What customers say
This well-loved, basic campground is lauded for its quiet, peaceful setting, with guests calling it "spotless" and "clean." Friendly, attentive owners, a river for paddling/fishing, fire pits, and spacious, marked sites are highlights. Minimal but clean facilities include communal sinks with running water. Car-free sites enhance child safety. Occasional road noise and one portaloo issue were noted.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Everything, very basic but it’s such a good spot. Peaceful, right next to river to have a splash, owner very laid back and friendly, and clean portaloos. Really nice family friendly spot that was perfect for us for just the one night.
Disliked Not that we disliked, but it is very basic but that was perfect for us for staying just one night

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked It's just nice for a little getaway. There's a sink, water and portaloo so it's just the basics but it's close to town. It's enclosed enough that the kids can play safely.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The site was spotless and the river was beautiful. Great pop up site and would definitely visit again if we were up that way.
Disliked Nothing to dislike but the numbers on the signage were unreachable. Didn’t matter as there was a garage up the road that sold logs etc.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked We've been coming each year since the site opened. We always make this our yearly go to campsite for the weekend. So simple yet so magical with some well needed peaceful family time. Great access to the village, walks & a perfect stream to catch some fish with the kiddies and a splash before spending the night by a fire. The owners are incredible people who come by to make sure you're ok, useful information if you need it and the porterloo's are always well stocked and cleaned. Added bonus is the box of garden toys/nets for you to use. They've added a sink since our last visit which made washing up so much easier!
