Crotty's Lake Camping

Me gustó A fantastic and very affordable campsite. Excellent location, beautiful views, and clean air. We loved Crotty Lake, which is also steeped in history. Bernard, Joe, and their family were very friendly and welcoming. There were cooking facilities and a place to get coffee and tea. The bathrooms were clean, and I was surprised to find feminine hygiene products; not even the most expensive 5-star hotels in the world have them. Campfires are not allowed; I agree this is for safety and to protect nature and the environment. But the use of smokeless fuels, such as campfires, is permitted. We had a great time and will definitely return. I would recommend it to my friends. Thanks for everything, Bernard.

Me gustó Very unique campsite, lots of different beautiful and varied spaces to suit your needs. Ideal for hiking the Comeraghs but the awesome hospitality stood out. Lots of tips for the locality, and a fire pit with smokeless fuel (purchased on site). We had a lovely relaxed two nights camping.

Me gustó The place.

No me gustó Who the hell had the idea of running a campsite and do not allow fires?? Camping with no fire?? That’s not camping. It’s a very nice place, but I wouldn’t go back again. Sorry, I understand their rules but don’t agree with them. If you really lime camping, enjoying a night camping, that’s not the place. Nice people running it, but sorry, no. When asked what was the reason for not allowing fires we had 3 different ones. So, it is unclear why, it seems just they don’t want.

Del administrador: Dear Antonino,

We here at Crotty's Lake are disappointed you did not have the experience you hoped for at our place. Your co camper also expressed a similar view.

You state in your review that we do not allow small campfires, this is simply not the case. I am sure you noted our rules stating very clearly that smokeless fuels are allowed, before you booked. Perhaps you missed it, but then it was explained to you on the day several times that smokeless fuel was available but you choose the option not to use it. This was your choice of course and we respect that entirely.

Your point about the three different reasons for our campfire policy were also outlined to you very explicitly and easy to comprehend.

Thank you for your kind comments about the management and the place being nice. I hope on reflection that you understand our rules were in place before you booked and that safety and the environment are uppermost in our minds and everyone else's at all times.

Me gustó Amazing site ....simple and rural and tucked away ...the most welcoming hosts I have ever met on a campsite.Beautiful views

No me gustó Nothing to dislike ...no onsite showers but this is well advised

Me gustó Not

No me gustó The place is fine, the only problem is that you can't have a fire, and going camping without a fire is terrible, which is the essence of the camp.
They changed their story four times about not allowing fires.
I don't recommend anyone to go.

Del administrador: Dear Anonymous,

We at Crotty's Lake pride ourselves on customer satisfaction and are very sorry that you or your two co tenters did not enjoy your stay. This is most regrettable from our point of view.

We would like to state the our site does allow smokeless fires. This is stated clearly on our site page. You would have read this before you booked and in fact the smokeless fuel gives a better all round camping experience.

The other points you raise as to the reasons given by management for no wood fires were clearly explained to you and your friends. The danger to forestry, the smoke blowing downwind that affects other people and of course the environment. I am sure on reflection you will agree that all the above are noteworthy and a common sense approach and policy of the management.

A safe camping experience and respecting our nature and environment is what we strive for here and I am sure you agree with this.

Me gustó Amabilidad de Joe. También bosque, lago, paseos. Entorno muy bonito. No usamos los baños.

No me gustó Ibamos con autocaravana. No hay aguas grises ni negras. El llenado de agua fue improvisado, pero funcionó
