Love sitting around the fire, star gazing.
Perhaps a little close to the gravel road, the dust was a bit annoying.

We had a fantastic stay at this campsite and absolutely loved it!
It was especially beautiful in spring, with plenty of grass around the campsite, but not so tall that it became difficult to walk or set up camp. There were also two lovely stone fire pits.
We didn’t get a chance to use them, but it was great to see that some basic cooking equipment and BBQ grills were provided as well.
The rainwater tank provided plenty of water, which was really convenient. As we were the only group staying there, we had a wonderful sense of privacy and really enjoyed having the whole place to ourselves.
The campsite is slightly close to the road, so occasionally when a larger vehicle passes, there can be a little dust. However, it’s not a main road and traffic was very infrequent, so this was really only a minor issue and certainly didn’t take away from our experience.
Overall, we were extremely happy with our stay. It’s a beautiful, peaceful and well-equipped campsite, and we would definitely love to come back again!

Perfect, will absolutely return!
Hands down one of the best camping spots we have ever stayed at! The site was spacious, flat, and perfectly shaded — super easy to set up tent or park the van. Hosts were friendly and helpful, check-in was seamless. Felt safe, relaxed.

We had a great stay here! The secluded location was fantastic, space to spread out and enjoy our time. It was great to have the large firepit and plenty of wood around the property keep us warm, as we had some terrible weather. If it is going to be very wet, I would recommend not setting up on the grassy section just before the shelter, as it became one big puddle. But that wouldn't generally be a problem and it was so good to have the shelter too!
The dogs also loved having all that space to run around (be mindful that there isn't a fence along the road, but wasn't a problem for us).
Lynette was great, communicated with us leading up to our trip to make sure we were all set and had everything we needed - which we did.
Thanks so much Lynette, we had a great weekend!

Lovely set up, so many extras. We had everything we needed but the shelter was a bonus. We had a relaxing night by the campfire. We were surprised there were so may flies this time of year, but still better than a busy caravan park. 😂

10/10 star viewing. Rarely disturbed by traffic or sounds.
Host is exceptional. Very considerate and contactable.
Flies are present. Gone by sundown..Mostly around shelter.

Tranquility and nature.
Tent · With pets
This spot is perfect for anyone wanting bush tranquility, it has plenty of space for large groups but also felt cosy for just the two of us. Apart from the occasional car going past you won't see another person, but you will hear some gorgeous bird calls, and see some gorgeous sunsets. The site is well laid out and maintained with several thoughtful touches including a sturdy table with benches, a water tank, a drop toilet (with a door that doesn't bang in the wind!) and an open shed for gear storage and cooking.
Directions and information provided was detailed and comprehensive, and speaking to Lynette was very pleasant at every step.
If you go for a wander in the scrub make sure you're good with directions, it's a large property and the bush does get dense. If you're a lover of plants keep an eye out for all the different types of lichen, so much colour of you're looking closely.
I've already recommended this spot to friends and we will absolutely be back.

Nice Long Weekend Stay

Nice spot to relax and unwind.
Large open area with plenty of options on which way to orient the van.
Friendly flies 😄
Little shelter with seating and battery to recharge devices a great touch.
Will try to get back in the cooler months to enjoy the nice fire pit.
Thanks Lynette.

Peaceful Campsite

Woodland campsite is a peaceful, secluded campsite with many thoughtful additions. The campsite was private but easy to locate and access.
We appreciated the two great firepits, a shelter with picnic table, toilet and plenty of space. An easy drive to the Murray River, Bowhill and beyond.
Booking and was so easy and informative, Lynette is a great host. Thanks Lynette, we will be back!

Camping under the stars

Loved our return trip to Woodland Scrub. There is something magical about this place at night. The stars were amazing on Saturday night!! Woodland Scrub is a great place to escape the busyness of life and get back to basics of bush camping. Being able to take our dogs is an added bonus.
This wasn’t our first trip and guaranteed won’t be our last.

The Campground is fantastic if you like to secluded. It's quiet and peaceful.
The shelter and some camping gear is an advantage. There is also a Kings solar battery to charge phones or plug in a fridge. We would definitely stay again as we liked the surclusion and peacefulness.

It was a great experience for us at Woodland Scrub.
We were on the road trip from Sydney to Adelaide and on the day 4. There was no internet connection, no view of nature but trees and red sand on the ground. But we liked this property was private and quiet. This campsite is a great spot for camper who spend time with someone who you love.
Doing campfire is available. Loved this place.
