This place was really incredible.
Kate, the owner runs the place really well and the people you meet there are very friendly, always ready to help.
The showers and toilets are always clean. Some yoga or dance events, etc. can be organized. Yoga studio, sofa lounge, washing machine are available.
She allows campers and vans to work in exchange for the night (1h or 2 for 1 night, it's very fair).
A very pleasant place to discover the surrounding area or simply stop off to recharge your batteries.

This is one of those places that instantly make you feel comfortable! It feels like its own little green world. Spotless facilities, outdoor kitchen (with roof), free showers and well working wifi. The owner Kate makes you feel so welcome and helps with everything. This really feels like a retreat!

It's not very big, but it has excellent amenities, great showers and a well-equipped kitchen.
Unpowered campervan site for $18, defenitely worth it!

Nicest shower I've ever used in a 'camping ground.' oh and the lounge, not big but homey, comfortable with a hot water jug.
Lovely spot, lots of trees but 2 dogs if that is a worry. The kitchen is outdoors but has emergency provisions and free range eggs for sale {there is a morning rooster}.

Absolutely stunning!
What an awesome place to set up camp for the night. Hot, strong showers, free wifi and such a cool puppy by the name of scout running around. It’s a little slice of paradise tucked away in Kamara. Place to escape the cold, charge all your devices with lovely service to match. Definitely worth the stay! 10/10 would recommend

Beautiful spot - very homely and super super showers (hot, clean and like a real bathroom-no bugs!).
Great dog and friendly host.
Outdoor kitchen and lots of table/hammocks. Van space is gravel driveway but as there is a shared grassy area this is fine!
Need cash to pay (can do PayPal but small charge)
Lovely , friendly atmosphere :)
