    Relax by the Greenough River
    19 ft Class B · With pets
    Sara and Paul are very friendly and welcoming hosts. Freedom to find your own spot on their property. Dogs allowed off-leash is amazing, makes everything much more relaxed. Very short walk to the Greenough River, will definitely bring kayaks next time. 16km Loop of the Greenough Nature Trail right on their doorstep offers wonderful scenery. Toilet and shower are more than enough for a camping trip and were well presented. We were self sufficient but the facilities offer services for those that aren't. Loved the outdoor movie night they put on! We had no problems with anything and would definitely stay again.

    Location ok but facilities not
    19 ft travel trailer
    Overall we had a nice couple of days but camping in a paddock with lots of prickles and hundreds of ants wasn’t ideal. Luckily we had our own kitchen and toilet as the camp kitchen was not I up to scratch , dusty and dirty.Location was ok but charging $65 a night wa a bit over the top for what we had .We were warned that the bathroom and kitchen facilities weren’t flash but felt that given they knew we were coming they could have cleaned it.

    Awesome place
    Tent · With pets
    Love this place, Sara is very friendly and was amazing when handling issue of strong winds offered to stay in one of her vans I'm so grateful as I think my swag would just fly away. General feel is great you are not very far from the house but somewhat feel secluded and mind your own business. Loved being able to see horses very calming. Can't wait to visit again and explore more :) It was exactly what I needed big thank you Sara :) xxx

    Very lovely spot to stay. Sara is welcoming, helpful and great with kids. There is lots of space, so you can be away from other groups. Close to the river for walks etc. The horses, rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens are delightful. Thanks Sara.
