We loved staying at the Butterscotch Bill camp-site. James was a great host and very accommodating. A fire pit was provided. The facilities were clean and very comfortable even in sub zero temperatures. The camp site had plenty of room around it and had been recently mown so was very pleasant to walk around. The stars at night are phenomenal and the silence was perfect. Just the murmur of the river in the distance. The kids loved the roos and emus nearby as well. We commuted to Perisher every day and it was easy to leave early to miss the traffic and come back to have a drink by the fire in the afternoon while the kids have a run around. I would highly recommend staying here. We will be back and will try and bring some other families as it is definitely a place worth sharing. Thankyou James for letting us share your place with you. Best regards Andrew

Lovely spot secluded outside Jindabyne! Nice little shower and toilet block there which feels like a little luxury when camping. When I went it was cold and windy, if camping at this time make sure you camp where you’re protected from the western weather. I really liked it here and I will definitely be back

Had a great stay here’s. Quiet and peaceful. It’s close enough to Jindabyne if you need any supplies. Our dog had a great time paddling in the river and just laying around. And there is also a few fish in the river!

We stayed at the riverside camp over a long weekend. Beautiful spot, very secluded, flat and grassy, directly on the river. Jim was a fantastic host, directions were spot on, and the property was easy to find. Note the entrance to the campsite is steep, and it’s dry weather only.

Such a great experience camping here! The bathroom and shower facilities are great - very clean with reliable hot water. The camping grounds were well-kept, quiet and scenic and a great location if you want to head into Mount Kosciusko national park. James is a very friendly host with a very cute dog. Would definitely recommend :)

James was a great host. Informative and hospitable. The Eagle Eye campsite was not really as private as expected. We walked down to the other site and it was beautiful, potentially a bit better for seclusion if you have the right rig to get in and out. Overall, our two nights here were good, and we’d recommend it as a stop over before taking on The Barry Way.
