Getaway close to the city!

Leigh and Christine's place was lovely. Nestled in a natural amphitheatre space at the top of a hill at the back of thier property was a perfect place for the 5 of us. Fire pit was comfortable and easy to use. Spot was secluded enough from the house which is perfect for solo campers or anyone concerned about safety. Would definitely recommend!

Very small camp site, very close to the hosts house. Grounds very overgrown.

Camping was great with a view. Host politely let us borrow a shovel for the campfire when we realised we had forgot ours!

Loved our stay at Chestnut Grove! Leigh and Christine were easy to communicate with throughout, and we loved the camp site which has a great view and plenty of birdlife/wildlife sounds surrounding us. Highly recommend!

We set up our camper on Leigh’s land and had a fabulous time, the directions were clear and the views are beautiful. We didn’t have a lot of time to get away and Leigh’s place is not too far from the city so was great for a quick getaway!
