What we loved:
- beautiful, lush grass, large flat area with heaps of room to run around, kick a ball etc.
- great little fire pit with grill, was so relaxing to look up at the stars by a fire.
- our kids (and adults) loved patting all the horses, was a highlight of our trip (for a couple of city kids 😅) and there were always loads of kangaroos and cicadas (noise warning) which was loads of fun for the kids.
- owners were lovely, we had a few chats while they fed the nearby horses
- close to basically anything you could need. Just over 10min from Woolies/aldi etc., not far from beaches, 2 min from servos, coffee, a small truck stop style fruit market.
What wasn't our fav?
- we didn't realise how major the road was. There was road noise all night (although it didn't bother my sleep too much, only the serenity). Also didn't feel as secluded as we had anticipated but that's on us for not really knowing the area
- unfortunately we were alerted on arrival there was no water, we had been anticipating water so we didn't have any sort of container with us to have the hosts fill (they did offer!) so we did have to buy water and scrimp which was an unexpected hiccup for us
Tip: google maps for some reason takes you the total wrong place. Just look at the pic on hipcamp and pin it yourself and go there
We had a lovely easter weekend at Bella park.
We saw many beautiful horses. Kids love feeding them.
The host helped us clean the camping site before we get there. So plenty of space and with no horse manures where we put the camps.
