We had a really great stay here. The host was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. When we were going to grill, he not only came over to help us get everything ready, but he also sat with us while we grilled and we had a wonderful conversation. He even let us borrow some of his own kitchen equipment when we were missing a few things. Small gestures like that truly make a big difference.

What a fantastic stay, the bloke running the show literally ran us to the camp along side the car… beautiful location. Would stay again

This is a photo of us camped on this beautiful property at Agnes Water, we are having a wonderful time relaxing. Campfire lit, chilling while listening to the beautiful birds. Only a minute down the road is an exquisite coast.

Great little spot to camp. Close to town so very handy. Definitely needed to be self-contained , which we are. Camp 1 is close to the main road but we had no problem with Traffic noise...

Beautiful bush sites with ample space. Basic facilities but well run. Great quiet spot to explore Agnes Waters area and enjoy nature. Fire pits, nice camp kitchen/games area/cubby for kids. Grass Tree pool was the best! Especially at sunset

Not a bad spot to stay for the night. Yes, it's close to the very busy main road into Agnes, but we were out investigating the area any way, and by night there wasn't much traffic at all. Heaps of space too.

Great location for accessing Agnes Water and 1770. Close to road so a little bit of road noise but didn't worry us. Be sure to check surrounding trees as not trimmed so reduces spots to camp unless you want to take a chance with any branches that may fall.

We loved Mark's hipcamp plenty of space to choose from at the upper side n lower side of the dam. Pet friendly can have firepits, there's also plenty of wood around to cut up yourself. No amenities have to be fully self-contained. Would go back.

Good place to pull up. We parked near the road (it wasn’t too loud) and stayed for 2 nights. Big grassy area with a few other vans and motorhomes. Close to the little shopping village for groceries etc. only a short drive into Agnes Water town and 1770. Good price

Well located. Close to beach & shops. Tree limbs could do with a good pruning. Too many overhanging dead branches so you need to be careful where you park. Main road is quite noisy but settles down at night. Would stay again.

Weekend Trip to 1770 Eco Camp, Agnes Water

The photos did not really give an accurate representation of the conditions which were overgrown in sections, and not that well maintained unfortunately, meaning we couldn't pitch our tent so easily. However, everything else re kitchen space, utilities and camp fire, pizza oven were super and we definitely recommend on this front.

This place is in the best spot! It’s private and quiet all night. It’s a short walk to the beach and walking track to the head land. I’ve stayed at 1770 and Agnes before and this site is bigger than most of those it just has a driveway to get down and bush surrounding instead of other caravans. if you’re completely self sufficient and don’t want to be crammed in this place is epic! I would definitely recommend and stay there again! The kids loved it and it was such an enjoyable stay.

Great location, close to Agnes Waters for supplies and plenty to do in the area. Some lots are better than others depending on your camping setup, there’s ample shade and quiet grounds for how busy they can be. Nice tidy amenities and friendly wildlife.
