Epic space for big camping group!
What a phenomenal campsite. Spent Father’s Day weekend here with 3 families. So much space to spread out, enjoy nature, and spend time together around the fire. The hut is a great space for a cook up and sharing meals. The site is very level for tents and vans. We got our 15ft off grid van in and out without issue, towed by a Chev Silverado on dry ground. AWD cars would be fine as long as you’ve got decent clearance. We saw the platypus in the early morning which was exciting, as well as a couple of lovely wombats, and lots of bird life. This is such an amazing space and we will definitely return for future gatherings! Big thanks to Sharon and Ross for their hospitality and beautiful property!

We had a great time. We are used to camping without amenities but staying here was amazing. We were also very lucky to see a platypus.

Loved the hot outdoor shower in mid winter. Best drop toilet we have ever seen. Very private setting. Well equipped kitchen, living space, open fire places and great hosts. Would happily stay again and recommend to others. The access road is an easy drive but slippery when wet and we did need 4WD at times.
