The panoramic views of the mountains from our Cross X Roads paddock ARE THE BEST and most nights there will be campers sitting out, enjoying the serene surroundings with refreshments and cameras.

Tents are also welcome.

We are a NON POWERED site with basic amenities which includes a composting toilet, and a beautiful fresh water stream which comes straight from the mountain and is safe to drink.
