Absolutely loved it great place to stay, we stayed in Belah camp and what a gem we camped on the top site and got such amazing views of mungo NP. The top hut camping entrance and camp was easy to find and well signed.
The camps are large, clean and tidy very well set out. Amazing spot to see sunrise and sunset. Out in the open so stargazing was great.
Will definitely be back

Enjoyed the privacy and quiet at this spot. Close to Main Camp at Mungo but far enough away to feel like we pretty much had our own private spot.

We absolutely loved our stay at Top Hut Station (WILGA)! 🌌 The huge private space gave us all the peace and quiet we were hoping for, and the night sky was full of stars—a truly magical experience.
The location is beautiful and serene, and best of all, it’s literally on the doorstep of Lake Mungo National Park with very easy access. Perfect for anyone wanting to explore the area without the hassle of long drives.
We’re definitely coming back 100%—this place is a hidden gem and a fantastic base for discovering the wonders of the region.

Excellent location so close to all the main locations around Mungo National park. BELAH site was massive and felt very private.

Absolutely loved the privacy and spaciousness of Tom's little slice of heaven.
There was plenty of firewood to be gathered and a fire pit supplied.
The area had been well respected and looked after.
A beautiful secluded spot with ample room. We absolutely adored our stay here and would definitely stay here again. Thank you Tom

We loved our stay at Belah! Tim was a great host and happily accommodated our last minute change of plans.
The camp-site is big and flat with a huge fire pit in the middle. A short walk up the adjacent rise offers breathtaking views of the sunrise over Lake Mungo.
We didn't stay long enough in the area, when we come back, we will stay at Belah.
Thanks Tom.

Great location close to Mungo Lodge but very private - each booked camp spot at Top Hut is private and you have the space to yourself. Thomas dropped over to make sure we had everything we needed. Big fire pit and room for a group if thats how your travelling.

A simple private set up, huge open skies, lots of birds and the odd goat. Staying here was lovely and Tom was very friendly. Literally on the doorstep of Lake Mungo National Park with very easy access. Highly recommended.

Lovely area, we did have loud neighbours hooning on there dirt bikes which broke the serenity but besides that a great site. Happy to pay the extra money for a more secluded site compared to across the road. Just watch the feral cat and midnight goat visits. The fire pits where a great addition too

We loved our stop at the Pines, it was very private and peaceful. The area was large enough to park several vans. Tom called by to check we were OK. It was lovely to have a chat and understand about his farm. Mungo National Park is a must do.
