Very dangerous after rainfall
Lovely guy that runs it, but wasn’t given the best directions on the way up, and it’s far too dangerous after the rain. Anything above the very first spot is sketchy at best, heavy muddy rocky landslides and thin dirt roads near cliff edges without many options to turn around make it incredibly unsafe after any rainfall. I can imagine it would be a lovely site when dry, but I damaged my car and nearly lost it off a cliff on the way past the initial site due to the signage being on the floor. Was a very scary experience to be quite honest, I got stuck up the second hill in a AWD and had to reverse down - Unless you have a serious off-road vehicle, I would avoid this campsite. I’m sure the sunset view would be lovey but even in a capable vehicle it’s a sketchy and challenging drive up. Two other English girls said the same thing to me and decided to camp elsewhere.
Hannah's Hilltop (Upper campsite)
Walk before you drive up the Hill!!
Do not proceed past the first camp without walking up the hill to see if your car will make it. Booked this an hour prior to arriving and received message from Ben with instructions on where to go upon arrival.
We were in a Toyota Landcruiser so thought it would be fine to get to the upper camps. Bad mistake as we started to slip and if we had of stalled would more than likely slid back down the hill or off the side. We JUST made it. Extremely dangerous and we were lucky it didn’t rain overnight as we would have been potentially stuck up there until it cleared as it would have been to slippery to descend
Very disappointed that there was no warning prior to ascending the hill. There’s no way we would have gone up there if we had of walked it first.
Great view once up there but the stress/risk far outweighed anything positive
Lower campsite (Ridgeline)
Good views and convenient
Great instant book option as I booked at 9pm and was able to get to the site by 10.30pm. Dint use the toilets so can't comment. A decent spot with no other campers.

Lower campsite (Ridgeline)
Difficult access, but great view!
Overall we had a great time at this campsite, especially with seeing the sunset from the top of the mountain in our tent! A 4WD vehicle and brave driver may be needed to traverse the top, but we had minimal baggage and just made it into a hike. Ben was a great host if you need anything during your stay.

Lower campsite (Ridgeline)
We stayed at the lower campsite and it had the best view! Very spacious area and the owner was so helpful!

We have a large caravan and the bottom site was perfect for us. The walk up the hill was interesting but didn’t get to see the high up sites. Would recommend for our hybrid towing friends, it was a steep slippery road!
