Thanks Margaret and Lenny!
We had a lovely time and appreciated your hospitality and access to toilets and hot showers..

Beautiful location and nice people. Unfortunately, the camping element of the Hilltop business seems to be an afterthought. I paid $ 180 a night to pitch your tent in a paddock full of horses shit with minimal shade, and access to facilities that I would be expect in that price range.

I recently visited this camping ground for the second time, having previously been there in the fall, which was an amazing experience with plenty of fellow campers. However, my summer visit revealed some issues. The camping area was quite dirty, with horse dung scattered about and the grass dried up. I wouldn't recommend this location for summer camping.
Additionally, I found the camping fees to be on the higher side, especially considering the amenities and overall experience.

We booked for 3 nights, left after 2. Poo (?horse) in an open paddock with not much shade.
Tractor rides are $40 per person so pretty expensive for a family to do...$40 for 10min pony ride.
Good if you plan on doing some horse riding in but probably a one night stay is enough

We were very disappointed with our stay. At $180 AUD per night, one would expect a certain standard for a camping site. The description mentioned access to water, but this turned out to be a single faucet on a building. When asked, one staff member wasn’t even sure if the water was safe for drinking.
The campsite itself had almost no shade, despite the photos giving the impression of more trees. There was only one toilet with a shower, located far from the camping area, which was highly inconvenient, especially with a small child. This toilet was shared with guests from the horse-riding tours, making it even less accessible. One toilet is simply not enough, and it was dirty and smelled bad.
There was also no place to wash dishes, which is a basic amenity for any camping site.
On the positive side, the view is beautiful, and the presence of the animals adds a nice touch. However, the price of $180 per night is outrageous for what you get.
