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!
