Room with a view.
Fantastic View from the Site. Stayed during the week and was the only one there. Highly Recommend. Peter was an absolute legend and always good for a chat

Tranquil Mountain Haven
The host's communication and directions to the site were crystal clear. Although I didn't have an extensive chat with the host, my camp mate did and praised him as a top bloke. He came across as friendly and accommodating, allowing me to arrive late and offering helpful recommendations. The dirt road to the lower campground required some skill for 2WD vehicles, but it's manageable and nothing too bad. The drive in and out though was simply stunning! The campsite follows a choose-your-own-adventure style, and we opted for the upper campground, which proved to be wonderfully tranquil and secluded. We didn't hear a single other soul.
The spacious layout of the upper campground was serene, and we also ventured to the lower campground by foot to catch the stunning morning hues. Despite the absence of a sunrise view, the pink and purple hues, along with the shadow playing over the mountains, were breathtaking. I can only imagine the spectacular sunset this spot offers.
Yet, the ultimate gem was beyond the gate up from the bitumen, as the host had hinted. A brief 10-minute walk unveiled a tiny opening revealing a panoramic 180-degree view of the entire ridgeline—an utterly breathtaking sight. I'm already planning to return and set up a chair there; the tranquility is unmatched!
I'm certain I'll revisit this beautiful spot at some point; those mountain vistas are truly captivating, and the hospitality of the host makes this spot a lovely getaway from the daily grind.

We stayed 7 nights at this spot, and it was incredible! You have two options of spots (the lower or the higher campground). We stayed on the lower campground, because the view of the mountains there is amazing! It’s quite overgrown on the upper campground however you can still see sections of the mountains (upper level is best for bigger groups)
We had zero issues, Peter the host was very accommodating, lots of wildlife around, able to collect firewood from around the property, and the trip into town (and toilets) is only 15 minutes.
This spot is perfect for a few nights to get in to nature and just look out at the mountains
10/10 would stay again
Thanks!

Great views! Close to Mt Maroon for a day hike. Take earplugs for the early morning rooster alarm clock!

Amazing views!
An absolutely amazing spot. Stayed in top of the Ridge and loved every moment of it. Breathtaking views, plenty of fire wood and an abundance of wildlife.
We stayed for 3 nights with 3 young children and they had a blast. Definitely a spot you have to check out 👌
