Poppys Dam paddock
We booked for 3 nights, left after 2. Poo (?horse) in an open paddock with not much shade.
Tractor rides are $40 per person so pretty expensive for a family to do...$40 for 10min pony ride.
Good if you plan on doing some horse riding in but probably a one night stay is enough

Overpriced
We were very disappointed with our stay. At $180 AUD per night, one would expect a certain standard for a camping site. The description mentioned access to water, but this turned out to be a single faucet on a building. When asked, one staff member wasn’t even sure if the water was safe for drinking.
The campsite itself had almost no shade, despite the photos giving the impression of more trees. There was only one toilet with a shower, located far from the camping area, which was highly inconvenient, especially with a small child. This toilet was shared with guests from the horse-riding tours, making it even less accessible. One toilet is simply not enough, and it was dirty and smelled bad.
There was also no place to wash dishes, which is a basic amenity for any camping site.
On the positive side, the view is beautiful, and the presence of the animals adds a nice touch. However, the price of $180 per night is outrageous for what you get.

Amazing place with great views of the valley! We got upgraded to the hill top and were so impressed. Margaret was lovely, super friendly and accommodating. Would absolutely return.

Great activities but not camping
Owners and staff were really lovely. Lots of activities and animals to see. Beautiful backdrop.
For camping, we were at the top and while it was flat, there were a few things that may be okay for some but was noticeable for our camping experience that we didn’t like compared to other camping grounds we have been to.
Lots of animal poo on the camping ground that you have to dodge and being close to the animal yard, we could smell the poo. We had brought an activity kit (cricket, volleyball, badminton etc) to play on the camping ground but couldn’t due to the scattered poo.
If you are expecting public amenities, be prepared to wait for the one toilet/shower, otherwise, you will need to use the portaloos. Portashowers were there but not useable.
Would consider coming there for the day to access their activities but not so much for camping.
