Here, you can wake up to a world untouched and wild. Enjoy the thrill of trout fishing in the pristine river that flows right through the property, or simply take a refreshing swim. Watch as kangaroos hop by, going about their day in the tranquil, open spaces that surround you. You may even be able to spot platypus! As the sun sets, gather around a campfire under the wide, star-filled sky, feeling the warmth of the flames as the cool mountain air settles in.
Riverside Private Retreat offers an intimate escape where you won’t be crowded by neighbours - just you, your companions, and the peaceful embrace of nature.

Reconnect with nature, slow down, and let the beauty of this secluded sanctuary renew your spirit.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you on your stay, giving them plenty of space to roam, explore, and enjoy the fresh mountain air.

100 acres of secluded paradise with a kilometer of free flowing pebbled creek.

This is a fantastic space, a little piece of paradise. We had a great time, facilities could not have been better and the owners are very welcoming, helpful and friendly. Couldn't recommend this space more, they've got everything you need. The undercover area was perfect. Great for dogs and groups wanting a private space. Camping with added luxuries.

The Crossing at Wombat Hollow is an idyllic spot beside the fresh, flowing creek.
We appreciated that there was just a handful of sites on the property, thoughtfully spaced for the feeling of seclusion and ultimate peace and quiet. The site was well-maintained, freshly mown, and provided a great firepit and rustic log seating, as well as a quality picnic table.
Host Vallance was responsive, helpful, and made communication easy.
We had a lovely stay, in the company of kangaroos, wallabies, and abundant birdlife (and it was nice to know that the wombats and platypus were also neighbours, although we didn't see them).
Thank you for sharing this special place. We plan to return in the future.

We had a great time staying at this camp. The river is beautiful for swimming and relaxing and we enjoyed exploring it. Having the property to ourselves was amazing and the shed was a great bonus when the weather turned. Tom was a welcoming and communicative host which made finding the property and using utilities a breeze.

A well maintained site with fantastic facilities. The huge undercover area was fabulous during our stay as we had rain on and off and we were all able to gather together. The undercover fire place and pizza oven were also enjoyed. We brought along our inflatable SUP and Kayak and were able to use these in the river, however be mindful there is motorised watercraft using the river also. We had a really enjoyable stay with our family. (3 couples)

Wow such an amazing campsite. Had the whole place to myself most of the time I was there. Campsites are very spread out. So much wildlife around, went for an early morning walk and saw lots of wombats. Had the best time camping with my dog. Great communication from Vallance, easy to find. Can’t recommend more!

We stayed at Dad's Camp at the end of January - was a truly gorgeous spot and we had it completely to ourselves - all the sites are very private and a long way from each other (we couldn't see the next campers). Kids loved having their own creek to play in, the water was the perfect temp and deep enough in parts for a proper swim. We were lucky to see lots of wombats - even a baby with its mum - and the birdsong in the morning was magnificent. Vallance gave us great instructions - the site was easy to find. Kids are already planning their return.

Really great property and we enjoyed our spot and the privacy it offered. Only morning shade so we recommend a gazebo but we spent the days down at the river. The picnic table and fire drum were great additions. Star gazing was fantastic too! We hope to return to try another spot next time but highly recommend Pecan.
