Lots of space, wildlife and farm animals, and a lovely common area with some games. We had a great stay !

Wonderful, as always! The bush shower is an amazing addition. We strung up some fairy lights to extend the magic. The kids loved it, we loved it. Such a beautiful place with such lovely hosts - thanks John & Lyn!

John and Lyn’s land feels peaceful, spacious, and very well cared for. What really stood out was the quiet natural setting and the sense of privacy—you feel properly immersed in nature rather than in a crowded campground. The hosts are warm, welcoming, and respectful of your space, which makes the stay comfortable and relaxed. It’s a great spot if you’re looking to unwind, enjoy the outdoors, and experience genuine hospitality. Enjoyed a nice hike in the morning.
There are quite a few nice trails for walking, strolling, or hiking.
John gave us a nice tour around the property.
We would love to go there again and spend more than a couple of days next time.
It was the best way to start the new year and I really needed it after working the busiest time of the year.
The best way to recharge and really appreciate the serenity.
Thank you, John.

We had the most beautiful stay at Big Rocks Hip Camp for New Year's Eve. Peaceful, spacious and genuinely special, it’s one of those places that instantly helps you exhale.
The setting is beautiful – quiet and natural so you feel immersed in nature without feeling crowded. It was ideal for our kids, who had space to explore and just be kids, and equally perfect for our dogs, who were very much living their best lives. 🐕🌿
John and Lyn are the kind of hosts that make a great place exceptional – warm, welcoming, incredibly accommodating, and clearly passionate about sharing their little slice of the world. Nothing was too much trouble, and their care and thoughtfulness really showed.
If you’re looking for a calm, family- and dog-friendly escape that feels both restorative and memorable, Big Rocks Hip Camp is an absolute gem. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already planning our return. 💚

Great site, very private. Prompt refund for fire wood when a total fire ban was placed over the area.

We loved staying at big rocks bush retreat. They were very accommodating and the area was just beautiful to stay. Next time. We will try out a different camp but enjoyed the one we stayed at near main camp was good to be able to bring the dogs and the bikes and have a great weekend away with family.

We enjoyed the friendly atmosphere initiated by John.
Lot's of room for us in the Main Camp.
My 7.7m long Mitsubishi Rosa (bus to motorhome conversion) handled the interesting track in from the main road without any issues at all.
I quite like this park and look forward to future camps there.

A real bush camp but with the bonus of a toilet. Plenty of space to spread out. We went on a hike following the 4wd and dirt bike trails, with gorgeous views from the perfect vantage spots. No problems with access to the property. Will definitely be going back in the future

Great spot. Love the hiking trails into the mountains and the communal area is quite cool with the astro turf pool table. Ranger John is a legend too.

The landscape and scenery at Big Rocks Bush Retreat is stunning. John and Lyn were very accommodating over our stay. Main Camp was the perfect base, with a huge firepit setup and even a space for a game of bush volleyball!

Had the best time camping with friends and little ones. Our dogs were welcomed, and had the best adventure travelling with us. The stars were beautiful at night which made the experience even more wholesome. The farm animals around including the baby lambs and a friendly horse were a bonus.

I enjoyed my experience at the camp. With the wide property it was easy to spread out and have your own space to enjoy and be peaceful. Bonus for having a toilet and a great communal space if needed. Loved seeing the animals roaming the property.
Will be back again! Thanks for having us John and Lyn

We were very happy with the campsite we had. Private, with a great fireplace & we were lucky & had a covered picnic table. The communal area of the camp is very tired & needs TLC.
There were plenty of tracks for walking or riding, but a lot were becoming overgrown. Sadly, there was no mud map available, either, to give us a general overview of the layout.
The property is scenic, with granite boulders & mountain views, and is a great spot to bush camp if you're self sufficient.
Our hosts were a little elusive.

This was one of the best camping trips we've ever had. We were lucky enough to get one of the common areas completely to ourselves, so we spread out and enjoyed the magical surrounds. It was amazing to get (mostly) off grid and offline and explore the creeks and bush. John and Lyn were very helpful and hospitable. I loved meeting the animals and we'll definitely be back (next time with the kids!). Thanks again.

Plenty of camp sites to choose from, small to large. Open sites to surrounded by trees. Creek had a slight flow to it, made it feel a little tropical compared to the bush up top. Hosts were friendly, the animals were cute, we checked out the communal area and would be a good area to have some drinks and make some new mates. Tracks were a little overgrown but added to the fun of driving around finding a spot. Would come again to do the walk. Might need a map for next time though.

What a wonderful spot. The granite boulders strewn about add such character. We loved hiking up the hill, and were grateful to find the deeper pool to cool off in afterwards. The horse, cow and sheep were so tame and came to hang out at camp for an afternoon. A well maintained property with a friendly, helpful host. We certainly hope to be back again soon! Thanks John!
