Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE COMFORTS

Serviced sites and basic amenities

All sites are serviced with fresh water taps, and the campground provides showers and toilets on site; powered pitches are available on a 1 × 15 amp supply.

THE EVENING

Campfires are part of the program

Campfires are permitted; the operator supplies fire drums for safe burning and offers firewood for purchase so evenings around the fire are both allowed and managed.

THE PRACTICALS

Pet‑friendly, simple rules

The campground is pet friendly when animals are kept on a lead, controlled and cleaned up after; pets are not permitted in amenities. The site prioritises short-term visitors and workers rather than long-term residency.

What the day feels like

What a stay feels like

Expect a no-frills, welcoming campground geared to travellers: arrive between midday and early evening, plug into a modest 15‑amp power supply if you need it, top up at fresh water taps, use onsite showers and toilets, and gather at a managed fire drum after dark. The operator positions the site as a practical, inexpensive base for stays of a few nights to a week.
