Blossom Lane Caravan /RV Site

Booked 9 times
RV site · Sleeps 8 · Vehicles under 32 m
Adjacent to our fruit orchard and a close walk to our loo, this unpowered elevated site is supported by a vast raised pad and looks down into the valley and the creek. Perfect for caravans, this site is huge at about 6 x 14 metres usable space and about a one minute walk down hill to the toilet and to the camp kitchen. There's room to stay hitched on to your car if you prefer or park adjacent to your van. We're still top dressing the pad so no grass yet and it’s rocky in patches - so for now, bring your ground sheet mats and folding chairs to enjoy the view. You will see the sun set against the cliffs which rise up on the other side of the bubbling creek and you may well spot sulfur crested cockatoos, magpies, parrots and even occasionally yellow tailed black cockatoos enjoying the many river red gums on the farmstay. Note that our sheep are freely grazing across the property - so don't be surprised to see a fluffy friend or two. This site is suitable for camper trailers, camper vans and caravans large and small.

Overflow caravan sites: near sheds

100%
(2)
RV site · Sleeps 8 · Vehicles under 8 m
These overflow caravan sites are adjacent to the parking area and our private shed. The sites are level and they're all weather sites unaffected by the level of the creek. One is on cement, the other on dirt. Still with nice views but closer to our infrastructure and amenities. Note there are some building materials stored around the place such as corrugated iron and this may be a hazard for young kids. Suitable for vans up to 5m long (on concrete) and 8m long on the dirt.
