Dam high side
Amazing views, but not that private
Very convenient location, close to buxton and the rivers nearby. AMAZING view. Worth noting, that the Dam High Side sites are very exposed, with all shrubs/canopy to the southern/western sides of the site. It is also definitely the most crowded Hipcamp we have stayed at over the past couple of years (it was a long weekend so I'm sure other weekends are likely quieter) with everyone being in the one paddock (see pic) so the 3 Dam High sites are about 60m from the 'under the gum' site at their closest point. The Dam Highside sites are also the closest to the road so there was a lot of traffic with our neighbouring campers going in and out, as well as going past the site to walk down to the dam. Everyone was lovely, but it's just something to note especially with your dogs wanting to say hello to everyone passing and keeping the kids off the access track which wasn't far from our setup. If you're looking for a quieter weekend away from the crowds, perhaps book the other sites over the long weekends.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful scenery and close to some amazing country towns with plenty of activities to offer.

By the creek
Very well laid out sites. Super spacious, yet very private, nestled in amongst the shrubs and trees, and far away from Maroondah Highway to only occasionally pick up the noise of a passing truck. Otherwise, it’s just the friendly sound of birds!

Under the gum
Our stay at By the Cathedral was exactly what we were looking for - big views, good value and nicely mown camping area (we didn't have to worry about snakes with our toddler). Great for any self contained camper.

Helpful hosts with some great tips for the area. The view was beautiful and a nice secluded spot.
