Long Weekend

Great site for camping on Tenterfield Creek, Paul is a great host slashed all the camping sites and provided a trailer load of good quality firewood that was more than enough for our stay, good directions and communicator and meet us at the gate on arrival, kayaks and canoes provided which was a bonus and our dogs loved the site.

Beautiful property, creek was awesome for swimming and dogs had a blast. Paul was great, prepared a trailer of firewood for us and let us be. Very private and quiet.

Beautiful, peaceful location. We enjoyed the abundant bird life along the creek. Recent rain has greened the grass, but very sad to see the land still in the grip of drought.
