Just had my first solo camping trip at Cheriton Bush Camp, and what a lovely place!
For a solo female camper, there’s a coded gate, which made me feel quite safe. The campsite has toilets, multiple playgrounds, several walking tracks, and a dam. I even spotted a few little roos hopping away!
Most interestingly, there was a magpie couple hanging around me both day and night 😂 We were both a little scared and curious about each other.
I was also lucky that when I had trouble setting up my fire, a dad with his three girls came over and helped me. It was such a relief—not only because they helped me with the fire, but also because I realised I wasn’t the only human in the dark 😂
A pretty memorable first solo camping experience!
