Bryton Wood Campsite

We loved this site. It was clean level ground and close to town. It was quiet and there was good space between fellow campers. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Definitely consider this site as it is close to all sightseeing places. Thank you Toni and Bryan.

Easy spot to pull up for a night.

Very easy going hosts. Great location to have a base camp from while you explore the surrounding area. May have been due to the time of year, but the dry, cut grass was unfriendly to bare feet. I would recommend bringing a tarp for the ground if you have little ones. Other wise really good and easy spot to pull up to.

Easily accessible and a great spot!

Loved staying here. Close enough to everything you could need or want to do, but also far enough out of the way to still feel like you’re camping. The hosts were accommodating and welcoming. Will definitely be recommending and camping here again next time.

Great spot aside from local

This site is great location if wanting to explore Mt Gambier and surrounds. Only 30 minutes to the beach and 10 minutes to Mt Gambier. We unfortunately chose the wrong side to set up our van and were right next the driveway and there were a few cars coming and going, so best to stick to the right side also some trees there for shade. Whilst our overall time here was pleasant, the 2am wake up call of someone stopping in the driveway right next to our van and then proceeding to scream as loud as they could waking us, our dogs and every dog in the area was not appreciated. Our host were aware of some people “arriving late and would ask they be quiet”. This was not the case and I don’t see how this sort of behaviour will hold this otherwise convenient and lovely spot in stead in the future.

TOP LOCATION, quiet, friendly.

Was a great spot easy to find location, short drive out of Mt Gambier. Quiet, plenty of space. Easy communication with Bryan. and Toni. Well kept grounds, would recommend this spot. Plan on staying back here again on our way back through. So much to see in this gem of a place that’s all with in 15-20min drive. River, beach, caves.
