Perfect location for a stopover with friendly hosts. Was a bit worried about the noise, as it was mentioned in other reviews, but it didn't keep me awake and I was close to the train track. Will return when I make the trip to Sydney again.

Stop over
Peter and Nadine stayed up late to show us the camp site as we came in quite late. It’s a great spot as a stop over on the way South. The highway noise isn’t too bother some. We’ll be back.

We stayed overnight, the hosts were accomodating with our later pull up and informative when we did so in the dark. The property is lovely, we’ll definitely have to book again for longer than a one nighter.

Too noisy and very disappointing
The land is nice and well-maintained. However, it’s extremely noisy, being right next to train tracks and a highway. One of the hosts, a lady, was quite rude to us. We had collected some fallen branches from the ground, chopped them, and started a fire. She approached us very aggressively, accusing us of stealing and stating that they sell wood for $25. We immediately apologized, explaining that we didn’t know, and even offered to pay. Despite this, she continued to behave aggressively. After we paid her in cash, she stormed off without offering to provide any additional wood for the payment. Overall, this experience was very disappointing. We won’t be coming back or recommending this place to others.
