This place is so beautiful, peaceful and if you really want to enjoy your stay far from the city, thats the place. We were literally surrounded by cows, every now and then coming to our tent, sniffing it and being friendly. That was awesome! I would definitely come back!

My partner and I loved camping at Fig Tree. We arrived in the dark but Jon’s directions were clear. It was beautiful waking up to cows and calf’s walking in a near by paddock, watching the fog clear, the sun hit the mountains and listening to the morning bird chorus. We requested firewood when we arrived and Jon was very attentive. Thankyou for letting us stay at your gorgeous, dreamy property.

Jon was a fantastic host. Very accommodating. This camp trip was with me and one of my kids. The view was amazing from up top, and my kid loved all the farm animals. Great place for kids. We also chose this spot because we wanted the 'hike-in' aspect, and it was perfect.

Fork in the Creek
We loved camping here! The creek was beautiful, the kids had a ball finding rocks and even some thunder eggs. Jon was a great host, super helpful and friendly. The ground was a bit wet when we were there and we got stuck but Jon got us out with the tractor. If its been wet I'd recommend a 4wd and some max tracks. We only got stuck because we were towing our camper, if you just had a small trailer or just the car you'd be fine with 4wd and tracks. But if you did get stuck Jon is super friendly and keen to help.

What a beautiful spot! Right on the creek, easy to find, some spotty reception to watch the footy by a campfire. Right in the gully of the high hills; stunning! The hosts had great communication aswell. Would recommend and would come back. 5/5

Amazing. This campsite is so quite, 360 degrees of stunning views. Falling asleep to the sound of a running creek after watching the milky away next to a fire.....

We loved our time at Caldera Creek Farm! Beautiful little spot tucked away in the mountains, perfect campsite right by the creek. Amazing trails to hike on the property - so good being able to explore with our dog! Very peaceful and quiet, hopefully we’ll have better weather next time to fully appreciate the rock pools in the creek.

What a stunning few days off grid next to the creek! We felt a million miles away and yet close enough for a drive to local small towns and natural attractions. The directions were very clear and communication with host was great. Thanks for a great stay!
