Camping with animals!

John and Lyn were fabulous hosts. Nothing was a bother. The campsites are beautifully cleaned and looked after. We were fortunate enough to go after the rain so there was water running through the nearby creek. The farm animals are sweet and love a pat or belly rub (Peaches the pig) and are so well looked after. A perfect mental health getaway to unwind, switch off, relax, walk, climb the mountain to watch the sunset, pat an animal, play a game of pool in the communal area, sit by the campfire, or simply read a book. I can't recommend enough. Thank you!

Big Rocks Bush Retreat

In general we were very disappointed, no water, no facilities in so called camp kitchen and is a absolute nightmare getting a 4 wheel drive and 28 foot caravan up the track into the camp site. Details should say not suitable for caravans.

Amazing location, super peaceful, a great variety of walks and wildlife. John was super helpful and friendly. Will definitely return to explore the rest of the property.

Happy Family Campers

As a family consisting of 3 kids (one ring in from other side of family), parents n grand parents, all of us were happy with our camp at Big Rocks. Kids had fun and occupied each other playing on rope swing, and making a cubby on the creek. So nice to see kids be kids n play, no stress for parents as kids naturally happy :)
