We thoroughly enjoyed camping at Gums at the Billabong site at Sandy Creek. It was stunning scenery and we got to see some beautiful bird life. The outside bath was amazing under the stars. There is ample space and this particular site is very private, which we love.
I have already recommended this site to many others.
Thanks very much to Cameron and Christina for the excellent communication and respectful approach.
We particularly enjoyed getting to see the jets flying over, doing practice formation from Amberley Base, this was an extremely exciting surprise. They definitely were not intrusive and not early in the morning so it was very exciting during the day.

What a cracking site! An easy drive from Fernvale to the property, before dropping down a steep dirt track onto the site. Stick to 4Low, and take it steady, and the site is worth the trip!
Getting back out up that same track will take some berries for those towing anything (camper trailer), but as long as its dry, you will make it up.

Lovely scenic quiet spot. Area has not had a lot of rain thus there was not a lot of water for swimming. We are city slickers - there were 2 horses hanging by a 3 way gate. We were not experienced enough to know that those horses were hanging around specifically to get entry to another paddock. My husband did not shoo them away and opened the gate & one bolted through. We were embarrassed but the owner was understanding. Lesson learned. No network connection which was perfect.

Great camping and really secluded and a beautiful place. Very helpful hosts and responsive.
It is defiantly 4WD only due to the entry to the site which makes it more exclusive.

What a great spot. Was very well maintained. Plenty of room, we even flew our kite. Enjoyed cooking on the plate above the fire. And even has table and chairs under a cover. And had a magical view of the stars. Would recommend to anyone looking for a private spot that's well maintained.

Very quiet, yes does have a road but it’s not that busy and you barely notice it. Clean and well maintained. I will definitely be back. Thank you.

Really well set out campsite - a large covered area with a gravel floor and a table and chairs (a hammock fits beautifully between the posts), a big social firepit, and a separate cooking firepit (fabulous!), and don't get me started on that hot tub...
