Thwarted by the Rains
Sadly our booking was just after the recent torrential rains and on arrival we discovered the driveway had been washed away and we were unable to get through to the campsite. Really felt for poor Julian as the damage won’t be fun to fix - the site looked idyllic and we were disappointed not to be there in better conditions. DEFINITELY recommend only coming in a 4WD as the driveway is rather rugged. Julian was lovely and helpful and we were lucky to find a camp spot on Lake St Clair - not as private but an absolutely stunning spot.

Unfortunately due to the weather our stay had to end three nights early. The site was beautiful, however, we felt that there was a lack of action on Julians behalf in ensuring that our stay was safe and enjoyable. The road to the campsite was not adequately described and after rain isn’t even 4WD accessible. As such, we had to leave three nights early in order to avoid getting stuck and only received a refund for one of those nights. This road and the site seemed to be poorly maintained and while Julian seemed lovely and was enthusiastic about the area he was not at all involved in effective maintenance of the site. A beautiful view and I’m sure with the right weather conditions it would have been a beautiful stay.

Beautiful spot, had the benefit of total isolation to enjoy the postcard view from the top paddock. The trail in would be a challenge unless you’ve got at least an AWD, especially if there’s been some rain. Julian was first class, on the phone checking with us making sure we were prepared and informed. If you’ve got the rig it’s a dream spot!

Quick weekend getaway with some friends. Fantastic view! Helpful and informative host. Secluded spot and very green after the wet week before hand. Lots of birds, frogs and even some fireflies. The route there was picuresque but make sure you have plenty of tread on the tyres or a 4wd if it has been raining.

The property and the views did not disappoint. We floating in the clouds. Even after all the rain we have had the drive up to our camping spots was a little and slippery. It was worth it. Thankyou to Julian we will be back again. Noelene family and friends

Magical spot
After travelling down the long drive which we were thankfull we had 4wds for we arrived at the location. It was dark which made it hard to understand what was what campsite. A bonus is mobile phone coverage. Nice to have a loo on site too. We woke up to find the view hidden in the clouds, it cleared up beautifully to show the great view.

THE VIEW IS TO DIE FOR !!!!
The view was amazing and awesome tracks to explore nearby. We were blessed with great weather. I was fortunate to meet the host Julian who was more than accommodating. The only negative was there is limited level sites available which Julian indicated he has arranged for some excavation work to improve the entry and level some sites. Apart from that, highly recommended.

Nice secluded spot
Nice little secluded spot, the stars at night were amazing. The driveway was not very well suited to our small 2WD, we managed to drive all the way down and back out again as it was dry. It would take a while if you had to park at the top and carry your stuff down :)

We’ll come again
We loved our stay at Imago Forest. Toilet was close to our campsite, and there was plenty of water available. The road is 4wd only in the wet. It was a lot of fun.

Beautiful and quiet
A beautiful quiet spot. Recommended as a minimum all wheel drive. 2wd is a bit of a push.

Very peaceful and private. The driveway is a challenge if it’s wet, especially if you haven’t got a 4WD.

Make sure you rise with the sun. You'll be treated to the most delightful orchestra of birds, and the most ridiculous view to boot. Enjoy. This place was a delight.

peaceful, relaxing, enjoyable
We highly recommend this site. It is gorgeous, with stunning views. The site is large, and set back from the road (via a 2km track). The site has stunning views of Lake St Clair. It is quite remote, but if you are after peace, quiet and relaxation then this is great. It is a short drive from some scenic walks and national parks.

Teepee - BYO tent
We loved our stay at Julian’s - beautiful landscape with amazing views, and it’s so peaceful. Our camping spot felt very private and secluded, even when there were others camping in a neighbouring site. Julian and his daughters were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We highly recommend camping here! Just watch out for ticks!

Imago forest is a very beautiful secluded property. Julian was great at responding to any questions that I had. We really enjoyed our time there and hope to go back again soon. We camped at Cherry Blossom and found the slope was not very noticeable when we were sleeping. Thanks!

Thanks Julian! What a great spot to break free of the camping restrictions. We enjoyed a great weekend on your lovely property. The kids loved the teepees and fort, we loved the view over the dam to the lake. Pretty special views from the yoilet too! Thanks :)

What a way to come out of hibernation lockdown. Our little family had a wonderful, if slightly cool trip up to Imago Forest. The views of the surrounding hillside and Lake St. Clair are definitely the cherry on top. Julian is a pleasure and we will definitely be returning.

Imago Forest is beautiful and has fantastic views. It is very quiet and great for walking and bird watching. The driveway is not suitable for wet weather and a trailer but is fine in the dry with a 4x4 vehicle. Camping site has a slope but can be used OK. Has a well set up compositing toilet.
