Located towards the bottom of the Lewana Valley, Base Camp offers majestic views of the wide open landscape above and the brook and ponds below.  The view of the ridge line climbing to over 300m elevation makes you want to climb up to the top to experience the views over the Blackwood. The open and exposed level site is most suitable for self-contained camp set ups with the ablution facilities located 250m away by the old barn.  The campground is not shaded which is perfect for solar panels however an awning of something to provide shade would be needed in summer months.

    A lovely campsite, secluded and nestled amongst the trees. The playground and farm animals were a hit with our young kids. A bit of a walk to the ablution block and kitchen, but they were clean and functional. We'll be back!
