"Great experience from booking through to post visit! Highly recommend the place for any type of trip. The customer service is great, food fantastic for camp food ( salad selection like nothing we have received else where) and the choice of activities was great. The Cabins were all very clean and warm. Yes the water is slightly different(not City water) but very safe to drink and lots of filtered water units throughout the site. Everyone had a great time and shared great stories since their return. Thanks PGL Campaspe downs"

"It's not that bad, but in my school many people got sick and had covid because of this. The cabins were very dirty but the bed were good and the bathroom as well. I got to say that our bathroom had no glass wall to shower and had no locks to lock the door! Everyone needs privacy you know? But anyway, the food wasn't that bad but it was terribly disgusting I got to say. Please make your food better or hire a better chef! AND YOUR WATER!! The activties weren't that bad though."

"We really enjoyed our Year 4 camp at Campaspe Downs. Everything was well organised, and the staff went beyond my expectations to make our stay comfortable and engaging. Regardless of the weather, there was a great variety of activities for students to do that were thoroughly enjoyed by all. Our cabins were clean and warm, though some were due to be refreshed, they were all fit for purpose. In the dining room, there was a good range of food options and all dietary requirements were met. The morning and afternoon tea each day was a treat, and there was so much food that we didn’t need a supper option. The hot breakfast each morning was a nice surprise that I had not had on previous school camps. Campaspe Down’s spacious grounds were well maintained and well utilised. There were a number of other schools there at the same time and it was easy to imagine we had the whole camp to ourselves as there was very little cross over between groups. Students were excited to see kangaroos lounging in the morning sun on our last day and were sad the camp had come to an end. I look forward to the opportunity to attend another camp at Campaspe Downs in the future."

"Went on year 12 camp last week, and the place overall was good! Food definitely needs to be worked on as many of my peers , including myself, barely ate any of the main meals expect the morning and afternoon tea snacks. Activities were definitely not made for year 12 students, therefore not to fault the camp site, however my friends and I had a very enjoyable time. Kitchen staff were quite rude in the way they approached certain situations, but campsite activity staff were very caring, nice and made the time enjoyable. Thanks you Abby, Shelby and Owen- who is from another PGL camp location. Overall, the place was good. Cabins were alright, but the communal toilets were much better. Food definitely needs working on. We would recommend sticking with very basic foods, as they are harder to mess up and would appeal to many peoples taste buds. Wouldn’t recommend taking any students above the age of 15 to this camp site, as many of my peer didn’t enjoy themselves and many activities where not designed for older students. Activity staff were very nice, however kitchen staff must be re-trained."
