A note from the site themselves...

The farm has been with the same family since 1936. The campsite is located on the paddocks that the heavy horses lived on while they were working the land before tractors were used.

There is an abundance of wildlife - birds, hedgehogs, deer as well as the occasional escapee sheep! There is always something to see.

As there is no light pollution the dark skies are amazing and this is an ideal place to see the Peresies meteor showers in min-August - lie on your back and look at the sky - there is nothing more beautiful.
