​

Welcome to Goomburra Valley Campground. It is our pleasure to have you as guests on our property. To enhance your safety, ensure you have an enjoyable experience and to avoid any embarrassing situations, please read the following.

 

All campers and day visitors must register at the office

Pets - please refer to our pet policy.

What are day visitors??
We are asked this quite often. We love the fact that registered guests can have friends drop into visit them when they are camping. We offer this from 9.00am - 6.00pm and visitors' cars will be parked in our car park.

We do not offer the chance for registered guests to arrive early and check-in as a visitor from 9.00am - to check-in time at 1.00pm, nor pack up to leave at check-out time of 11.00am and then register as a day visitor for the rest of the day. Our car park is not large enough for vans and campers to be parked up before check-in time or after check-out time.

We also request that if you have a booking for a few days and within that time you have a family member or friend camp for part of that time (say 1 night), they also arrive and leave within the check-in / check-out times.

We have a two-hour window (from 11.00am - 1.00pm) to clean and prepare the campground after guests have left and before the next ones arrive. This includes cleaning amenities, emptying bins, emptying fire pits, mowing etc. Each time a guest leaves or arrives within those two hours, we need to stop this work
and assist them.

Please help us to present our campground to the highest standards we can by being mindful of our check-in and check-out times. We want to offer you the best camping experience we can.

Driving and Cars

• Please abide by check-in and check-out times.

• We do not allow entry or re-entry onto our property between 7.00 pm (8.00pm on Fridays) and 8.00am unless prior written agreement is made. Gates are closed (if you need to leave the property due to an emergency – it is possible for you to leave - we will help you).

• For comfort and safety of other guests, we also request you do not drive in our campground between 7.00 pm (8.00pm on Fridays) and 8.00am unless prior written agreement is made.

• We allow for one vehicle per site, any extra vehicles are to be parked in the area in front of workshop.

• Normal road rules apply in the park

Setting Up

• Campers are required to set up on sites allocated to them by Management sites have boundary markers to ensure space between each booking.

• Campers are not allowed to camp on our "Common Area" directly adjacent to the creek - this protects our beautiful creek.

• Shade cloths or enviro-mats are our preferred ground sheets. We DO NOT allow tarps or recycled mats.

• Whilst every effort is made to ensure that any dead/dying or dangerous limbs are removed from the trees in the campsites, care must be exercised by guests when setting up camp. (look up before you set up!)

• Please do not damage or destroy flora and fauna.

To preserve our grass:

• If you need to tip fat or hot water out, you can use the base of a tree.

• We have provided concrete around the fireplace to put your hot camp ovens.

• Do not dig trenches or holes.

Bicycles & Scooters

• Guests are welcome to ride their bikes and scooters and helmets must be worn at all times. Helmets are available for loan if you forgot yours.

Fires and Firewood

• We are happy for our guests to collect any sticks or bark on the ground - nothing is to be taken from any of our trees.

• We sell wood and kindling, but you may bring your own wood but it must be pre-cut into lengths approx 12 inches or so as to fit in the fireplace.

• Modest fires are allowed in designated fireplaces only and do not leave unattended.

• You may only use your personal firepit on the concrete around ours - no firepits are to be placed on the ground.

• If your fireplace needs to be emptied please see management.

 

• If you need to use coals outside the fire, or braziers, please use the concrete around the fireplace – not the grass.

• The stumps around your fireplace are provided for splitting your firewood.

 

Children

• Children are to be under parental supervision at all times.

• Please don’t leave children alone at fires.

• We are happy for children to tie a bit of meat to string to catch yabbies in the creek, but to protect an endangered species of frog, we do not allow yabby traps.

Noise

• Please keep music levels within your own campsite.

• All forms of noise are to be kept to a reasonable level at all times, we require all music to be turned off from 10.00pm - 7.00am.

• Offensive / foul language will not be tolerated at any time.

Water

• All water is drinkable unless otherwise stated. Bore water is sterilised and the rain water is filtered. There are no water connections for vans but you may top up with jerry cans or buckets if needed.

• Showers are included in fees (no tokens or money needed) but please be aware of water restrictions and use water carefully by limiting showers.

Other:

• Please use the clothes line provided; stringing lines between trees could cause an injury. Please leave camp areas clean and tidy for the next person to enjoy and please use the rubbish bins provided.

• Please remember you are in a natural bush setting so shoes should be worn at all times.

• Please do not empty caravan canisters or portable toilets into our systems. Talk to Teresa at the Office.
