Double tree hill top (site 9) views
Incredible gem
Absolutely incredible at at hilltop camp - even with 30km winds and rain and 5 degree nights - this site is just amazing... Bring Kites, hammocks, those big gliding planes to keep the kids busy...plenty of space and very very private no one around us what so ever... And the animals omg my kids (and the adults) just Absolutely loved the animal tour and Jane and Mark are so friendly and inviting... The communal fire put was a lovely way to meet other camper and have the kids play with other kids camping and the playground was a hit with the kids also... Over all it was just beautiful memories made and we highly recommend - we didn't stay long enough and will be back soon for more...
