Our property is an old school with a large oval, pine plantation, plenty of shade, tennis court and cricket field. Room for tents, vans, etc. Family friendly. Dog friendly. Toilet available (no shower). Campfires permitted in firepits when restrictions aren't in place. Firewood free. We are on the Bicentennial National Trail (BNT) and we are registered host for the Bicentennial National Trail users. It's a great base and we often have guests staying with lots of great stories to tell. We have farm animals guests are welcome to feed. We can loan you tennis racquets, balls and cricket equipment at no cost. Outdoor cinema available! Help in the garden in return for free produce. Splinter Creek is less than 500m walk and we are always lucky enough to spot the resident platypus whenever we go for walks. We live 18km from the beautiful Kolan River. Interesting disused train tunnels 2km from the property.

This campsite offers a generous slice of tranquility with its expansive, flat grounds perfect for setting up camp and letting the kids roam free. Guests are consistently impressed by the warm welcome from hosts Meagan and Ronald, who go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The site's proximity to the rail trail makes it a convenient base for explorers, while the added bonus of amenities like a fire pit and a hot shower enhance the experience. Some guests noted the absence of signage, which caused initial confusion, but the peaceful environment and friendly atmosphere quickly overshadow any minor inconveniences.

This was a great spot to park up for an overnighter on the nearby rail trail. We had 2 vehicles, left mine here overnight and rode all the way to builyan, returning the next day in the other. Very convenient. We didn't use any facilities but if you are looking for a safe place to park up rather than leaving your vehicle at barimoon siding in the state forest then this is the place for you! Thank you Meagan ;)

Site 7 - Camping under the stars

Meg was the best host. I loved that it was fenced and the kids could run free. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Very knowledgeable of the local area. 💯 will go back

Camping under the stars

Great place to base yourself for the Boyne Burnett rail trail- tunnel section. Large old school playground- bit of a slope. Can also donate funds. Large fire pit with wood - bring an axe. Didn’t meet Meagan but I believe she’s lovely.
