Wonderful place for family fun

We really enjoyed camping at Bushywood and will definitely be back! The grounds and facilities were great and the hosts were lovely. We really enjoyed walking around the lake, sitting around the campfire, swimming and kayaking. Wake boarding was the best!! Memories for a lifetime. Thanks, Bushy!

Great choice

I really enjoyed staying in my Jayco at ‘Bushywood’. I ended up staying for eight nights as it ticked all the boxes. The hosts are fantastic and the facilities are clean, tidy and central. It was so nice to be camped on lush grass instead of dirt. Town is handy for a top up of supplies or a meal and the campground is a good Basecamp to explore the region. Plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained at the campground itself. I am already planning my next trip there!!

Emma is a lovely host. The grounds are well kept, amentities clean and we always had lovely hot showers. The surrounding bush is lovely & the kids enjoyed canoeing up and down the lake. We were a party of 4 families, with 2 well behaved dogs & had a fabulous time. Thanks for having us Emma!

In desperate need of some TLC!

Was impressed by the reviews for this place, so booked a weekend here but was rather disappointed, sadly. Photos on here must be VERY old as the place is unkempt and falling apart. The fishing pontoon is broken and dangerous & there was litter (even disc brakes off a car) just laying around on the ground. The water skiing lake is unusable with noxious weed and the sites are all so uneven that we had to request to move as we actually couldn’t even pitch our tent in the site they gave us. (Which was an allocated site and you can’t just pick your own so unsure why we even bother paying an extra $5pp for early check in!). It is overpriced for what it is. We took out SUP expecting to be able to swim and my son took his fishing rod wanting to fish but none of these things were possible! The water was not inviting in any way and just old broken bits is stuff and rusting chairs scattered everywhere. The plus side were very warm showers (but minimal water pressure) and large sites and spaces (but also meant large groups with dogs barking and music going all night), or multiple permanent residents to contend with. We wouldn’t go back. PS - Bushy and his wife were very accommodating and can lend no complaints there.
