What a beautiful camping ground, it’s so peaceful, with the river and birds, love being with nature. It’s kept clean and very tidy. Amazing people who run this camp. We stayed in our caravan for the 1st time here it’s a beautiful spot to unwind relax with nature and the hot pools. We will be back for many stays.

Had a wonderful time at Sapphire Springs camp ground in early August 2024. Such a hidden gem, and amazing hot pools. Super friendly staff and just awesome vibe! Highly recommend!

Probably one of the best campsites there is. They have mini-golf, playground, pools, hot tubs and trail. You will never run out of stuff to do. If you happen to set up a tent by the creek, you will be lulled to sleep by the running water. This place is so chill and very kid-friendly. The staff are also cheerful and helpful.
