Caravan Overnight Stay
Recommend for relaxation
Great place to sit back and relax. Beautiful setting, flat ground, cafe with shop and Earth room to explore as well as the craters themselves. Found myself being drawn to them at different times of the day and night. Was high dew levels and misty mornings which made it mystical. Great for photos. Neighbour sells fresh chicken and duck eggs so we grabbed some of both. Friendly hosts who haven't been there long but have done a great job setting things up. 20 mins from Bundaberg and 25 min from Gin Gin. Both make great days out. Lots to do if you want. We stayed 3 nights and will be back when we come this way again. Dogs allowed on a lead. Owners dog came over a few times to check my dog out. They got on well.

Caravan Overnight Stay
Camping in the rain
After a couple of days of continuing heavy rain we were looking for a comfortable overnight stay with minimal mud. Mystic Craters is situated in a magnificent lawned and garden setting showcasing their star attraction. We had a really comfortable stay even in torrential rain in a truly beautiful and secure setting. We also managed to quickly view the craters at night also when the rain eased. The owners were very kind and concerned that we were ok too. Would love to go back in good weather and enjoy this again

GUESTS MUST CHECK IN BEFORE 3 PM
Hosts need to openly post that guests MUST ARRIVE BEFORE 3 PM. This was not communicated to me until the day of the booking, and I don’t check messages while driving for safety reasons!

Camping with my cat
This is indeed a quiet and tranquil place, I booked again and again. I had the whole place for myself and it was a great rest The owners are so nice and welcoming. I can really recommend this place, especially for that price I feel it is well worth it, enjoy it!!! I could leave my van securely and fetch my wife from the airport without worries.
