Weekend Trip to MT. L Bush Camp

Absolutely loved our time here, had the whole place to ourselves. Renee had a fire going already on our arrival and was very accommodating to our need for a later arrival. Waking up and listening to the birds and the wind was very relaxing, nice walks around the area too.

Weekend Trip to MT. L Bush Camp

This camp-site is incredible. Hubby and I feel recharged after our amazingly relaxing weekend at ML Open Paddock Camping. Renee was so flexible with our undetermined arrival time and as it was a little late they had a fire started for us. We got maps sent to us with how to get to our site, and even walking tracks around the area. We had the whole place to ourselves too. Hubby and I was just blown away with the hospitality and price. Seriously this is a place you should not drive past. We will definitely be back to explore more. Thank you 😊

6 nights at 1770 Eco Camp, Agnes Water

We stayed at 1770 Eco Camp, Green Tree (top of the hill) campground for 7 days/6 nights over Christmas break 204. We got a family glamping tent, although not as spacious as we thought, it can fairly accomodate a mid-to small-size family of 4 like ours. The setting, the surroundings and the view are breathtaking. The tents comfortable enough with 12V/USB power ports available in the tent as well as 2 little fans to help through the heat of the hottest hours of the day. The nights are as tranquil and peaceful as one may ever wish. The facilities are really good, brand new toilets, showers, shared kitchen and so it is the campground that is well kept and looked after. There is a beautiful deck facing the Eurimbula National Park for yoga and fitness activities as well as a covered Pavillion for functions and/or sun bathing in the late afternoon. Right next to the deck there's a magnesium pool (small but gorgeous) where unwind before of after the beach. Everything was fine and the close proximity to the town centre of Agnes Waters and it's pristine beaches makes it even more attractive. Only negative: in my opinion the management should do more to enforce the rules (of common sense) within the campground itself as many guests plainly ignore them for lack of basic civic education. I get that it's hard to police every single person but as a hospitality establishment, the deed of educating their clientele is on them, to preserve the reputation of the business itself.

The glamping tent was great and super convenient, a little bit hot during the days, but that's where the amazing pool was super handy. So relaxing floating in the Infinity pool for hours. Highly recommend this camp ground, lots of amenities at your finger tips and made cooking and keeping food and drinks cool a breeze. Shout out to the amazing and super friendly staff! 10/10 will be back again, Thank you 1770 Eco Camp.

Great spot, would recommend cooler weather for the next person. Bring heaps of insect spray and fly spray due to the March Flies. Beautiful place, nice and quiet.
