This place is an absolute delight. Very peaceful and welcoming. Me and the kids loved playing with the dog, walking around the property and making use of the shared covered area and kitchen facilities. The shower was a great bonus to wash the sand away at the end of the day. We will definitely be back :)

1 night at Gloucester Tops Riverside Caravan Park

I camped here for a night instead of in a Barrington Tops NP campground (as I normally would) as they offered showering and laundry facilities which I was in need of before another day of hiking. Amenities were clean and tidy, staff were friendly and helpful and there was a variety of unpowered camp sites to choose from. Walking down by the river and feeding the kangaroos and king parrots was a highlight. I loved my stay here and would definitely stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our couple of nights at OKA. Beautiful peaceful location with majestic trees filled with staghorns and a lovely dam with pretty water lilies. The facilities are well maintained and the camp kitchen is amazing - complete with chandeliers and lots of eclectic things to look at. Kellie and Rod were very welcoming as was their beautiful dog Ruby.

We had an amazing time at Our Kindred Acres. It’s really beautiful and the kids had a ball. I love the rustic feel to the place. The outdoor shower was so cool! And not to mention the gorgeous set up in and outside of the big shed. It was so magical at night with all off the lights the kids loved it. It was such a relaxing vibe and we can’t wait to come back!

We camped there the October long weekend, so naturally it was busy, however we still managed to get a spot right on the river. Despite being busy, we weren't camping in each other's pockets, like at traditional caravan parks. It is an amazing spot! Our kids spent the day floating down the river, they absolutely loved it.
