Great place to go and chill with a nice fire and the sound of the creek

A hidden gem
I can’t say enough about how beautiful this spot is! Very private space by a little stream surrounded by rolling hills, we almost felt like we were in the Shire. The toilet and sink on site was also super helpful and the firewood provided was a great bonus. Unfortunately for us, it rained a massive amount which forced us to pack up very early on in our stay but our awesome host Tim refunded us the nights we weren’t able to be there for, unprompted. Staying here was super affordable and we will 100% be coming back again! (Maybe even make it a yearly family trip 😊)

Timothy was really helpful with a last minute booking. Unfortunately we couldn’t get to the campsite in the end but saw the location the next day and it looked great.

It is a beautiful place - can’t fault it. We love the fire and the quiet. We got to laugh our hearts out and let our hair down.

I had to book last minute and showed up at Tim's property late at night. Another group steered me to the right part of the property - they said that Tim came to let them know I would be coming. I never met Tim because it was late, but he was very friendly in our messages and didn't mind that I was last minute... in fact I was impressed he took the time to tell the other group I would be coming. The property is unique, scenic, and gorgeous. Would definitely recommend! Thanks again Tim
