A beautiful private piece of land over looking the Oxley River, with access to the river for swimming, fishing and fossicking around the rocks, while relaxing around your campsite taking in the views of the mountains. Its only a short distance to the shops for supplies. And it is part of a working cattle farm.

Great location for groups/families.. Plenty of space between sites and very peaceful. Porta-loo and bins available. Owners were very friendly and came every day to check supplies in toilets and empty bins. Great creek for kids to swim in with turtles but path down can be tricky and slippery.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely loved our stay at Oxley View! The views were stunning and the whole place was so peaceful—perfect for relaxing and switching off. The owners were friendly and attentive without being intrusive, which made us feel very welcome. Swimming in the creek was incredibly refreshing, and kayaking was a great bonus. A beautiful spot we’d happily return to and highly recommend.

Sites are well maintained with fire pits, rubbish bins and the best stocked Porto loos we have ever come across. Bit of a climb down to the swimming hole so keep that in mind, and non slip water shoes are needed.

We absolutely loved staying at this property. The sunset was magical and the stars were amazing. Sleeping among the kangaroos was also a real treat. If you do stay, be sure to bring bug spray as we got eaten alive.

Good location- 10/15 mins from Coles and IGA, river was very enjoyable(walk down is not accessible to everyone - have to walk on a ladder). Portable toilet was very clean and stocked with toilet paper.

Such an amazing spot. My partner and I booked last minute and Chris was extremely accommodating to us. The river that runs through the property is absolutely beautiful so we enjoyed a few swims in here. (Definitely recommend bringing a floatie) There are only a few sites available so we were all spread out and had plenary of space. We will 100% be back. Thanks Chris!

Stayed at Chris’s campsite over the weekend—top bloke. The spot was matchless, and the river was a beauty… even if we didn’t catch a single fish. Great place, good vibes. Cheers Chris.

What a gem of a Hipcamp. This is a must place to stay, offering both powered and unpowered sites. Brianna was amazing explaining walks, swimming areas & general information on the village within 5 minute drive. The shower & toilet block were immaculate. The surrounding hills with view of Mt Warning were beautiful, if you are looking for peace and quiet this is the perfect spot. Thank you for a beautiful stay, will definitely be back.
