A aimé 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.

A aimé The place.

N'a pas aimé 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.

Réponse du gestionnaire : 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.

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

N'a pas aimé Nothing to dislike ...no onsite showers but this is well advised

A aimé Not

N'a pas aimé 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.

Réponse du gestionnaire : 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.

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

N'a pas aimé Ibamos con autocaravana. No hay aguas grises ni negras. El llenado de agua fue improvisado, pero funcionó

A aimé Absolute gem of a find! Crotty’s Lake Campsite is everything you’d want in a getaway and more. The setting is stunning, peaceful, perfect for relaxing or exploring. What really makes it special are the people running it; they couldn’t be nicer or more welcoming. From the moment you arrive, you feel at home. The atmosphere is warm, family-friendly, and full of good energy. Kids are happy, adults can unwind, and there’s a real sense of community.

If you’re looking for a campsite that combines beautiful surroundings with genuine hospitality, this is the place. Can’t wait to come back!
