Great spot and very private. Nice area to explore and do walking trips, dogs loved it. Unfortunatley could stay only 1 night instead of two due to really heavy rain (our set up is not that advanced…) But would book it again.

Loved camping here! Plenty of places to set up the tents and go exploring. The campsite area was clean and well maintained. There were great views of the ranges and surrounding hills. Also the owners were very kind and considerate with our last minute group changes making it very flexible to adjust our costs. Would definitely consider visiting again in the future!

Beautiful spot. Alive with wildlife. Could hear some local traffic and lots of planes, but that was not a deterrent. Great star gazing, lucky enough to see the ISS. Cozy space. Would definitely come back.

This is a lovely site. There is enough flat area for pitching 3 family tents and room to kick a ball. The view is stunning. The flushing toilet was a bonus for our 4 year old! The potable water, wood supply and fire barrel made packing to go away easier. The hosts are very friendly. The directions to the site are very clear. I highly recommend this site.

Peaceful spot in the valley with sugar gliders and waves of native birdlife coming through. Had a great time in this rustic spot. Loads of available firewood and I was amazed at the complete lack of flies and mozzies, so close to the big dam. Little doggo had a ball. Brilliant!!!
