The crisp country air is abundant with wildlife, creating a picturesque and serene atmosphere. Our property offers a variety of camping sites, each with its own unique charm and appeal. We also warmly welcome responsible k9 owners, making sure your furry friends are also able to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Guests must be fully self contained with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste with them on departure.

I was so impressed with the sites natural beauty and privacy. Access to a running creek and surrounded by some amazing wildlife, it was the perfect getaway with a fire pit and a million stars to count.

Relaxing long weekend
8 m travel trailer · With pets ·
This was our second visit to Anna and Steve property and this time we were on site 2 with heaps of flat areas to set up and two good size fire pits with plenty of firewood to use. The site had plenty of shady trees and a little stroll down to the creek. Anna greeted us on arrival and was very welcoming then left us to enjoy there beautiful property for the long weekend. We all definitely will be back another time.

We stayed at site 2 with 4 caravans 2 tents & 2 roof tops. There was still heaps of room. The ground was nice and flat, area clean. Recycle bin was provided. A nice size fire pit. It’s a little walk to the water hole. It was lovely to relax in on a hot day. Our 8 dogs loved it. The cicadas were loud as mentioned in a review but only for an hour then they went away. It was a private relaxing spot and we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful creekside farm
5 m pop-up camper · With kids ·
Our family of 4 enjoyed a long weekend stay and would definitely recommend Higgins to other campers. We stayed in our Jayco Expanda caravan and had no issues accessing the site which was open and level. Swimming and exploring the creek was lovely on a hot day, make sure to bring reef shoes though as the submerged rocks are slippery. In the afternoons we were invited up so the kids could help feed the animals and the hosts were kind enough to share some of their tasty home grown fruits and veggies. We visited the nearby town of Killarney which had some great art and a park for the kids, the local coffee shop also makes a great coffee. Our kids are very much looking forward to coming back!

Cicadas are deafening!
10 m pop-up camper · Group trip ·
We booked a 4 night stay here and left after the first night. If you enjoy a peaceful and relaxing camping trip, be warned the cicadas will make this impossible! From 4.30am to late at night, the noise level was near deafening, having to shout at each other to communicate and making our dogs all very restless and anxious. The creek is also too shallow to kayak in with the host informing us that kayaking is available at the dam 20 mins away. We won’t be returning.
