A camp ground right next to the creek, surrounded by the most beautiful trees, a sauna with spa with a walk to a waterfall 90min there and back. Lars and his team are the friendliest most accommodating people you could ever meet. What more could you want from a camp ground? It was the perfect place for my friend's bridal blessing and we are all already talking about a redo.

lovely location but unfortunately we needed to leave due to issues with council consent for a hip camp in the upper portion of the site. everything was so well thought out and considered , hope they get this matter resolved so the location can be enjoyed. The site instructions and emails and booking =s should be much clearer or campers should be met on site and directed to the relevant location for camping.

Overnight stay. Clean amenities with hot showers and flushing toilets (on a septic). There are two undercover areas. One has a sink for washing up and kettle. But no gas BBQ but fire pits are available. Half the campground was closed for camping but you could walk through it for the creek walk

This stay didn’t go how we thought it would. No one was around for check-in, two campers were already set up, but one was in the area we were told not to go, and the other in the area we thought we were supposed to be (100m in from the front gate, but no clear signage), but the father camper was very frustrated we had invaded “their” space. At 5pm the ride on mower started and kept going until just before 8pm, that’s when the whipper snipping (in the dark mind you) started. Before light had gone down my wife had just begun walking up to the amenities when a small car with about 3 young shirtless men sped past, coming up onto the gravel pitch and away from the big dips in that are in the road, spraying dust and gravel up in the air, as if they hadn’t even seen my wife. They sped all the way up into the hill, by then another camper had arrived and they just stood there flabbergasted that not only is someone speeding right past their two young kids in the camp, but sprayed dust up and had us all coughing. Several cars that were not apart of the camp went up and down from the far trees and through the camp at all hours of the night, at least one every hour. The relocatable buildings looked super trashy and gave the camp an unsafe feel. The toilet walls had poop smeared on them. It is such a shame that small things that could be improved with so much ease have not been seen to, as this space has enormous potential to be the oasis it is supposed to be. $60+/night is robbery.

The stay at campsite 2 was what we wanted. It was quiet and peceful. We loved the trees and rainforest plants as well as listening to the birdlife and the creek. We stayed for 2 nights joined by different travelers each night. They were pleasant and did their own thing. The amenities were clean and more than adequate. Hosts were helpful. Would go back.

Beautiful property and super responsive and friendly host, we got there at 8:30pm and left super early the next day, so unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy the property during daylight. Very close to rivers and the surrounding national park. Great facilities to have a hot shower after a long day and loved that the shower gel was provided. We did have an uncomfortable encounter with another camper when we asked politely if they could keep their dog away from our car (we were far away and our dog was restrained, but she is a rescue and so wanted to keep some space from off-lead dogs). Totally get that this is a dog-friendly camp ground, but it’s still courtesy to respect other’s space. The guy was rude and made us feel so unwelcome. Totally not a reflection of the property though, just the only reason why we didn’t feel settled near them and why we left without saying hello! Thanks for having us!

This place is a little slice of paradise! The most stunning views, quiet, waking up to a chorus of bird song, it was beautiful. Wish the top camp was open by the creek and I must warn it is 30mins to the closest anything which isn't an issue if you looking for a break away from life. Would 100% go back again!

Overall this is a very clean and well set up camp site, toilets and showers are that of a big 4 which was great for us with kids. Hosts are very helpful and accomodating. Campsite 1 is currently closed but looks fantastic. Campsite 2 is fairly small in comparison and campers were in close proximity. The creek in this space is pretty average and the waterfall shown is a 1hr rock hop up the valley. Overall not what we were after but thats just us.

The powered campsite was not very nice. It was right next to 3 big demountable buildings which were gross. The main lovely campsite was closed, which wasn’t advertised, so we ended up using a random unpowered spot which was nicer than the other area. Definitely felt like the photos showed the nicer campsite or at least didn’t show the reality of the site we had booked. Disappointing after travelling a fair way.
