A GREAT WINTER CAMPING SPOT ! Gum Gully was the name of the gully where the original settlers met for local church worship under a large gum tree. This campsite is located Eastern Adelaide hills & adjacent to Lavender Federation Trail. Kangaroos can be seen at sunrise & at dusk.

Site 2 - Echidna Place
Moto camp
Easy booking. Great communication from host. We were a group of three motorcycle campers. Host was kind enough to negotiate some fire wood (at cost) based on the fact we are Moto camping. This was very considerate. The site was large and level. Great escape. Would recommend.

Site 6 - Kookaburra Gum
A private property allowed us to feel immersed in nature. Site 6 has a great tree line for privacy and weather protection. The ground has a slight slant (some areas better than others). The ground is hard dirt in some areas and very short grass in others. No rocks. A well signed walking trail takes you up a hill for a great vantage of the moon rising. Host was very responsive and prepared a great campsite

Site 4 - Possum Point
Had a fantastic time, the space is beautiful and we got a great view of the stars. Rob and Jo popped past to say hello and were lovely. Plenty of room, it is a slight slope so be prepared. Loads of hiking space around and the dog certainly has a blast too. Would 10/10 recommend and go again A bin and tap on site would be great ;)

Site 2 - Echidna Place
The most peaceful place. We were lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves. We had perfect weather as well. We would have liked to stay longer.
