When you’re caravanning and camping across Australia<\/a>, your bathroom options might be limited.<\/p>\n

Some can be so rancid that you contemplate holding it until you get to the next pitstop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But caravanner Lisa Barlow told Yahoo Lifestyle about her shock when she pulled into an “absolute ripper” of a $20-per-night site more than 500km from the closest capital city<\/a> and saw the outhouse on offer.<\/p>\n

While this place in the middle of Australia looks like nothing special, it has amenities that have been praised by travellers.<\/p>\n

“It was absolutely spotless,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Easy access. Hand-made and clean. The owners, Wayne and Norrie, take a lot of pride in their camping grounds.”<\/p>\n

She said the owners had “old-school hospitality” and were “extremely friendly”, “helpful”, and “welcoming”.<\/p>\n

The campsite is called The Valley and is located on a hobby farm just outside Broken Hill, a nearly six-hour drive north-east from Adelaide, where Lisa is based, and more than 1,100km west of Sydney.<\/p>\n

It’s highly rated on WikiCamps<\/a>, with a coveted 4.9 out of 5 after nearly 200 reviews.<\/p>\n

It has plenty of space for travellers, a few campfire pits, a dump point, and some of the best toilets and showers you can find in remote Australia.<\/p>\n

Lisa praised the toilet and shower areas for being spotless when she visited.<\/p>\n

Lisa and her partner have been driving all across Australia for the last two years, and they have come across some doozies of bathrooms.<\/p>\n

She told Yahoo Lifestyle that she’s had to learn to always check the toilet bowl in case there’s a snake in there ready to pounce.<\/p>\n

At The Valley, the spotless shower and toilet area has been made with what looks like corrugated iron sheets and plywood.<\/p>\n

They’re split into men’s and women’s sections, and judging from Lisa’s photos, they look brand new, which is tough in the outback.<\/p>\n

There’s also a spacious kitchen area boasting a fridge, toaster, water jug, and microwave.<\/p>\n

The spacious kitchen also received rave reviews.<\/p>\n

Others who have stayed have also raved about the “top-notch” amenities.<\/p>\n

“Clean facilities, great spacious showers and a good camp kitchen. Bush camping but with hot showers,” said one happy camper.<\/p>\n

“What a spot,” added another. “Highly recommend. Toilets, showers, rain water if needed. $20 per night with a beautiful sunset to top it off.”<\/p>\n

“Shower and toilets are immaculate,” wrote a third.<\/p>\n
