We loved it here, so private and peaceful. Close by to lots of things to do around Heathcote but far enough away for some serenity. Thank you!

We had an amazing time at Vaughan’s beautiful camp site. We camped for 2 nights with the family & our 2 dogs who had a blast. We loved how private & beautiful the site was. Clean portaloo was a plus!!

Country sunset stargazing camp
This quite, private, large campsite near Heathcote is an amazing place to stay. Extremely close to local wine and gin distilleries making the perfect base for visiting thw local area. The site a clean toilet and drinking water if you need. The fire pit is amazing with crafty seating you can see in the photos. The site is level, well maintained and shady with the trees. As well as plenty of bird life. At night the sky lit up with stars true to the name. We will absolutly stay again!

We had a great family 2 night camp, gramps, son & 2 grandchildren in a camper & a tent. The key attractions for us were the enormous space, the shade, great fire pit with logs & picnic table. We never left the site - just explored, played soccer, and enjoyed the space.

Really good private camping area by some trees and a dam. Decent facilities with drinking water and a portable toilet available. A firepit with seating and picnic table compliment the space. Facilities were clean and tidy, and well looked after. This time, I camped alone, but would be so much fun with a small group, especially in the cooler months where you can use the firepit area. Thanks again!

We loved this campsite as it was a perfect getaway for our dogs. The clearing was mowed and clean. While cooking dinner in the fire pit, the evening sun was shaded by the trees.
Our dogs were able to roam free within the spacious site so we didn’t have to worry (too much). They enjoyed swimming in the little pond as well to cool off from the afternoon sun.

We had such a wonderful time away! The site is incredibly private, with no other campers to share the space with, which made it the perfect spot to truly relax. Our two dogs had so much room to explore and enjoy themselves, which made the trip even more enjoyable for all of us.
The amenities were a fantastic bonus. Having water on site and a porta loo made our stay really comfortable and convenient. The firepit area was lovely to sit around, and the extra logs and seats made it feel cosy and inviting. The picnic table was another great touch, giving us a perfect spot to sit, enjoy the views, and soak up the surroundings.
Thank you so much for hosting us. We had such a special stay and cannot wait to come back again!

This beautiful campsite boasts a large fire pit and a clean toilet. My dog thoroughly enjoyed the ample space to run around and even took a dip in the dam. I highly recommend this place.

So peaceful, you are really out in the country. The stars were out for us and the fire pit was roaring. Close to town and the lovely brewery. A perfect weekend.

Lovely, peaceful spot with good view. Site felt clean, spacious and private, and had plenty shade for our tent and swag. We enjoyed our three nights here, my son liked riding his bike around the field and climbing trees. The birdwatching was unexpectedly good thanks to the huge old tree in the middle of the site. I saw a new bird. Vaughan was friendly, helpful and thoughtful, even with a last minute request. I do recommend.

Absolutely wonderful experience! I’d been saving this spot for the right time (a dark sky night) and it was so worth it!
The first night was cloudy and rained for the first time in months, but then the 2nd was absolutely stunning. Worth the wait!
The site is fantastic, we camp with three dogs and there was so much room and privacy it was lovely. Drinking water provided too -such a nice touch. The grounds with the picnic table and the benches around the fire pit lovely too.
Can’t wait to come back with a couple more friends and a couple more dogs more amazing nights under the stars.
Also thank-you, thank-you , thank-you to Vaughan, who came out early in the morning to jump start my car when the battery died. What a gentleman I am so grateful!

Country sunset stargazing camp
Vaughan has been extremely helpful pre and post booking, answering any of my questions and concerns and replying back instantly -
The property itself is great, giant flat surface space - with the 1 gallons worth of water to use which is quite helpful and something we didn't have to stress about was a big plus and a clean toilet which is quite helpful too
It is about 7-10 mins from the nearest town incase you run out of food, but Vaughan being the legend himself offered to provide food so we don't have to travel out. We will be coming back soon :)
Thank you again for the amazing hospitality

Country sunset stargazing camp
Beautiful and isolated site with a 1000L supply of potable water, little swimming area for the dogs, and a surprising amount of shade given the very open feeling and beautiful views.
Vaughan didn't have a working loo when we went, but he was upfront about it as soon as we booked and offered a refund in case we didn't have our own. As it is, we do have one so this wasn't an issue and we had a lovely trip. The loo should be fixed soon so if you're reading this now to book then chances are it'll be all sorted.

We loved being here for a 3 night stay in the camper trailer. So much space and plenty of seclusion. Perfect place to look at the stars being so dark. Bike rides on dirt road outside were great.
Thank you very much Vaughan, you were very helpful, and dinner was great with the 10% discount voucher 😋

Lovely little spot.
Perfectly hidden away location with a combination of wide open spaces for the dogs to run around, and plenty of trees for shade.
Isolated away from all the main roads, but close enough to the town of Heathcote and surrounds to enjoy some local eateries and sightseeeing.
Vaughan was a lovely host, great communicator, very helpful and accomodating.
Highly recommend

Great private site. It was pretty flat between the trees which was great. Our shepherd loved the dam and had lots of room to for zoomies! It was quite windy the day we went and because of the open space it can get a bit too much. We'd love to come back, especially on a milder day!

Absolutely amazing spot, very private, plenty of space.
Easy to get into, we had a 19'6 van and had no issues, gravel roads going in but very easy and open.
Very generous with the firewood if you opt to get some. Can swim in the dam, surprisingly very deep too.
Blue Wren taxis can pick you up from the gate (book at least a day in advance) and the juniper lounge is a must if you like good food, music and gin.
We will be back for sure.
