All sites are non powered (welcome to bring your own generator), campfire friendly (pending local fire restrictions) and firewood is available. Rubbish facilities are available if required. Filtered rainwater is available. Sites are pet friendly. Guests will need to be self sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities but there is a dump point available on site. Enjoy relaxing by the creek, have a swim or try your hand at catching some fish. Local birdlife is abundant and you might even see the occasional wild peacock. Kangaroos and wallabies will likely come and say hello to you too. Pack a picnic and your camera and hike up to the top of the hill to experience the best views.
