A must visit.
Wow. What a spot!! We ended up here after a detour due to the highway been closed and I’m glad we were! This place is a gem. Peter and Melinda have created a magic camping spot. Met by Peter at the entrance and shown great directions around the property. Options of right on the river or on a rise with a great view. Fire pits provided. Toilets, while portaloos, were some of the cleanest, nicest toilets I’ve seen anywhere. Manicured grass and a visit from friendly cows. Peter and Melinda, you should be so proud of the product you are offering and I couldn’t recommend this place enough.
