Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What a great find. An outdoor camping shop offering good quality , good value clothes - woolen sox, woolen underwear, and great overshirts. Worth a visit to get away from the chain shops offering less than high quality outdoor gear.

They helped me work out which jet that I needed for my old gas camp stove. They sent it quickly and now it is all repaired. I had been looking for months. One phone call and it was all sorted. Thank you .!

Sorry for the delay in our response. I have only just seen it. David our gas jet and hose specialist has a wealth of knowledge regarding old camping stoves. He really enjoys trying to solve customers problems with their gas camping stoves or lanterns. We are glad to hear that everything went well with your purchase and that you will have many years of happy cooking.

A happy shop that were happy to make a sale and help us find what we needed. With a lot of camping competition in town opposite the highway, they try to do their best with customer service

This is one of those stores where you go and get served by people who actually do know what they are talking about. They sell quality gear and very competitive prices. A locally owned and well operated store where you are treated like a real person. The will sell you what you really need to do the job, not like many of the chain stores.

I went to Bairnsdale Camping and Outdoors looking for some fibreglass rods for a dome tent. The staff member was very helpful, looking for, explaining and comparing my options. In the end, they didnt have what I needed in stock but referrred me to another store. They offered to order in what I needed if I couldn't find it accross the road.

Thanks you very much for your positive review Ian. Sorry, that we couldn't help you on the day. It has always been our position to send a customer to our opposition if we can't help them. That way the customer gets a positive outcome and any money spent in Bairnsdale stays in our town. We hope that you have many more years of service out of your dome tent.

I couldn't find a new pair of jets for my Primus stove until I found Bairnsdale Outdoor and was pleasantly surprised to find what I needed. Just one email to them and I received the parts in the mail a couple of days later. Couldn't be happier.
Highly recommended.

Thanks Greg for your kind response and review. David has a real passion trying to help people with hard to get gas jets for camping stoves. We hope that your camping stove is cooking up a storm.
