> It was nice to have a quiet spot to ourselves and have a fire. Lovely big trees and bird life. Thanks Richard

> We stayed over night on a rainy day. The setting would be nice on a drier day. There is plenty of tree coverage so solar recharges would be a problem. Make sure your batteries are fully charged before you arrive. We are a 21’6” caravan and Patrol. Our Overall length around 13metres. So, It was difficult getting into the site by threading through the trees with millimeters to spare. This site is suitable for tents, camper trailers and small caravans. The host was good and left us alone.

> Great little site nice and close to brisbane. My doggos and I had a relaxing time, despite the wet weather! Richard was a lovely host, very helpful and accommodating. The site is well kept, has plenty of firewood to collect and use in the firepit provided, and the birds and local wildlife were great companions. Great for a little get away, or even just to test your camping set up close to home if you are a beginner.

> What you want out of a campsite and you get to stay close to CBD Richmond. Bit hard to find (opposite of Scribbly gums). Neighbouring houses seemed a bit dodge
