Beautiful 😍
This was an absolutely beautiful little spot . Site 9 fit our 18.5ft caravan easily with room for the awning . Super close to clean toilets and the BEST rainforest showers with HOT water 😍 lovely little swimming hole and creeks that run all around the camp site . Staff are super friendly and mindful of keeping the peace and quiet around camp. They have a Hammock area, board games, reading nook , with access to wifi, two kitchen/dinning spaces. 5min drive to the wheel of fire hike at finch hatton gorge . Kids loved all the swimming spots and the hike to the best swimming spot of all 🥰 spaces for tents, camper tents, RVs and a more open private spaces down the road . Highly recommend this site !!!!

Magical Wonderland
What an amazing and magical experience. We loved sight 9 however 10 would be better if you like us want to charge the batteries using solar. The outdoor showers were amazing and the poo with a view toilet was hilarious. At night fairy lights guide you around camp in a truly magical experience. Our host was amazing and she provided us with excellent advice including the local eatery Edens Cafe. I highly rate the venue.
