We loved our stay at Fig Tree! Super private and quiet spot and so so stunning! Thanks for having us Heather, we will definitely be back and are keen to check out some of the other sites on the property.
We loved camping at Fig Tree. The campsite was private, peaceful and beautiful with great views. Perfect if you love camping with dogs like we do, as there is heaps of room for them to run around and play without getting into to much mischief. Heather was not able to be there to guide us to the site, but gave us clear directions before our arrival.
The only thing we didn't like about the campsite was that it is on a slope. This would have been handy to note in the ad, so we could pack a better solution to level out our camper.
All in all, we had a great weekend escaping the big smoke and if you are looking for a camp where it's just you and nature, this is the one for you!
We loved this spot, would definitely return. It was so serene and quiet, easy to find and Heather was great to deal with. 100% recommend. We will be back a lot more during winter for sure!
We thoroughly enjoyed the secluded camp spot on Heather's property. It's the perfect place for peace and tranquility. The creek at the bottom of the hill was bubbling along and perfect for a cool off paddle, too.
Wasn’t able to end up attending the camp site, but heather was super understanding and an incredible host highly recommend this host and campsite
Beautiful spot and fantastic host.
The area is well maintained and I felt like I had plenty of privacy.
Could recommend Heather and Fig Tree camp more.
I loved my stay the campsite is in a lush green valley with views of the hills. Its a great set up with a fire pit and shadey tree. Its very private and peacefull pluss if you follow the atv trail up the hill it leads to a spectacular view of the mountain range and valley below,I recomend going late afternoon. The owner is lovely I just feel bad as I only stayed one night and they had to mow the entire drive in and pad just for me but i do apreciate will be back again.

I'm sorry that that happened to you, but it is a good example of the need to read ALL the instructions and rules. It is written in 3 places in the accomadation section, that "vans may need levelling". As was the rule that you were not to take wood from the property for your fire.
