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.

Easy access for any size rig, cabana with large table, firepit with logs to sit on and heaps of kindling about. Handy tree stump for chopping your wood. Huge area with a nice river to park nearby. Nearby highway didn’t produce anywhere near as much noise as we thought it might. Nice stopover.

Peter is lovely, welcoming and communicative. The property is easy to find with his directions. There is lots of space, some fire pits and green grass. Also a lovely, well mannered dog you might get lucky enough to have visit!

Nice camping location. The river was a little discoloured from the recent rain but would be ideal for summer camping. Good directions to the Hipcamp and easy to get caravan into. Fire pits were provided which made it slightly more challenging cooking with a camp oven but placing underneath the raised fire pit worked perfectly. Great host. Free use of a kayak along with plenty of firewood to use from the property. Even solar lights came on at nighttime. There’s noise from the highway from the many trucks which took away a little of the ambience but nothing that kept us awake.

Peter was a perfect host! Clear instructions & he met us upon arrival to share some hints about where to park up. Peter's property is gorgeous. We parked up right next to the river, set up, not too much to do as we were only staying one night, had a wander along the river, firepit, drinks & tunes. It was perfectly relaxing & just what we needed after our son's wedding the weekend before. Thanks again Peter for your hospitality, we will definitely stay again when we're in your neck of the woods. Karyn & Kyle.

It was lovely and quiet. It is great that they do not pack the grounds so you feel secluded even with others around. Great location to beach, bakery, coffee shop and coastal walks.

We just got back from the most amazing stay at this Hipcamp and I can’t stop raving about it! The campsite is perfectly set along a beautiful, river that’s super easy to access — it felt like a hidden paradise. The kids had an absolute blast in their Timmy’s in the river adventuring in the waterways every day! The camp setup was really thoughtful too — spacious, clean, and private, with plenty of shade and room to spread out. At night, we sat by the fire under the stars while the river softly flowed nearby. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The hosts were incredibly friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. They even gave the kids tips for navigating the river, assisted with firewood. The river has access via pontoons making it’s so easy for us adults to stand up paddle boarding! If you’re looking for a fun, safe, and beautiful spot to let the kids run free and enjoy nature, this place is perfect. We’re already planning our next trip back! Thanks Pete

I recently had the pleasure of spending some time at a wonderful camp that truly captured the essence of outdoor adventure for families. The open space was perfect for kids to run around and explore, and the nearby river was a highlight for everyone. The children absolutely loved swimming, boating, and even trying their hand at fishing. Although we only managed to catch a few eels, the excitement and joy on the kids' faces made it all worthwhile. One of the best aspects of our stay was the ability to have a campfire. Peter, the camp host, was incredibly accommodating and made our experience even better. He was available whenever we needed him, offering assistance and ensuring that our stay was as enjoyable as possible. Overall, this camp is a fantastic spot for families looking to enjoy nature and create lasting memories. The combination of open spaces, a beautiful river, and Peter’s supportive presence made our experience truly special. We can’t wait to return!

You’re close to everything in the area but will need a car. You are surrounded by beautiful bushland with the distant sound of the ocean. Lots of room with no campers nearby.
