The Pod Campervan Rentals
Great company to deal with!
Very happy with our van - no mechanical problems at all and we were provided with everything we needed for the trip. Had 10 trouble-free days exploring :)
Thanks guys!!
Thanks guys - folks having trouble free holidays are what we like to hear about! Look forward to seeing you again :)

Below Zero Ice Bar
Really enjoyed this experience - the ice glasses made the cocktails very delicious (although not convinced there was much alcohol in them...I had 2 in 30 mins and didn't feel any effect!).
Fun thing to do and obviously a great photo opportunity for the folks back home ;)

I know, it doesn't have the best views (or indeed any views in many spots) BUT this really is a fantastically well-run campsite.
Stop here if you want immaculate bathrooms (yes - a whole modern bathroom to yourself!!!) and to catch up on the washing and cook up something larger than an egg! We went back later in the trip and invited mates for a BBQ - that area (covered) is a fab resource. Maybe I should keep that quiet ;) Thanks to the couple who own and manage it - well done for providing such a spacious campground.

Hummm...what to say?
We honestly don't mind paying a lot to stay near town BUT this really is a glorified carpark. There aren't any boundaries between the parking spots, so was only just enough grass between us and the huge camper next-door to put the chairs up. We were right next to the BBQ area so about 2 metres from a group playing games. One bathroom between lots of campers and the bathmat was completely sodden by morning. My advice, honestly, is have a drink downtown, grab a Ferg Burger and a few bottles and get to Moke Lake early instead!!!

Moke Lake Campsite
This was absolutely the best place we stayed in 10 days - and the last night annoyingly!!!
We got there early, about midday, which would be my tip to get a perfect secluded spot by the lake. Be prepared for a bumpy 30 mins getting too it but it's not steep, just bumpy. Swam in the lake a couple of times (it's January) and we could hear other people around but hardly saw a soul, so you get the illusion at least of camping in the wild. Your pass isn't valid, which is a bit annoying, and they def check you've paid!!!! Put a good bit of deet on and you'll be fine :)
