Privacy & views

We stayed at a Hipcamp next to this one with eight or so other campers, a couple of played their music loud, dogs etc. This was the opposite, had it to ourselves and it was great. Beautiful views of the valley. Firewood provided was great, it meant I didn’t have to squeeze it into my boot. Recommend it 👍

Valley Views!

18 ft Class A

Tom's property provides a fantastic view of the Buxton valley. The camp site itself is at the rear of the property - very secluded and private. There is a crushed gravel site for your van with a synthetic grass mat for your table/chairs. It also has a fire pit and Tom provides some firewood. Its a great location for astro photography, with my wife taking some great photos. Its also 5 minutes from the Buxton Trout Farm where we all had fun catching dinner. Tom was incredibly helpful and responsive to all emails and questions. Great host and great location. Highly recommended.

Beautiful quiet spot.

19 ft travel trailer · With pets

What a great spot for a peaceful getaway. The site is nice and level, the view is amazing and having your own private dam for a swim is awesome. The picnic table and fire pit (with supplied wood) is a nice touch. Definitely recommend this spot if you’re self contained.

Had a fantastic stay at The Back Dam. Swimming in the waterhole, climbing mt Sugarloaf and seeing the local kangaroos kept us busy.
