DESCRIPTION:

A special treat for travellers and families, this beautiful campsite amongst the trees and across the road from the lake was a pleasure to visit. With only 15 campsites available, within a fairly roomy grassed area, you may need to book ahead to avoid disappointment. Each site comes with its very own toilet/shower unit, a picnic table, and tap. The well-kept grounds are level and have many attractive shelter trees scattered throughout. A little laundry building has automatic washer, dryer, ironing facilities and vacuum cleaner, and beside the original farm barn is a cosy kitchen with room to relax away from the working area. There are plenty of appliances, including a microwave and a BBQ is also available. Don\'t sit down on the chairs out the front of the kitchen though, you may never leave as the view is to die for. All the facilities are beautifully maintained, while across the road is a boat ramp for campers use and plenty of shore fishing. The camp closes at the end of April and opens again mid-September, and your friendly hosts are Jamie and Pam. All sites are from $40 for two, $15 each extra, children 12 and under $7.50 and under 5 years $5, while infants are free.
