Great location for Mystic , but showers aren’t something my misses likes , if you want a late check out so you can pack up after riding it needs to be organised prior as they always so no even if no one is coming

Love this place! I come here most weekends for the snow season and I camp (unpowered). It’s in a great spot, the grounds are always clean, it’s close to the main town, right across from a biking place and only an hour from the mountains.I have had no issues writing any of my stays. All the staff are really friendly and accommodating, the camp kitchen has everything you need which saved me bringing more equipment with me the facilities are what you would expect from camp bathrooms. You can also hire a fire and buy wood for the colder nights which is great.I couldn’t recommend this place more for affordable camping. I haven’t stayed in the cabins but through talking to other people staying on the grounds, I gather they are all clean and have the basic necessities.

Camp Crusty is a old forestry camp that has morphed into caravan / tourist park . The single rooms are basic but good value ar $38 a night . The room is clean , has 2 beds and a heater and fan .The facilities like the the amenities block are old and in need of either love or replacement . There is plenty of hot water in the showers and the toilets have a good flush. I didn’t use the kitchen .The staff are friendly and helpful . The grounds are well maintained and mowed . The is some new building happening for what looks like new amenities.There is great views of the mountains and the trees make for a restful ambience .The town of Bright is only 5 minutes away by car .

Rustic bush camping in beautiful location and friendly phone staff.The powered site was only just big enough for a camper trailer, tent and car. I recommend bringing a very long power cord or at least a double adapter for your shorter cord.Management are nowhere to be seen, which seems to give many campers license to be noisy late into the night. A text sent out reminding people to be considerate just isn’t enough.If you want modern facilities avoid this camp, but if that doesn’t phase you, you’ll likely be very happy here.

Good camping for those who like their camp pretty basic and rustic but still with hot showers, flushing toilets and easy access to town.It rained heavily when we were there and many sites became big mud puddles and a lot of people appeared to leave early, so beware bad weather if you are in a tent.Option to have your own wood fire is a big plus, and there are plenty of trees around. Nicer environment than the overly built-up resort style caravan parks in my opinion. We would stay again.

It was a great spot and location for a 3-night longer camping. The amenities were fully equipped and tidy. The campsite was neat and spacious enough. They got different options for camping including cabins for affordable prices. I opted for a powered site and pitched my tent ⛺. Must appreciate their free bathroom, and kitchen (with an oven, fridge and BBQs) facilities. They were clean enough and serviced well. The site is pet-friendly and kids safe as well.The location was scenic. For those who wanted to visit Mt.Hotham, Mt.Beauty etc., I suggest this location would be the best to camp/stay.The staffs were really friendly and helpful ????.As a suggestion, I would recommend adding a few kid's play areas and some indoor activities, which may be a little more enthusiastic and relaxing for a few people.Anyways this place is highly recommendable and will visit again soon ????

Have a look at the photos before you come as it's a bit of an older style accommodation.

If you get cold and are coming in winter I'd bring a sleeping bag to be sure. It's on the budget end in terms of price so set your expectations but we had 2 great nights stay and an awesome 2 days skiing up at Mt Hotham. Would definitely stay again.

These guys were excellent during the uncertainty of covid and trying to book a holiday. We ended up having to reschedule at least twice due to snap restrictions, and each time they were happy to accomodate us and be flexible. It's worth noting that when they say the accomodation is basic, it means basic. However, we managed two young kids for two nights, so it all works. It's close to everything in town and the surrounding areas, whether walking, riding or driving and there is lots of room for camping which I would love to come back to try one day.
