    Camping at its finest!
    9 ft Class B · With kids
    Billy’s campsite was absolutely amazing! From the well-maintained sites to the conveniently located water and power, everything was top-notch. Mark has truly created a fantastic place to visit and stay. The toilets were spotless, and the showers were a refreshing treat after a long day. The boys were in awe of all the creative ways Billy’s has been built, and they couldn’t stop talking about the plunge pool!

    Fantastic site. Easily one of the best places we have ever stayed. The amount of imagination and effort that has been put into developing this site is mind blowing. Mark is very friendly and accomodating. We all loved staying here.

    GREATEST CAMP EVER
    Tent
    Without a doubt, the best camp I've ever stayed at. Mark and his son are nothing short of legends. the site is clean, flat, well maintained, gorgeously adorned with lights, trees and grass. the decor is outstanding, it literally feels like the place has risen out of an abandoned mining town from the 1800s, the rusty aesthetic compliments the landscape so well. the bathrooms are clean, no drop toilets! showers are warm and clean, all a short walk from the camp. heaps on offer at the LICENCED bar at the main site. a massive outdoor communal area for hanging out at, enjoying the setting and tucking into some camp grub. heaps of water taps, powered sites. bring a swag for a night or bring a caravan and stay for a month, you won't regret a second. the place is 20 minutes out of Dubbo, but feels like you're a million miles from anywhere. a must stay. absolutely will be back.

    What a great set up at Mark's. If you want to have peace and quite to unwind it's a great spot. Lots of old memorabilia around the bar area. Very clever thinking for showers and toilet buildings all fitting in with the theme of the camp site. Well done Mark great job and awesome host. Wish you all the best on this ever evolving camp.
