2nd June 2012 Wow, certainly opposite of our experience! Gloria was great! Helpful, hardworking, knowlegable, and the environs were charming, and the cabin was immaculate. Can't wait to go back. _Tacoma, Washington, USA

29th November 2011 My stay in the backpacker was awful. I was with my friend and it's the worst backpacker we've ever seen. Dirty, old food in the fridge, nothing for cooking, no pressure and no hot water in the shower. And the worst was the owner, she got mad because I told her what I said before. Maybe the camping part is good, but the backpacker is horrible

26th October 2011 Good Campsite - nice and quiet! There is a lack of cutlery and crockery in the kitchen, though! Lovely surrounding countryside to go walking in!

2nd January 2011 WORST PLACE EVER!!! STAY AWAY!! If I could rate it in the negatives I definitely would!! Gloria the camp owner has no customer service skills and there is NO privacy there as she drives around the camp every hour. An out right rude person! She is guilt of committing many illegal forms of conduct at the motor camp. Firstly, it is a legal requirement to have a 3 meter gap between tent sites, she has no gaps at all. Secondly, she breaches the Privacy Act by out rightly using people's full name which she got off the forms as you sign in. Thirdly, there are no warning of steps in poorly lite areas creating a hazard. Fourthly, the is guilty of false advertising, on the website advertising as $15 a night and on arrival it is $20 a night. Fifthly, stereotyping us by our age, assuming that because we are going to cause trouble. There are many more,but the worst thing is the lack of privacy, she drives around in a car every hour checking up on certain people (youth). She is incredibly frustrating to talk to as she talks slow and to herself.

2nd January 2011 AM NEVER GOING BACK!
If i could rate it in Negatives, i would.
We only stayed there because it was our last option. The campsite was great, lovely people etc.
But exact same problem as the last reviewer. Gloria (the campsite owner) made us feel so uncomfortable that we didnt want to leave our campsite. The constant driveby's that we recieved from her aswell, were unwelcoming, and gave us no privacy at all.
I thought it was just age descrimination at first, but talked to a couple of over 50yr olds, and they felt the exact same.
We caused no trouble at all and stayed to ourselves the whole time, except for the night of New Years Eve, where half the campsite came together in the kitchen for a gathering. Gloria ended up coming down and swearing at the lots of us, and made us feel even more uncomfortable
( If that was possible) on New Years Eve.
To top it off, while we were setting up our tent, about ten pigs came running through our site, yes.. PIGS.
She shouldn't run a campsite, with no customer service skills.
She was nothing but rude to us from the time we entered her office, and throughout our entire stay. She still had the cunning-ness to wish us a happy new years as we walked out on the last day with our reciepts as proof that she had ripped us off .
The website is $15 per night, but we were charged $20 each.
She also has her workers up at all hours cleaning (3am and 5am was when i saw one cleaning)
Everyone else we talked to, felt the same, and were never going back.
