Beautiful location to camp under the pines, plenty of flat space for our large group to set up. Lots of firewood everywhere to forage which was a bonus. Mike was a fantastic host who greeted us on arrival. Only 10 minutes from the local town but still felt secluded. Beautiful drive. Highly recommend!

Beautiful spot for a break
We had a fun stay at Mike's. The site was shaded and had a lovely breeze, which was wonderful given there was a three day heatwave that coincided with our stay. We were very comfortable, the kids had a great time and it's fantastic to have access to a long-drop.

Mike’s place was quite scenic! Lots of trees and greenery. Toilet was a drop dunny, nothing fancy but we were more than happy to have it, it’s a luxury having any toilet at a site and it was clean one at that.
The following is not necessarily the host’s fault: we were told in advance we would be sharing the site with another group. The only issue is that they had a tonne of gear - 2 or 3 huge tents, a caravan, solar array, trailer and some other stuff - a really good set up but they had it spread across the majority of the flat area meaning we had to settle for pitching our tent underneath the pines on an angle. A pretty sketchy set up with the winds blowing the branches over our tent around. The flat area is also really the only area that sees sunshine so we spent majority of the time in shadows and freezing as we couldn’t light a fire due to fire restrictions - fair with the wind for sure.
This is not to say that we had a bad time or anything but more of a note that if there is a big group in the good spot you’re going to be a bit limited in what you can do.
Drive over to Thorpdale for a good pub feed at the Traveller’s Rest Hotel.

This is a great place! Very quiet and peaceful. Our dogs love it too. And you can have a walk along the road to see the mountains and trees and hear the beautiful birdsongs. Will definitely come here again!

Grass
Needs a good toilet and grass should be mowed.
