It was a great experience for all. Our young boys loved it. We felt welcomed and at home. The boys loved feeding frank the piglet and the big pigs. It was a great weekend away.

Awesome!
We loved camping here. Paul and Tracy are wonderful hosts. There is plenty of space for even the largest setups. The road in is steep, but we got our 3.5T van down and back up the hill without a drama. You just need to use 4wd low, and take your time. The animals that wander around are very placid. The facilities are clean and well-placed. All in all, this is a place you'll return to again and again!

Bares Hideaway is an absolute gem for anyone looking to escape the chaos of everyday life and reconnect with nature. From the moment you arrive, you’re met with a sense of tranquility that only a truly secluded spot can offer. The campsites are spacious, well-maintained, and perfectly positioned to give you privacy while still feeling part of the larger natural setting. Surrounded by lush greenery, you wake up to the sound of birdsong and fall asleep under a blanket of stars — a stargazer’s paradise! The facilities are clean and thoughtfully designed, striking a perfect balance between rustic charm and modern convenience. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or new to the experience, Bares Hideaway makes you feel at home in the wild. Fire pits are provided, making it easy to cook up a campfire feast or simply enjoy the warmth of the flames as the sun sets. What really sets Bares Hideaway apart, though, is the sense of community and the welcoming atmosphere. The owners are friendly, helpful, and clearly passionate about preserving the natural beauty of the area. It’s not just a campsite — it’s an experience. If you’re looking for a place where you can unplug, unwind, and immerse yourself in nature, Bares Hideaway should be at the top of your list. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family and friends, it’s a spot that leaves you feeling refreshed, grounded, and already planning your next visit.

What a great place to stay! The toilets and showers were close to my campspot and very clean. I will definitely return to this peaceful location, where I enjoyed seeing the sheep and goats passing by. The host was very nice, and I had great a conversation with them.
