Great access and Nice views.
A really nice place for a night or two or three. Easy drive to Buchan, Lakes Entrance and more. Excellent access to the river and fire swimming and fishing. The camp site is very nice and well maintained.

Great location for off grid fam
We took our family of 5, in our 22.1ft caravan off grid to Mike’s place. It was great! Perfect location, 15mins to lakes entrance, 30mins to Buchan Caves and 45mins to Bairnsdale. General store up the road has all the necessities. Water tap available which was great so we could top up our water tanks. Great surrounding area with public play ground for kids and tennis court. Our kids loved it! Thanks for having us :)

Pros: Mike is a great host and takes pride in his space. Cons: Very close to others, next to a major highway so quite noisy throughout the day and night. Water was high which meant lots of mosquitos and muddy smell.
