Primitive camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
We look forward to welcoming self-sufficient campers to our little piece of paradise on the Wambuul - Macquarie River, where campers can- Explore the river's edge in a canoe or kayak. Share the bush with wombats, platypus, emu, wallabies and other native animals. Fish for Murray Cod and yabbies. Enjoy a relaxing walk in the quiet bushland. You will need a 4WD to access the Riverside Campsite or 2WD to use the various other peaceful secluded campsites. There are no amenities on any campsites. We have a strict "leave no trace" policy. Please respect the environment and take all rubbish home with you. No dogs, or other pets allowed. Please bring your own fire pit and firewood. NO chainsaws allowed. See you soon on Rockytop!

Rockytop Riverside Campsite
Second time staying at the Riverside campsite. And it was just as amazing as last time! You camp right on the sandy banks of the river. Other campsites not in view. Its very private. I cant speak for the other sites on the property, but riverside is perfect.

Lee and Adrian were excellent hosts, fabulous remote and quiet camp spot close to the river, we’ll definitely come back to try a couple of the other camping spots at Rocky Top. Thanks again.

Great spot on the river
We didnt stay at this camp site, but ended up staying on the Riverside Camp-site, which was amazing. We had the whole place to ourselves. It was a hot day so swimming in the river was perfect. It was very shallow, but about 20m down stream you couldn't touch the bottom. Would suggest rock shoes, as walking on the sand and in the water can hurt your feet. Lee was great and rang the day before to have a chat about which site would suit best. 10/10.

Rockytop Riverside Campsite
An amazing experience
We had such an amazing time. This property and the waterside sites have to be the best we have camped at in years. Well worth the trip. Owners were amazing and very nice. Would recommend to everyone. 5 stars. FYI. Drop those tyre pressures down for a great creek side sandy camp. We easily parked up beside the creek on the beach with a 79 series and large outback tanami 15 with 3 kids. No issues at all.

Platypus Patch
Had a great time. Sand was more like crushed fine rock could walk on but would hurt your feet after a while. My 6 and 4 year had a blast in the shallow parts of the river and we even saw a platypus. Just be prepared if driving on the riverbank. The sand doesn't compress so we had to winch with maxtrax to get into position we were warned by Lyn Overall was very relaxing
