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.read less

The camp is located in a great spot, far enough away from the town that is was peaceful and calm, but close enough that we could easily walk too and from the beautiful shops and cafes. There are many great walking tracks near by to explore beautiful Bright. The toilets and showers were always clean and the staff were so helpful and kind! They clearly work hard to make everybody feel welcome at the campsite. I would definitely recommend, we will definitely stay here again!read less

I took 10 14yo boys mountain biking and you could not get a more perfect location. It’s basic but the important amenities like bathrooms and showers are great. It’s the best location to Mystics MTB park as well. Thank you again we will be back.read less

We all enjoyed our stays and the river that runs along side is awesome and a gr8 spot to cool off in the hot months. The camp is old and the on site amenities are adequate. The egg and bacon rolls served at the cafe are very nice indeed. Location is spot on with a short, easy walk into the town where you will find lots of shops, cafés, bars, restaurants etc. If you are into mountain biking then this is the place to go. Will definitely return in the future.read less

We have been turned away from other campsites in Bright and are hopeful for a generous tree to camp under as we wait out the predicted rainfall over the next couple of days. By now we are starting to cool down and need to get out of our wet gear, our options are dwindling and Covid still means limited capacity even if there is space available. Within minutes a padlocked door is unbolted and we are shown a room where we can pitch our tent on the floorboards or outside under the veranda if we prefer! The lidded wooden banquets along the walls resemble communal mountaineering huts where rucksacks and equipment are stored inside and hikers sleeping bags are laid out on top. Perfect! A quick sweep of the floor and we’re all set. The afternoon is spent under the wide veranda chatting to other campers as they pass by, skirting puddles and barely avoiding the torrential downpour that has set in. The feeling is very convivial and relaxed. We are at the bottom of Mystic Mountain, a hub for mountain bike riders of all ages. And the setting is an old forest school camp that began life as a series of loggers huts in the 1930’s. I’m not sure whether a comment at reception about ‘quarantine huts’ is a recent or historical reference (or maybe a joke?) The grounds have beautiful established trees, both European and native species, creating a really calm setting. There are no paved roads on site and the casual layout avoids the deafening scream of ‘welcome to suburbia’, which seems to resound from the gridded uniformity of many branded campsites. Instead, this feels like a memory of municipal camp-grounds in rural Victoria before they were all sold off to managers, when an ‘honesty box’ was nailed to a tree and someone would be around to collect the fees. Camp Crusty won’t appeal to everyone. Those that decide not to stay will leave a negative review and those who do stay, will return. Our experience was one of kindness and hospitality. We were certainly not disappointed!read less
