Took my 4 year old camping for a night at Mark's Land. Loved it. Had a fish and threw the yabby net in. A lovely dog came for a visit a couple of times. My daughter loved it.
Plenty of space. Nice and clean. We’ll be back for sure.

A mid week escape and we had the camping area to ourselves. Jem and Dale are wonderful hosts, engaging and more than helpful. The facilities are modern and spotless. The spot by the lakes edge offered awesome sunrises called in by the water birds. A great way to capture some peace and quiet.

We had a great stay camping by the lake. It gets beautiful morning sun and welcome shade in the afternoon, making it really comfortable throughout the day. The setting is peaceful and relaxing.
We saw plenty of birdlife and wildlife, including an echidna and kangaroos, which was a real highlight. Jemillia was responsive and very accommodating. We’d definitely stay again.

Such a great site where you feel in the middle of nature but you're actually so close to home.
The gazebo, chairs and table are really good to have and mean you can pack even lighter!
Our dog loved exploring the area and having a swim in the water.

This has got to be the most well looked-after property I have seen in any recent memory. Really - just so nice. We camped at Camp 1 and had lots of space to spread out. The lake was at our doorstep and a welcome escape from the heat. It’s very shallow with lots of vegetation so floating on the surface is the way to go!
The shower / toilet was amazing - spotless and real luxury for camping. We had a whole spectrum of weather and conditions and no real issues. It can get quite windy so def peg down your stuff securely. A great spot and will def come back. Thanks so much!

Beautiful property, access to the billabong is a little walk down the hill but not far. Great spot for large groups. Ground isnt very level for RTTs so bring something to help level if you need it. There was some old planks there for firewood that I used. When I booked it was forecast for 45 degrees so the owner agreed to refund one of the nights.

We had a fabulous Australia Day long weekend here. We had a great spot on the lake, fabulous friendly host and staff, 1.45hrs from home, beautifully maintained property, excellent facilities, in fact, the bathroom here is better than most hotels I've stayed in! Pet friendly upon request and so relaxing. We loved it so much we booked for Easter! Can't wait to come back.

We loved listening to the kookaburras and lyre birds; we enjoyed looking at the blackberries and taking the canoe out on the dam.
Jana’s farm and its location to Warburton and the mountain biking trails meant we had a fantastic weekend away.
