2 nights at Whispering Gums

A beautiful and peaceful spot. Susan was a fantastic host, thoughtful, kind and responsive. I was even gifted some homemade chilli jam and eggs. I spent 2 nights here just cooking on the fire, watching the wildlife by the pond including a wide variety of bird life and a fox. The set up has everything you need- camp toilet, mud kitchen, table and chairs and even a hut to have shelter in the rain. Plenty of fallen kindling to be collected if needed. Will return to explore some of the walking tracks. So nice to be able to have a solo getaway and not have to share the campsite with anyone, but feel totally safe. Just a short drive into town. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Mansfield Lakeside Holiday Park

We had a blast tent camping at the Mansfield Lake campground with power, including our furry babies (Polly and coco) Booking was a breeze, and the customer service was top-notch. From the Hicamp website to the host, everyone was super helpful. The bathrooms and restrooms were spotless, and the hot water was a huge bonus! We also loved watching the sunset over the beautiful lake. We're definitely coming back.

We loved the feeling of space and calm at Tinkadale Farm. Beautiful green grass stretched out all around us, with a picturesque backdrop of trees and mountains... a great place to relax and unwind. Couldn't resist a visit to the resident goats and their little kids in their own penned-off section of the property - very entertaining! But the unexpected highlight was watching a mother koala with a bubby on her back climb down a tree, sprint across the grass and climb up another tree just behind our van... Soooo special and cute!

Weekend Trip to Whispering Gums

Whispering Gums is such a lovely campsite! Great facilities, there is a camp kitchen and hut in case you need to get out of the elements. Sue and Chris are amazing hosts and we were lucky to meet Sue's horse Amy (and Banjo and the 3 cows) Having the whole site to yourself makes it a wonderful experience and made it super easy for our dogs. Would highly recommend.

We had a great weekend away at Whispering Gums. Host Sue was lovely and really helpful - she came to our rescue when we had a camper trailer malfunction and made the stay fantastic. Great site, we loved morning coffee overlooking the dam, and the campfire and mud kitchen were useful. The portaloo was very handy and Sue was quick and efficient with the changeover when needed. It was lovely to meet Amy the horse and have a walk over the beautiful property to admire the cows and the view. Thanks for the enjoyable stay Sue, we hope to be back!

Host Sue, was extremely kind and generous. The love she has for her place shows. As a group of 3 families we felt very welcomed and had everything we needed. The addition of the toilet set up (and change overs) were greatly appreciated with kids in tow. We loved the back drop of rolling hills and the space for the dogs to run around. Highlight for the kids was definitely getting to see and ride Amy, the horse. Just magical.
