Perfect place to relax after a fishing trip. Steve has done a great job making his land hospitable, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone staying at Wagait Beach. Steve's communication was also top notch, and I hope to camp at his place again in future.

We loved our stay at Kick Back Camping. The perfect spot to unwind for a few days. Fabulous views out over the ocean and only a short drive into Dundee Beach to access the tavern. Well maintained and the perfect spot for a quiet break.

Such a beautiful spot with stunning beach views! We absolutely loved our stay at Kick back. Dinner watching the sun go down and morning coffee at the beach. What more could you want?!

Long shady driveway opens out into a large cleared camping area with a designated fire pit. Bring firewood.

Camped mid August. Great location. Right on the cliffs. Constant breeze. Enough shade options to move chairs about throughout the day and be comfortable. Easy access to the beach via the cliff top walking track. Quiet and easy camp. There are houses either side, but not too close. Host was responsive and helpful and gate access no problem. Dog had a great time too.

that we have to provide such a positive review that will entice other Hipcampers to stay here - we want it for ourselves! Peaceful, simple with outstanding views, walks and beach/fishing access on your doorstep. Clean, well maintained site with some shade (but great for solar) and a fire pit…all to yourself. We weren’t there 20mins before we had booked another night (good Telstra 4G signal). Outstanding - we will be back again and again!

Awesome little spot for a weekend getaway. Large area with plenty of room for a group. We had 7 adults and 3 children and still had plenty of space. Great little container fire pit area and firewood. Shower wasn’t the best but understandable due to having to cart water in. We took a rubber tub and boiled water and had tub rinse off and kids could have a tub baths which made up for no hot water. We all enjoyed our stay, will come back again.

Loved having the firewood ready for us to use. Great site with power, running water, shower and toilets. Well set up and close distance to the beach. Mostly quiet and private. Looks like the fencing is a work in progress which will be good as it'll make the site feel more private. Huge space for kids to run around and explore.

Ticked all our boxes, seems like it's still under construction, so hopefully in the future it will eventually have a hot tub? but would have been nice to have a shower with some pressure and the option for hot water. Other than that great facilities great location. Great communication from the owner Stephen. Definitely looking forward to another stay for a bit longer than two nights.
