Lucinda responded quickly to all enquiries. Lovely little bush camp for people with dogs. Fire pit was lovely and very clean compost toilets. So accessible to the little river and the lovely aqua pool. Certainly more expensive than most of the NSW parks but we haven’t used hip camp before.

Very nice Area! Lots of Wildlife and the journey to the little River was fun and a medium hike level. Our puppies absolutely loved it there and like to swim and run around. Very spacious areas so campers are not on top of each other.
Communication between myself and Luvina was easy and clear. Would definitely recommended and would love to stay again.

Directions and map were clear and the property is conveniently close to small towns / shops. The large dam looked inviting but we opted to go to the pools which was a 20min walk or so innthe heat, but definitely worth it is gorgeous! Composting toilet near site 5 was supriprisingly clean.

We enjoyed our stay at The Secret Getaway. The road into the camp ground was easy and accessible for 2WD cars. We were allocated camp #2, which had full exposure to the sun, so it got really hot on a 40deg day we were there.
But it didn't dampen our experience. We didn't swim in either dams (water was a little muddy) and Aqua Pool and Little River was about a 20-25min hike.
Luvina and Victor were great hosts. Instructions were clear and they were very responsive to msgs.
Would recommend it for families.

This is our second time visiting The Secret Getaway! This time we came with a group of friends and our dogs! To say we had a great time is an understatement- even with the 40 degree heat. Thank god for being able to swim in the dam. The sites are flat and easy to access. Since we went last time they have put in a flushable toilet which is a nice little addition. The composting toilets are perfectly fine though. Highly recommend this camp for big groups or just a quick getaway for a couple!

The campsite at Buxton was really lovely to have a true bush experience. We had a site with a fire pit which we enjoyed, and it was very close to a dam, which was lovely to cool down in a float around in on our Lilo's.. We are new to camping We're amazed at how clean and well thought out the toilets were.. the most amazing dropout I've ever seen with everything you need. We had an amazing walk to the aqua pools.. It is a quite a big walk and I recommend sturdy shoes and even aqua shoes for walking in the river.. It was a great experience and the children loved floating down the river and jumping off the rocks. The campsites were far enough away from others but enough to know that you weren't alone. It was really great for a first time.
Also checking in and out was easy. Highly recommend..

We had a fantastic stay at Two Shores Holiday Village and would absolutely come back again.
It’s a smaller, quieter park which we actually really appreciated. While there isn’t a huge amount of structured activities for kids, the pool more than made up for it — it was beautiful, clean, and easily the highlight of our stay.
The amenities block was spotless and looked recently renovated, which made a big difference. Everything felt well cared for and maintained.
We were originally allocated a site that would’ve been a squeeze for our very large tent (8x6m), but the owners were incredibly helpful and moved us to Site 10 without any fuss. That site was perfect — spacious, easy to access, and ideal for a big setup.
Friendly management, great facilities, and a relaxing atmosphere. We’d happily recommend it to others and will definitely be back!
