Base Camp - Campsites
We.loved staying here in our roof top tent. Beautiful location (where we saw an echidna as well as pademelons) and the facilities were excellent- a great kitchen/lounge space and a toilet, shower and laundry block. Everything was spotless. The driveway was pretty hairy tho! Best in low gear as it is very steep with some very sharp corners.

Legendary friendly folk & wildlife
Steve & Alana are legends. They are fabulous hosts & the property itself is amazing. The facilities are great, the wildlife is abundant, & the peacefulness of the campground is truly remarkable. It was great to use as a basecamp to explore the area & also for taking a break from excursions while having the comforts of home out in the bush. Good people go here!

HOLIDAY IN STYLE
Perfect quiet location. Lived up to the name as “base camp”. So peaceful didn’t want to leave. Ammenities are above anything experienced in other locations saying this I felt we were at a family getaway home and not a camp ground. Planning the next trip but next time we will stay longer. Thank you for the wonderful experience

Lovely camping spot in the bush
Alana and Steve are great hosts and their property is peaceful and beautiful. As everyone says, the entry is quite steep but was fine in our campervan, although could be challenging in the wet. Best amenities we encountered - clean, spacious and comfortable.

Wonderful !
We loved the peaceful, beautiful ambience of Base Camp. Steve & Alana are very friendly, welcoming, sharing their space, knowledge & keeping a very clean, well stocked place. The drive in is narrow, but able to be done in a 6m campervan. Abundant wildlife, birds, flora & stars!
