Lovely spot. Very quiet. Perfect for those wanting a low-key getaway. No services - no water or power - but the plus is that you don't have to share a busy campground. Easy walk to the river. Too far to walk to the beach, but a short drive back to town/main road.

Weekend Trip to The Riverside Farm Escape Minimbah

We had a lovely time at this serene and peaceful campsite. The place was quiet and calm, with mesmerizing views of the river and a picture-perfect lily pond. The toilet facilities were clean and well maintained, which made our stay even more comfortable. There was a bit of faint noise from the highway, but it was hardly noticeable and didn’t disturb our sleep at all. Richard and Roslyn were wonderful hosts and kindly let us choose our preferred campsite since most were available. Overall, it was a beautiful and relaxing experience, we’d definitely love to visit again!

Weekend Trip to Delhuntie Park -Edens Canopy-

What a beautiful spot! Marg and her husband are wonderful hosts: helping us with navigation and set up as we arrived late in the evening after a storm. Their site is surrounded by trees so you hear all types of birds as you fall asleep. So peaceful and relaxing. Thank you for having us!! We'll be back.

Weekend Trip to Camp Elim

We visited Camp Elim in with a large group of 10 adults and 10 children and had an amazing experience! We were given two sites right next to each other with a beautiful view of the lake. The location itself is stunning, and the facilities are genuinely five-star. The toilets, showers, and bathrooms were spotless — honestly the cleanest public amenities I’ve ever seen at a campsite. James at the reception was incredibly helpful and went out of his way to accommodate our group’s needs of a secluded and private spot. There’s plenty to do here — a basketball court, fun activities for the kids, and a well-equipped communal kitchen. I also really appreciate that it’s a non-smoking and alcohol-free campsite. As a Muslim family, this made us feel very comfortable and safe — no rowdy behaviour or loud parties, just a peaceful, family-friendly environment. I noticed some negative reviews mentioning the no-alcohol policy, but for us, that was one of the best parts about this place. We’ll definitely be back again!
