The camp was in a convenient location and the host was pleasant
Improvements could be made to the appearance of the property as there were a lot of car bodies and junk lying around.
Maybe also the excavator could be used within work hours and not at 8pm at night.

Camping at Darren’s was beautiful. Darren is a lovely guy and very helpful. The camp site is central to everything you could possibly want to see in the McLaren vale.
Great views with beautiful sunsets looking out over the ocean.

The couple of days we stayed at Darren's place was so peaceful and quiet. Great position to wineries and McLaren Vale township.
Loved the view of the ocean and Darren was a great host. Very down to earth and happy to help. Will be back again!

Great host and great views. Finding a level site can be a bit difficult but I believe the host is working on that.

Perfect escape from the crowds of the coastal camping and caravan parks! We arrived on Boxing Day and were greeted by Darren who showed us to a flat spot with a gorgeous view that was a bit more protected from the 30km/h westerly winds! We had a peaceful night sleep and even a warm shower for a donation. Highly recommend this stop for exploring the McLaren Vale and surrounding coastal towns. Cheers Darren for the hospitality!

Thanks to Darren for a great stay. Beautiful views, close to Port Noralunga for snorkelling, McLaren Vale wineries just around the corner, and not far to drive to the Adelaide Hills either.

We absolutely loved our stay here! we stayed with our two kids. location is great and so close to everything form breweries to wineries, coast and more and had beautiful views over the national park and ocean.
Darren was a fabulous host and checked in daily to see how we were going and offered advice on what to check out in the area. He even took us up to his place to look at a koala grazing in a tree. Thanks again for the stay Darren!

Sad to say goodbye. This place was more than I expected. Absolutely beautiful property over looking the National park and town. Darren is a fantastic host. Very responsive and accommodating. Whether you enjoy hiking, biking or wine, this is the place for you. It’s very central to the coast and wineries. Best part is doggos are welcome. You may even get a cheeky visit from resident dog Trigger the black staffy, who is super friendly - people and dogs! This place even has a horse float shower over looking the National park!

Cracking spot with great views over the national park and ocean. Very secluded spot amongst the wineries, and only a few mins to the beach/town. Darren is a great host. Highly recommend

We loved our stay! Incredible view all the way out to the ocean with plenty of space for a number of vans. Great wineries and beaches only 10 minutes away! Darren is a great guy that went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome at his place. We stayed four nights with two young kids but could easily have stayed a lot longer!

The views from the camp area were magnificent and pretty at night time. There were plenty of sites to choose to set up and nice and clean. The shower (in the horse float) was a bonus and very warm once the gas was sorted. Would definitely come back again.

Loved our stay on the hillside overlooking the coast. Amazing views and sunsets. Darren was a great host and very easy to deal with. Don't worry if you don't have levelling ramps as Darren has timber sleeper off-cuts available to help level your rig. Easy access to McLaren Vale wineries and the local beaches.

Beautiful sunset every single night overlooking the city and rolling hills. Only thing is that the ground is very unlevel and takes a bit of work to level a big rig like our 22ft van. Although once level awesome spot, we spent a week exploring the area and enjoying the town. Darren is a lovely host who spends time checking daily that you have everything you need, including potable water too!
