We’d love to invite you to join a camping experience not too far from home. Really close in fact! A great opportunity to introduce kids to camping! Some people might call it glamping with toilets, hot showers and a dishwashing area, but everyone needs to start somewhere. We’ll be staying at Longridge Park (follow this link for google maps location) and so nervous campers are assured that we are minutes from home, real coffee, a supermarket and anything else needed. This campsite is so popular I had to book it 12 months ago!
The purpose of the time will be to have lots of fun, enjoy good company and the outdoors! What better way to spend part of the long weekend? It is a beautiful and private location reserved just for us (no other campers allowed)! The cost is $20 per person for the two nights (same price for adults/kids - 2 & under is free). Really cheap! We can have a maximum of 40 people, so get in quick. We’ll start making it our home just after lunch on Sunday (around 2pm) and we’ll pack up around a similar time on the Tuesday afternoon with the Melbourne Cup as something to wrap it up at 3pm!
