Everything about Everlong Hipcamp is sensational. The drive in, nature such as wallabies, bird life and platypuses. If you’re keen to do some night spotting in the river with a torch you’ll sight eels and small bodied native fish. The well grassed campsites are outstanding with plenty of room, fantastic views of surrounding mountains and camped up right on the river. Activities galore like exploring the river in the suppled canoes, swimming and catch & release fishing. And would you believe, fire pits and wood is supplied. If you’re into the outdoors and getting out and doing it or just relaxing, this place is for you. The host Anthony is a top notch down to earth great Aussie bloke. Highly recommend this Hipcamp.

The perfect place to relax, get away and escape the busy life style and enjoy the peace and quiet. I would definitely recommend and come back. Thanks Ross and Lisa

Weekend Trip to Big Island Bend on the Clyde River

Just had a great weekend camping and relaxing at Mark’s place. Soft, grassy, flat, cleared campsite overlooking the river with tall gum trees. Solar shower and flushing toilet a total luxury as well as the huge campgrounds only being able to be booked for one tent - privacy! A few lazy boats going by, a great little swimming/kayaking beach and some short walks made for a very nice bit of time out. The road in and out was perfectly fine, might be a bit slippery on the hills when very wet and I wouldn’t bring a caravan. Thanks Mark for making it available and all the effort that clearly goes in to maintaining such a large space.

Weekend Trip to Clyde River Camp Grounds

Clyde River Campground is in such beautiful location. We stayed for a night in our campervan on a powered site. Right on the river it was a really relaxing stay. The grounds are well maintained, the facilities are basic but all that you need. Very peaceful and tranquil location. Great if you have a boat as you can access the river from the boat ramp on the property. We also had our dogs with us which was no stress. The other campers also had dogs and all got along very nicely.
