Finding the site was easy there's a sign visible from the road, we arrived late and it was dark and still managed fine. We were able to tow a jayco finch camper trailer into the site fairly easily, bigger caravans etc may struggle a little with clearance on either side. There was a firepit and plenty of dead dry wood around to burn. But unfortunately the site is just too awkwardly placed for me, you have the road in front of you (you can see/hear cars driving by but it was a quiet road at night) and the residents house behind you so it just felt like there wasn't really any privacy on either side, the residents didn't bother us at all and weren't noisy or anything like that. If being close to a road/a house doesn't bother you then this site would be fine, we just prefer a little more of a private site

Amongst The Gums Camping
My stay at The Gums met my needs at the time. The weather was not terribly kind :) I was left alone - no problems with other visitors or neighbours. Plenty of firewood. Walks to be had in the nearby state forest. Recommended if someone just needs a place to pitch a tent and chill for a while.

Very hard to find as the sign on the gate was unreadable. Good for an overnight or maybe a base to explore

The site was a little hard to find
Acees was a little difficult for large caravan more suited to small vans or camper trailers.
But we got in with taking it easily and slowly
Little disappointed that would have been nice to have met Karly to say hello

Quick and easy getaway where you are alone and can have a fire.
My car and van exactly 15m long and only had an inch or 2 spare getting down access track, but plenty of room once in.

The setting amongst the Gums was fantastic, the tree tops above the clearing that we camped in framed the night sky perfectly

Amongst The Gums Camping
Karly was very responsive to my questions prior to my camping on her land. The property was very private and comfortable. The property suited my needs as I used it as a base to get car repairs done at Ballarat. It was only 20 minutes from my mechanic in Ballarat. Karly was available during the time I was there and quickly answered any questions. Karly allowed my privacy whilst there and did not approach me but was easily contactable. The property was suitable for my small camper trailer and access was easy via the gps coordinates given. I would camp there again should I be in the area again.

Karly was really nice and her place was beautiful, my friends and I enjoyed our stay there. It was easy to locate and we had the whole place to ourselves. Thank you Karly!

Amongst The Gums Camping
Good place with lots of bush across the road to explore. The owners have a dog which got into the area. They’re big and friendly so no stress the owners came. The owners came and took care of him very quickly. I personally won’t go back because my grandparents live literally up the road however I do recommend this place for other people looking to get out in the bush for a couple nights.

Such a good spot with plenty of bush walking around. A nice quiet place, very easy to access. We had no trouble getting in or out in our little Honda Jazz even though it rained a little on the night. A really good open space to park and have the tents nice and spread out. Will go again!
