Cockatoo Camp (trees and tracks!)
Loved looking through the trees and seeing resident kangaroos and Wallabies. Woke up to Kookaburras, sulphur crested cockatoos and the gorgeous warble of the magpies. Nothing better than sitting by the camp fire soaking it all up.

Pardolote Camp
Lovely owner but needs more privacy
The campsite is right next to the owners driveway and about 50m from their front door. There is little to no privacy. Even though dogs are awesome, 5 small dogs that constantly bark at strangers kind of ruins the peace and quiet of camping. Being so close to a working shower and toilet is great and all but would easily forgo such luxuries for quieter and more private setting somewhere else on the property. Maybe a compost toilet built in another fenced off area would be good.
