Look for the big red letterbox with the blue flag on the right. This spot is for people that think that they are the only ones left in the world. Once at the top, it's yours to live in peace and quiet. 56 acres of undulating hills covered with native bush land, with 10 cleared sites for you to set up camp. If you like an adventure then this mountain is for you. 2 sites called "Top of the world tent site 1 and tent site 2" are accessible by 4WD only (tent camping is advised) There is a step 19 degree road up to the penthouse summit thats at 1000ft. However if it is dry you can tow a camping trailer but only if you have a winch. If it rains the only way down is backwards tethered to trees via your winch. It's an adventure. Campers are welcome to have a campfire, there is plenty of timber on the ground that you can collect or bring your own. As long as there is no fire ban. There are some great bush walks you can enjoy, including down to the creek (about a 40 min walk). The creek is picturesque with lemon trees and peach trees along the edge while in season. There are 2 sites down at the creek called Firefly's and platypus and these are for off road self contained 4x4 campers and those with a tent. The creek is pristine and crystal clear unless it's raining. These 2 sites are absolutely private if you book them both. If you don't mind sharing the creek with another camper then you only need to book 1 site. There is also a 10 month of the year 30 metre high waterfall (depending on rain fall this waterfall can vary from massive water to slow water) and another seasonal waterfall. Don't forget the dam for swimming with the spa tub and fresh mountain spring water constantly flowing into it from an inch and a half poly pipe constantly overflowing into the dam. The water in the creek is safe to drink with no filter needed. The creek is running and crystal clear and very private. If you are in a 2 wheel drive RV/ Motorhome you can book the "Paw Paw hill site" or "a dam good view" There is one site that is all grass accessible in the dry weather. Plenty of drinking water is also available at all sites either via a tap or the creek running water. All campers MUST HAVE their own portable toilet. If no portable toilet you can purchase one from many camping stores at a reasonable price before coming. Doing number 2 in the bush is totally unacceptable. Because this is a leave no trace camp site we do ask you to take all trash with you when you leave as well. There is no council rubbish collection in this area. We respect our beautiful paradise and we know you will appreciate it also. If you make a fire please leave it so I can mow around it once you leave. E.G Please remove all sticks.

Camping at this site offers a peaceful retreat with stunning views of the countryside. Many campers appreciated the abundance of wildlife, including kangaroos and birds, and enjoyed the refreshing dip in the spring-fed spa. Alan, the host, is often praised for his hospitality and helpfulness, ensuring guests feel welcome and taken care of. However, the journey can be challenging for vehicles not equipped for rough terrain, requiring a bit of preparation.

Fireflies by the Creek

Alan was a great host, providing lots of information about the site and bush walks. We booked out both Fireflies and Platypus Creek sites, which were easy to get to. There were plenty of places to set up our camper trailers and a sheltered area to relax during the heat of the midday. The cool water at the creek was a very welcome place for a dip. We walk to the highest campsite which has an amazing view of the area all the way across to the edge of the Border Ranges National Park.

2wd RV Paw Paw Hill

We had such an amazing time staying at Top of the World! This was our first stay at a hip camp property and must say we were so impressed! The location was absolutely beautiful! We booked the Paw Paw hill site as the other sites were already booked. I really loved this spot! sitting on top of a little hill area - beautiful views all around! So Peaceful and Serene. Alan was an awesome host. He met us on arrival and guided us to the site. He also popped in to check on us the following morning. We were even lucky enough to meet his beautiful family. The creek and the spa with fresh water running into it was also so very refreshing to cool down in on the hot days! So Fresh and clean! We loved our stay so much that we intend on coming back for sure and making our visits a regular annual trip! (if not more frequent) Sites are very well maintained and clean and awesome that we got to bring our dog with us!! Thanks for everything Alan and Linda. See you again soon!!

Platypus by the Creek

I would recommend this camp to anyone who likes to be away from it all. We were concerned at first about taking a caravan in and out especially after some heavy rain, but Alan reassured us and we had no problems. The Platypus site has great access to a refreshing swimming hole. The site was very private and the sound of the running creek was very relaxing. We have put this one on our list to return!
