Wrinkles camp is only one site, so no neighbours, with over 10 acres to access other areas for walking or bird watching. We have horses and cattle and it is a quiet and peaceful spot to kick back and relax.
Peaceful van site or can pitch a tent, with toilet, shower, lights and electricity, all under a fully paved shed with seats.
Enjoy a great fire pit in front of shed, with hand made log seats. Well behaved dogs allowed on a leash, as we have dogs and other animals on property
The single campsite (yes just the one site) overlooks a large dam with jetty. Horses and cattle roam around out the back. Feed the wild birds such as duck, parrots, kookaburras, and more.
Just 5 minutes from Smiths Crossing for fresh water fishing, canoeing or swimming or go to Moore Park for a swim, surf or take the bike and use their great cycling paths. Other beaches close by are Miara, Norval Park and further away are Winfield, Baffle creek and the iconic Agnes Waters and 1770. All great spots to fish or crab.
The Avondale Pub is 1km away with great meals and drinks, and the Bucca Pub is 10 minutes away with weekend entertainment. Jo's road house is just up the road and has all the essentials food wise with great pizzas, and fuel. Next to Jo's is an RACQ centre and mechanics. All this at your fingertips or just kick back and enjoy the peace and quiet in amongst the large gum trees and native lemon scented gums.

Loved our stay at VietJess farm. Beautiful views, huge grassy sites, a lovely springfed lake, and plenty of space to walk our 2 little dogs. Hosts Jess and Andy are so friendly. We had the pleasure of walking thru Jess's lovely plant nursery and our dogs were intrigued with their goats, pigs, ducks, and chooks. Jess's coffee is amazing. Will definitely be back

This was a great location for a peaceful break. A wonderful outlook across paddocks and a dam. A catch up with the cattle who were very friendly and keen for a feed. So quiet, with power and water as well as flushing toilet and strong shower. We cooked over the fire within the firepit and thoroughly enjoyed the stay.

Great place ,plenty of room. We were a party of 6 +1 child and a dog. 3 vans and cars. Jess is very welcoming, she took us around and let us sample all the different fruit and told us what each plant was. We did the cooking class was great. Also Vietnamese iced coffee. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Nice big dam with kayaks to use. Definitely be back.

Peter put us up in a great spot overlooking a few other vacant spots which were a bit closer to the river. The option for a warm shower was welcomed after our very rainey and wet drive thus far.

Kolan Retreat was awesome. We stayed for 3 nights there and wished it was longer. Peter was an awesome host. He was good with communication. He was a busy man but when you ask for anything he would be there within minutes. Toilets was always clean and the shower was a bonus. Most unpowered camp sites you go to would only let you have cold showers but at Kolan Retreat. You are looked after. The campgrounds are very clean and flat. And felt very private. If you don’t like crowded camp sites then Kolan retreat is your go to. The Fishing and Crabbing is bloody good. Good catch. Was awesome to see the cows walk around and Will definitely be going back there in the future.

Kolan River retreat is a wonderful place to stay and it’s very obvious the effort the owners have put into this property to make it very comfortable and convenient for campers. The facilities are fantastic, hot water showers and pump toilets which are so clean and well maintained. Boat ramp access is a bonus and the wildlife is abundant. Plenty of room in between camps and campfires are allowed. Our dog had a ball hanging out with the friendliest cows. We will be back for sure.
Thank you Peter and Melinda for our stay.

The owners were incredibly kind and genuinely lovely, which made the experience even more special. Overall, it was an unforgettable stay and worth every single bit of it. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back in a heartbeat!

Lovely camp-site. Toilets and shower always kept very clean. Big open space. There were quite a few other campers but they were so far away it didnt matter.
Watching the bat migrations each night was surreal.
We didnt venture through the mangroves to swim/fish or go down to the boat ramp as most other campers had boats and we assumed it would be busy. But overall we had a lovely relaxing time. The dogs loved it.

Jess’s place is incredible. Jess is amazing, the place is so well kept, Kayaks for use, heaps fire wood dropped off for $10, lots fruits grown in the orchard and super friendly goats and animals to pat. The place is stunning, quiet and sheltered. Our dogs loved being able to swim, and having some privacy and quiet time was perfect. Will be visiting again!! There aren’t amenities yet, but worth the stop.
