Weekend getaway
Overall a great weekend Shayne was very friendly and accommodating. Large clean camping sites with adequate privacy. Plenty of room for the kids probably our only negative would be hearing the odd car along the road.

Cracking spot - amazing hosts - might not say too much as we don’t want all Hipcampers to arrive …. Enough said !

Picture perfect, peaceful haven
Would recommend this gorgeous, scenic spot - stunning views! Such a peaceful place to relax and enjoy nature at its best. Shayne was a great bloke, and really takes pride in greeting his guests to inform and assist their stay Pitches to suit all - on a scorching late Winters weekend, I was so grateful for a Creekside shady spot to chill out.

Scenic Views and Grassy Sites
Great hosts! Nice grassy sites. Clean creek to swim in. Scenic views of the mountains, especially from the pond. Would happily return!

Fresh water creek, beautiful.
We loved camping here over the weekend. The creek is so beautiful. The grass areas are well kept. Lots of fire wood available for $15 per bag, fire pits at every site. Kids loved playing on the creek swing. Shayne said they were fully booked for the weekend but there was heaps of room around us and nobody was partying or playing loud music which was great. Dogs loved playing in the creek as well. Close to town if you need anything.

Amazing camp on a creek. Perfect grounds with cattle and friendly horses for kids to feed. Host was friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Camp spots could be capped better for more space between campers but definitely will be back.
