Amazing, quiet little part of Tweed Valley.
We would definitely come again. Our dog was happy. We could rinse off and enjoy the creek, though it was low with no rain for a while. The sunset walk was the best part.

Beautiful and secluded spot just outside of Mullum. Plenty of shade and very quiet. Will definitely be back! Doggie loved it too.

This was a really beautiful property! Definitely recommend site 1 as it was beautiful and the most private. We could’ve spent all of our time down at the creek, it was lovely. Also definitely make sure you take a shower. Sounds nuts but the plants around while showering in warm water was 👌🏽

Great spot. Lower camp is a lot more accessible to the creek and with more shade options

It's a great spot and we had a lovely weekend. Minutes from Uki town, the pub, Clarrie Hall Dam, awesome swim at Byrill Creek down the road.
A couple of things were a little annoying so have to provide an balanced review.
I advised Bob we had "two large caravans and five little kids" and at his suggestion booked the lower spot next to the creek. Zero chance our 22 foot vans were getting down/up the hill. Suitable for offroad campers only. Luckily another group had arrived at the same time and were happy to swap. Couldn't get Bob on the phone but he called back an hour later and was very apologetic (genuinely seems a very nice guy).
So we setup in Upper Windmill instead (paddock above the creek). Clearly the paddock hadn't been mowed in weeks - grass was a foot tall, which wasn't the best for our little kids to run around and play. Also no firewood on site but I should have asked earlier. The road is not intrusive at all - it's a quiet road with only local cars and dam visitors driving past.
In summary, would still recommend. Better communication would have avoided some stress upon our arrival and check the paddock has been recently mowed.

A beautiful spot, perfect for lazing in a hammock and an afternoon swimming in the stream. Perhaps a little on the exy side with no facilities

What a beautiful, peaceful site. We camped down by the river loving the birds and cicadas. Toilet and shower are simple but sufficient. Would definitely come back again!

Bob was a great host, very friendly and helpful. We loved the creek and spent most of the day floating. So peaceful and quiet.

We loved our stay at The Haven - we stayed on the river flats site which had two sites, both with plenty of space. It was very peaceful and watching the bats on an evening was a special treat! Would definitely recommend!

Great place to have some R&R. Spacious sites - only 3. Very short walk to the creek where we floated in our tubes. Water not very deep but definitely refreshing on a hot day.
Nice walk to the dam, then further tracks through the bushy surrounds of the dam. Uki township and pub only minutes away. Lunch at the pub was excellent. Will be back for sure. Thanks Bob.

Amazing spot with an inspiring veggie garden and nice creek. Probably one of the best showers I’ve ever had, showering surrounded by plants is a truly unique experience.
