Tent Site 4

Everything was as expected. Tent site was quite small, so if all the sites were booked it would have been too crowded for us....but since we were the only ones in the tenting section it was great. Lovely road to bike along, a beautiful area to spend the night. Bugs were not great when the sun went down, but it was July, so no surprises.

Good camping in Rose Bay

What a nice hip camp spot. Lots of color and whimsy around the sites. Really appreciated the flush toilet, kitchen sink area and nice clean site. It was very relaxing and safe. Katie and Christine were responsive hosts. Beautiful area in Rose Bay.

Site 6 Tent or RV Site

Derelict junkyard

The property was very run down, buildings were in disrepair, and there were a lot of broken items, other junk, and debris lying around the buildings. While the specific site itself had the basic amenities described (flat pad, power hookup), the overall neglect and disrepair of the entire property made it feel like you were camping in a junk yard. Other than the single tight shot of the specific site, the whole rest of the property looked nothing like the pictures. As well, the claim that the property has an ocean view is no longer true because a house has been built across the road which completely obstructs the view of the water. Overall, this Hipcamp property felt dodgy, derelict, and very uninviting. After driving through the property to find the site we’d booked, we immediately turned around and left.
