Awesome spot!!!
We arrived in my small Mazda 2 no worries. Camped in 2 swags. Amazing quiet spot, excellent access to the river. No need to bring fire wood plenty to purchase for $15 a bag. Nice clean porta loo which was a nice treat. Definitely be back with the family when it’s a bit cooler, was hot but can cool off in the river.

Great stay! Water was awesome in the hot weather, great paddocks that are well maintained and sites are well spread out. 4wd recommended though, as we had a bit of trouble getting out after some wet weather. Wonderful place otherwise

We loved our return trip to Blue Gums River Retreat. The area was clean and well maintained, as were the provided portaloos. Access to the river was great on the big pontoon and in the heat it was an absolute life saver. Tracey and as friendly, helpful and professional.

Really well maintained camping spot that had a lot of space around you. The river was absolutely great and all the greenery around us was just so beautiful.
