    We are located on 25 acres of serene, private bush and pasture that bounds the Narawntapu National Park. We have a beautiful beach that's only a 3-5 minute walk away. Our property offers lots of space for you to choose the ideal private spot. Take advantage of the beautiful views or if you prefer, choose a spot that is more sheltered.   Guests are required to fully self contained with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. Campfires are allowed when there are no restrictions in place and you can bring your own fire pit. You can help yourself to fallen kindling around the property but please BYO firewood and do not fell any of our trees. Pets are allowed but as our neighbours have sheep please ensure they are kept restrained and under your control at all times. Please clean up after your pets. Across the road is a beautiful beach for swimming, fishing, picnicking and relaxing.  There are great National Park walking tracks with stunning coastal views close by for guests to explore. You will need a Parks Pass to do this and they can be purchased online.Our property offers lots of space for you to choose the ideal private spot.

    Camping at this site offers a peaceful and serene experience, with many visitors praising its proximity to the beach and spaciousness. The atmosphere is friendly, and the area is pet-friendly, which is great for families traveling with their furry companions. However, some campers noted issues with finding level ground and the presence of mosquitoes. Despite these minor drawbacks, most visitors enjoyed their time, appreciating the tranquility and natural beauty of the surroundings.

    We had such a great stay. So easy to book. The location was beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. The campground was spacious and we loved the friendly atmosphere, & how pet-friendly it was. The host was welcoming and made everything easy. We’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quiet escape in nature. We loved the short walk to the beach. What a relaxing few days we had away. Thank you. Can’t wait to visit again!”

    In all honesty I would rather stay up the road 10min away at the watermill cottage stay, $10 dollars a night the photos make this spot look better than it actually is we booked for 3 nights and stayed for 1 night we have used a lot of hip camps and the photos have been true but unfortunately not this time
