Quiet spot. I suggest arriving during the day as I had trouble finding the entrance in the dark and was unable to contact the property owner.

We had a wonderful night staying here, the area is wonderful, the property was really peaceful and well maintained. Steve was super friendly and it was truly a pleasure camping on the property. Heeeeaps of wildlife mainly wallabies around. The waterfall just down the road is breathtaking and a wonderful place for a swim. My only note is the drive down the hill is rather steep and probably not suitable for larger sized vehicles or if it is even slightly wet. Thankyou for having us

Camping among the trees 🏕️

Tent · Group trip

We had a wonderful weekend at this campsite nestled among the trees. There's plenty of space for multiple tents and cars. However, accessing the site can be challenging as it's quite steep. During rainy weather, only 4WD vehicles can navigate the slope. Fortunately, we had sunny weather, so our vans and small cars managed just fine. There are a few flat spots available, though not entirely level. The site is alive with birdlife and occasional wallabies from neighboring properties. Steve, the host, was welcoming and had a campfire ready upon our late arrival. There's also plenty of wood available on the properties for the fire. Additionally, there are some lovely orange and lemon trees on the property where you can pick a few fruits. What sets this site apart is its privacy. There's only one large camping area, ensuring you have it all to yourself. The main house is uphill, keeping it private and serene. Nearby Whian Whian Falls offers a refreshing river dip just a 5-minute drive away.
