Please read the whole listing, lots to tell you about us. Campsites 1 is large and can accommodate two vans and 2 - 3 tents (or 14 -16 people).

Our group of 4 loved our experience at Thornbridge. Site 3 was perfect tucked away at the end of the track, plenty of firewood and so helpful to have the fire water topped up daily. Thank you Stewart and Gayle for having us!

Site 2 next to Fig Tree Gully.

A peaceful setting tucked away on the back of a farm, away from the busy public camp sites of King Valley. Only 20mins drive to the King Valley brewery and local wineries, it's a great option for a group to setup a private camp and relax for the weekend. A shoutout to Stewart and Gayle who were great hosts, checking on our needs each day and also greatful for the water top up when our tank got a bit low. Look forward to coming back again in the future.

Cosy Site 3, best for 1 - 6 people

The camp site was ideal (although not very flat). Lots of birds which added to the relaxing mood of my trip. Generous site spacing and well maintained toilet were wonderful features of the site. I hope to go back soon and enjoy a relaxing weekend of chilling out and enjoying nature. Plenty of firewood around which made the nightly fires easy to organise. Wonderful friendly hosts (Stewart / Gayle) - very welcoming!
