1 night at Jarabin on the Murrumbidgee

This was our second time staying at Jarabin - it’s one of our family’s favourite HipCamps. The property is beautiful and quiet, and we ordered the BBQ pack again which was brilliant. Instructions to access the property are very clear and easy to follow. Although the weekend ended pretty wet, the weather held out long enough for a post-dinner swim in the river with the sunset in the background. Pretty close to perfection!

Wow, I travel extensively throughout Australia with my Campervan and this is up there with best sites available. Right on the Murrumbidgee River, theres only 3 campsites, all spread avout 100m apart to ensure privacy. Campfires permitted and catered for and Ben even provides Black Angus beef and accompanying wines for those keen to sample local produce. Will return ASAP. 5 stars and a must visit. Highly reccomend.

A beautiful riverfront campsite- it was just magic waking up to the running river water. We only stopped in for a night but would definitely be back. A gorgeous, very well cared for property and hosts were easy to communicate with. Suitable for beginner campers and just as enjoyable for experienced campers like ourselves. The campsites are within reasonable proximity to each other (you would be able to see your neighbours) but not right on top of each other. Cars do also drive by during the day maybe 50m away, so not 100% private, if that’s what you are chasing. That would be the only negative if you were wanting to be remote.

This property is amazing. The views are fantastic, the stars are beautiful and the river is so serene. My pup and I had an amazing time at Ben’s place, and highly recommend this stay. I’ll be back for sure. The sites are well spread out, but in terms of longer stays, I’d recommend bringing ensuite toilet for more privacy! I only stayed one night so this wasn’t a problem at all.

What a spot! Stunning waterfront camping. What we loved is that people aren’t jammed in but instead plenty of space between sites. Next time we will come and stay at site 1 which is bigger. Cows roaming around was lovely although our two frenchies weren’t sure what they were! We also got the meat pack, highly recommend.

Steph’s land is lovely and quiet — a great place to relax and enjoy nature. Everything was easy to find and well prepared, even though we didn’t meet the host in person. Just a few small things to note: there’s only one bathroom, the grassy area is a bit sloped, and the camp kitchen doesn’t have running water for washing up. Other than that, it’s a beautiful and peaceful stay!
