Beautiful large private camp sites, all with access to Tyers River. Fruit trees site was a bit tricky to get to the river but some of the other sites were easier, however there trees provided great shade. Would suit large groups as the sites are all huge.
We loved our time here and the dogs had a ball.

Felt like a private slice of a fairytale, the land was beautiful and well kept- short grass in the main camp spot so no worries for snakes, paths thoughtfully cut through wild blackberry to lead you to more magical sights. Such friendly and thoughtful communication with Sam. Will definitely return :)

Group trip
Our group stayed Fri-Sun and it was a much needed break. The drive in was beautiful and Lisa & Bernie were easy to communicate with, from booking to leaving, if we needed something. We messed up a little and gave the toilet hire place the wrong site and our hosts were good enough to move it for us! Aside from that, the place itself was beautiful, spacious and peaceful. Falling asleep to the sounds of the Tyers River and then waking up to the birds in the morning.. Would 100% recommend ☺️
