The land is beautiful! The lake is very large and so are the camping spots, instead of putting more spots in to make more money, Sandy has given a very large amount of room in between other spots and campers which gives it a very nice personal feeling that you definitely don’t get when you book in at a holiday park unless there is only a small amount of other campers that have booked. Although the drive in to find your spot can be a bit confusing when it’s dark, there is plenty of space to drive around on the grass to get back to the road leading in if you miss the designated spots. When you drive in, once you see the sign for the first campsite called the bend, turn to the left (driving around the space provided for the camp sites along the lake) and follow the lake to the other spots. There is lots of room to drive around the campsites and just turn in towards the lake when you see the sign for your camp site. If you miss the sign for the first campsite when driving in, the road in will continue down to some horses paddocks which are fully fenced just 100m further down the road, if you get to here then you’ve gone too far, just turn around and head back the way you came keeping a look out for the perimeter of the big lake where it comes up to alongside the road and the sign for the first campsite the bend will be right there on the corner of the lake where the road is.

The property is kept beautifully grass is short, camp ground are flat. Perfect place to unwind. The kids absolutely love this place, we will definitely back when we are down south again.
