Nestled in nature, this campsite offers an escape with tranquil surroundings and friendly hosts. Families and kids can enjoy exploring the creeks, trails, and interacting with the local cows. Although some found the creek dry, the peace and privacy of the area, away from other campers, were appreciated. The hosts, Ryan and Kellie, are praised for their welcoming demeanor and helpfulness, ensuring guests feel at ease throughout their stay.

Very tranquil setting! Ryan and Kellie's place had everything for a peaceful stay. Kids loved the board games, the friendly cows and the walking track including the water hole. Directions to get to the camp were very helpful. Map of the property was sent to us prior to stay which helped immensely. Would definitely recommend 👌

Ryan is an absolute legend. Nothing was too much or too hard for him. Great host. Getting to the campsite was challenging with a caravan….. thank god for Ryan’s expertise. Once there, this place is nothing short of amazing. No other campers to seen or heard of unless you use the amenities. Not bad considering everyone else was camping on top of each other elsewhere over the Easter weekend. Fire pit, on point, fire wood ready and stacked next to the pit. Cows were friendly enough. Would be beautiful with running water in the creek but made the most of what was there. Thank you

This property is awesome. 2 families with 4 kids under 7. With no other campers in sight, The kids just roamed all day adventuring through the creeks and paddocks. No reception meant that adults were not tempted to pick up the phone that made 3.5 days feel like a week off work. Big thanks to Ryan. We have a 4WD (with stock tyres) and Jayco outback pop-top camper and we struggled to get up a couple of the hills on the property. This was due to a lot of rain the days before hand and the track being slippery. We ended up getting stuck on one of the hills. As friends of ours went to ask Ryan for a tow, we noticed I had punctured a tyre in one of the creeks crossing to get there. Now we were stuck on a hill, with a heavy camper trailer and needing to change a tyre. As I chocked all the wheels to stop the ute slipping, Ryan was straight under there in 6inches of mud placing the jack in position and started replacing the tyre. After replacing the tyre, he hooked up the snatch strap and towed us up the top towards our site. Ryan will be receiving a carton of beer from me next time we head out, hopefully with better tyres and a little less mud on the tracks.

Really lovely, lush and private property. Well kept is an understatement. Everything that was promised in the ad and more. We found heaps of natives like Illawarra plums, native lime trees and mushrooms galore. Creek running through was where we spent most our time. Thanks for having us. Appreciate it!!!!

𝐀𝐁𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐄 𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐄 & 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 Totally exceptional experience from initial enquiry to actual stay. Ryan & Kellie are amazing, sharing their slice of heaven and providing an abundance of information both before & during our stay! We dragged our 4x4 13ft Hybrid Van into the Red Cedar Camp area (make sure you have a capable van & tow tug if attempting this as parts of the track will require 4x4 capabilities). As we entered the track to our campsite we were totally blown away by the beauty of the forest canopy above us (forgot to take pics) and before us. A few creek crossings (photos don't do them justice) and then WOW, an opening that was our camp site right beside the creek and at the end of the track so no traffic travelling through ❤️ We are officially in love and will be back !!

Native Lime Camp
As I travelled along Mt Byron Rd I wondered if I’d gone too far but keep driving until you reach the very end and turn left. Be sure not to enter the private property with no trespassing signs on the gate. Once I arrived at my camp and met Ryan, I was taken aback at how private and quiet each camp site is. They have created a truly peaceful camp for everyone to enjoy, I didn’t once hear any other campers who were also staying at the property. The campsites are well shaded, cool and breezy even in the middle of Summer. I was self sufficient but Ryan & Kellie have now built shower and toilet facilities if needed. It was such a beautiful experience to wake in the morning surrounded by curious cows all peering into my tent and after a hike around the property, a swim in the refreshing crystal clear creek was much appreciated. I look forward to returning and exploring more of the surrounding hikes. Thank you Ryan & Kellie 😊

The cabin has its own little fenced yard so our dogs could be off leash. My husband and I stayed in the cabin with our family in tents beside the cabin. It was fantastic! The property is beautiful and the hosts were welcoming. The road in has a few creek crossings if it’s been raining. Thanks to Ryan and Kellie for sharing your piece of paradise.

Stunning drive into the camp-site along mostly dirt roads with a number of creek crossings. We needed to put the Navara into 4H in a couple of sections to get the camper trailer through but there wasn't anything too challenging. The camp-site itself was level, clean and mowed. Absolute privacy at the Red Cedar camp-site. Plenty of shade and right next to a seasonal creek which wasn't flowing however had a couple of deep waterholes which the dogs loved. Plenty to explore with a steep track leading off from the other side of the creek. Good size firepit with permanent tripod for cooking. We will definitely be back!

We all had a great time during our stay. We had the opportunity to 4X4 and hike around Ryan and Kellie’s property due to no campers. The kids had a blast and enjoyed interacting with the animals. Even got to see a family of deers wandering on the other side of the front gate. Thanks again and hopefully we’ll be back in the near future.

Great quiet secluded place, kids had a ball ages ranging from 2 to 12, played all day and all night without bothering anyone. Perfect for our families to get away, firepit was on point , scenery beautiful. Wouldn't recommend taking any big caravans, we had a 17ft jayco and only just managed to get in and out.
