Das Zimmer/Pavillion war sehr schön und das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Die Kosten für die Abholung am Flughafen sind mit 30$ weit über dem ortsüblichen Preis. Ich würde das das nächste Mal nicht mehr mit…
AlisonAustraliaGood game sightings and guides. Food was excellent
NicholasAustraliaRemote luxury close to airport and city.
The cottages are beautifully laid out and comfortable. The food was good and the location was good for the airport, albeit down rather a rough dirt road. That did give the location a remote feel. Great for a lay over…

What we’d check for you here
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Pioneer Camp
What time is check-in and check-out at Pioneer Camp?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Pioneer Camp allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Pioneer Camp?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Pioneer Camp have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at Pioneer Camp?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Pioneer Camp have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Pioneer Camp have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Pioneer Camp?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
