Perfect mix of feeling very private amongst bush camping, while having the convenience of the showers, toilets and water. Kids loved the obstacle course through the bush and being able to have your own fire is great.

Great amenities! Hot showers, potable water fast flowing taps at each site, relatively quiet, great wifi included as well! Only negative, which may be Google Maps fault, the directions given sent me to a lovely couples farm. They pointed us down the road further around the bend to find the site.

It was very quiet when we went which was nice, clean facilities, the bouldering wall is cool. Playgrounds are not really suitable for little kids, but we found a great playground on google maps 6 mins drive away. Would recommend.

Overall it is great, however, the public camping sites here are close to the road, so if you are a light sleeper you will need earplugs.

The site condition is good. Toilet and shower are clean. We had a great day here. The only thing is our site is bit close to the main road. You might be waken up by the car passing in the middle of the night.

Campsite H - Enter Through Gate 9
Stumbled across this absolute gem while looking for a last minute spot to take my three kids (7,5,5) and I could not have been happier. Great little walks without even leaving the grounds, the facilities look like they haven’t even been used and we will 100% be back! Topped off by really great, super welcoming staff, we cannot recommend highly enough.

Absolutely gorgeous! so beautiful, quiet and campsite well spaced apart, could hardly hear or see the campers at the site next to us. camp showers and toilets we're genuinely the best camp showers i've ever seen! so many little trails around that connect to larger trails- kurth kiln walk. (Watch for snakes, READ THE SIGNS and stay on trails as theres mineshafts outside the adventure park property) Will be coming back every year

Great little spot for "beginners" and those with kids. The activities like the ninja warrior course and the bouldering wall were a big hit. Yes, the camp spots are relatively close to the road but it wasn't an issue after dark. Staff on site were extremely helpful and welcoming.
