Ali & Jo have a great, open block with sites that are somewhat partitioned off from the main house and the other campsite allowing privacy during your stay. They met us at the gate & then allowed us to enjoy the serenity of the creek while we were there. Good location, close to the Sunshine Coast & perfectly set up for those that have their own amenities. Hope to come back again!

What a lovely spot for a few days. Clean mowed sites large enough for a family of campers. We kayaked (our own inflatables) every day, but all the sites on the water had kayaks or boats waiting for guests to use. Great kids playground, so will bring the grandkids next time.
We were warned about midges but we didn’t notice any. We did wear repellent every day though.
A bit of rain around the first day (still managed a kayak) and we managed to light a fire the second night which was nice at dusk with a sundowner 😊

We really loved the large open sites. Even though there were several others staying there at the same time you felt like you had the place to yourself. Beautiful lake views and absolute lake frontage. We'll definitely be back.

Kris's space was fantastic, isolated, wrapped in nature and still has the amenities for the small comforts. Was a great stay.

It's a lovely spot. My site (area 2) had no shade, so a tarp is essential.
I'll definitely revisit.
I actually stuffed up my arrival dates, but Belinda & Shane accommodated me without any hassles.
Great spot

We had a lovely weekend camping and swimming at Bushy's. The toilets were clean, the grassy campsites were well maintained and we made the most of the firepits and picked up a bag of wood. We loved going for a paddle and swim in the lake. It is easy and relaxing and we will be back.

Riverdell is an amazing spot. We stayed at The Knoll, and the views were absolutely beautiful. The area was so peaceful, an the campsites were spaced far enough apart that noise from other campers wasn’t an issue at all. It was really private and relaxing. Directions to the campsite were easy to follow. We’d definitely stay there again, and bring along friends too
