Great spot next to the creek, although the water level was low, we were still able to go for a swim in deeper spots.

Not private but the creek was nice.

Tent

Not as private as we were expecting.. the creek/spot was beautiful but just a little too close to family homes… especially over a long weekend when people tend to have family over.

Camping with a view

What an unreal campsite! Such a nice spot next to the creek. Great for showering in if it’s not to cold! Great hike just around the corner with an insane waterfall. Peter is super friendly and I really can’t fault this campsite. Definitely recommend!
