, gave us peace of mind. Thank you Jana for your hospitality.

Weekend Trip to Tonimbuk Farm

We had a wonderful experience at this beautiful campsite! The location is stunning, with easy access and very clean, well-maintained sites. Rob and his wife are truly special hosts friendly, welcoming, and full of great energy. Their dogs, Max and Mali, are absolutely adorable and added such a warm, homey touch to our stay. We felt right at home and are already looking forward to coming back soon

Weekend Trip to By the Cathedral

Review is for Under the Gum, which is one of many sites. Site was quiet and spacious (was also only booking when visited) with plenty of kindling firewood around the site perimeter. Require some leveling. If I was to stay again I'd book By the Creek or Kangaroo Run as they have shrubs around to act a wind break, as Under the Gum is very exposed in windy conditions. Under the gum offers plenty of room and stay hooked up if just looking for an overnight stay.

2 nights at Reedy Creek Camping

Lovely quiet secluded spot on beautiful country overlooking dam. Loved our stay. A few cars go by on the nearby road but other than that it was very peaceful.

Weekend Trip to Book A Paddock

Beautiful campsite with vast space and full privacy. Flat grassy ground. Only 5 minute drive to town with full mobile coverage.

Weekend Trip to Reedy Creek Camping

Amazing and secluded camp site that was so easy. I'll be booking again in the future for sure.

Weekend Trip to Nerrigundah contrée sauvage

We loved the stay at Gunya flat, the site was very nice and quiet. Got lucky to see some kangaroos. Jana was really helpful and provided the directions very clearly.

Weekend Trip to Tonimbuk Farm

Upon arrival, we were met by Robert on a tractor who came to greet us with 3 friendly dogs in tow. There is a Welcome Sign with your names on it, therefore, directions are easy to see where you should be. There was even a campfire pit stocked up ready to go, along with a Starter Kit supplied. These things were a really lovely touch we thought. This spot is absolutely picturesque by the Dam and the pictures most definitely don't do it justice. It's a superb view to wake up to in the morning, sit by the sun in the day or by the campfire at night. After a chilly evening, we woke to a variety of birds singing in the morning, to the ducks frolicking in the water, even a platypus surfaced for a visit in front of the firepit to look at us. The whole experience was absolutely peaceful and relaxing. The Hosts are super friendly and go above and beyond what you'd normally see with Hosts, so that felt really special to us. We really look forward to returning with our two teens to go fishing in the Dam or to stay at the Creek Site to see how that one is. Thankyou Robert and Leanne. Bless!

Weekend Trip to Herbs Joint

Large barrel fire pit available to use. Plenty of space. Main road can be heard from site but not enough that it was loud or disturbed sleeping. Good place if you want somewhere convenient to set up for a night.

1 night at Book A Paddock

An amazing place to spend the night, away from the bustle of the city. Clear arrival instructions and Belinda was great to deal with. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to By the Cathedral

Fantastic spot and hope to be back again soon! Lots of space and a great view.
