Information & Rules
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.

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.

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.

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