Self-Contained Campground

92%
(12)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 8 · Vehicles under 7 m
These secluded campsites are located in a quiet paddock at the back of the property and are suited to fully self-contained campers. There is no access to the camp kitchen, and you’ll need to bring your own drinking water. A basic long-drop toilet, gas hot shower, and stainless steel sink with non-drinking water are available, but all campers must bring their own cooking equipment. The site is sloped at the top with flat areas at the bottom, and access is via grass only — 4WD is required, especially during or after rain. Please be mindful of children, as there is a hidden body of water in the bush behind the campground. Enjoy a cosy evening by the campfire (BYO firewood).
