    Amazing views! All the spots are in a gravel carpark, which does not have any shelter - we have a rooftop tent so the wind was an issue when setting up, but dies down by the evening. Delicious food in the bar and great showers/facilities for free.

    Very nice views & peaceful. You can also find awesome food at the lodge and a cool mountain trail biking. We loved it.

    LOVED this place, unpowered spots are just in the gravel car park but wow what a view. Plus we stayed on a rainy afternoon and the lodge was such a cosy lovely place to hang out, especially at xmas. Hot showers good, food and drink at bar are great, although friendly staff made it clear we didn’t have to buy anything since we’d paid for a spot! All around great vibes, staff are so friendly and fun, and of course Dunney is a legend. Great wifi

    Loved this place. Camper spots are just in the gravel parking at the bottom of the lodge, but we hardly spent any time there anyway. We came here to wait out a rainy afternoon ready for a hike the next day and couldn’t have loved it more. The lodge is super cosy, so perfect at Christmas time or in the winter. As you pay for a site they made it clear you can hang out in the lodge without buying food or drink which is lovely, but we got tempted into it anyway lol. As mentioned, Dunney is a legend.

    Lovely spot. The lodge is cosy and staff are lovely. decent facilities including potable water tap at the front. Not really any space for dishes.

    After reading the previous comments we had extremely high hopes but we ended up finding it expensive for what you get. It’s a gravel car park at the bottom of the drive to the bar/facilties. The bar/restaurant was good and the staff were very friendly but I’m not sure I’d suggest going out of your way to stay unless you’re wanting to use the mountain bike track. We paid $54 for 2 for a powered site.

    “Hi there! Porters Lodge camping area is not the most typical place to park you camper van - as we are at 1000 meters elevation, the alpine surroundings are quite rugged and simple. In our opinion the great mountain views and being out here in the middle of nowhere make up for it, but we understand it's not everybodys cup of tea. Our pricing is displayed on Campermate app and our website, make sure to check them in advance to assure accommodation suits your budget.”

    Positives- amazing staff, great food and drinks, awesome view, cool games room and atmosphere. Negatives- no actual tent sites, just a dusty, dirt patch no good for your tent floor. Ended up booking a doom room bed for the night instead which wasn't ideal as it was more expensive. Wouldn't come here with a tent but a camper if fine.
