Country hospitality at its finest
6 m travel trailer · With pets ·
Kangaroo Downs (BYO Amenities)
We arrived to a beautifully mowed site (6) The sites are huge & spread out offering tons of space & solitude There had been quite a lot of rain & this came with its own set of challenges, but we were ably helped out by Michael’s lovely parents who quickly came to our aid. Communication with Michael was seamless We thoroughly enjoyed our two nights here spent enjoying the peace & quiet of staying amongst nature. Kangaroos hopped by, birds were plentiful. Bring the bug spray The stars were amazing & we felt as tho we totally recharged our batteries. Really hope to return in the future , maybe with friends. Thank you for your wonderful country hospitality. I’ll be sure to check the weather forecast beforehand next time

Greeted with an extremely friendly welcome, the owners were more than helpful the entire stay and good for a pleasant chat. The stay was absolutely peaceful with the most unique bird and frog calls that we have ever heard. On occasion you could hear the cows gently mooing in the paddock. Beautiful stay.

We enjoyed our stay on the 4WD side of the camp. The sites are very spacious and well kept. Sites are private with a mixture of shade and sun. Lot's of wildlife around and under a 20 minute drive to the beach. Would happily camp here again.

Relaxing night stay

The Kangaroo Lair (BYO Amenities)
Loved this site (site 6) we were under a beautiful big tree. Absolutely relaxing. Highly recommended for a stay over or even a couple of days if your looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing. Cows come past and kangaroos to watch eat and hop past. Our 3 year old loved to the space to ride his bike and play around.

Our friends chose the spot. We would prefer to be near water. The place was great besides that. Really needed our mosquito protection though. The areas to camp were nicely cleared and marked well. Instructions to get there were great 👍.

We had a camper trailer and our friends had a tent. Perfect spot! Quiet and peaceful. Mozzies were in force so bring repellant. So much firewood available to gather in the bush. Amazing fire and perfect long weekend.

Great private location just off the Motorway. Kangaroos + campfire + cows in the morning = good vibes under the gum trees. Cheersn

Great little camp spot and convenient for a stop over on the way up and down the coast. Quiet and private camp sites in between the trees. Will definitely stay there again.

We booked in late and Michael was very accommodating. He even met us at the gate. It was a rainy day but it was still beautiful and peaceful. Watching the Kangaroos and listen to the birds in the morning was a bliss. Can definitely recommend.

Lovely setting in the paddock with Mick’s cows. Right by the creek and dam. Had some fun crossing the causeway onto the site - worth it to have a peaceful and relaxing few days.
