We had a wonderful stay at this campsite! The facilities were clean and well-maintained, including the toilets and showers. The hosts were extremely kind, welcoming, and attentive. They informed us that it is a nudist-friendly site, but emphasized that it is not mandatory—very considerate. Overall, a lovely place with a warm and friendly atmosphere.

You will not fault this hidden gem. It is just absolutely stunning. If you love nature then this is all you could ask for. It is Peaceful, warming, it has privacy and most definitely you feel at home. I camped with 3 kids and we loved every moment of it. Reconnecting with nature is the most uplifting thing you can do. Kim and Andre are just amazing host, they shared fresh herbs and eggs which made us feel very apart if them. Just beautiful people all round, we will definitely be returning.

Beautiful natural spot, 20 minutes from Atherton, magical. Nicest composting toilet I've ever seen :). I would suggest taking your own drinking water rather than boiling the river water on site, as the surrounding farmland probably leaches a lot of agricultural chemicals into the river.

This is an outstanding hip camp!! One of my absolute favorites, the new toilet is amazing, space to spread out and the lovely sound of water in the river. I really can't fault anything, Oliver came and said hi and really has set up this spot for campers to enjoy. I am so thankful to people like him allowing people like us to come and stay in their slice of paradise.

This is a beautiful campsite that you essentially have for yourself. Comes with all the amenities to make travelling easy. Had a comfy bed in a heated room, little fridge for the essentials, reasonably well equiped outdoor camp kitchen, plenty of firewood and a much needed hot water shower. Our daughter loved the sandpit, the toys that came with it and enjoyed walking around wild flower picking. The dog enjoyed being on a runner and walks down to the creek. Kim and Andre were amazing hosts, and were ready to support when needed. Highly recommend and look forward to going back

What a wonderful spot to stay - private and relaxing beside the river - great sound of flowing water at the rapids. Glancing at its finest with shower and toilet provided. Good campfire area set up - though we experimented with our hiking fire stove as in pictures beside campfire pit. Hope to be back - it’s just a lovely soul reviving spot. Plenty to do for kids as well with plenty of area to play games and run.

Love love love what Andre and Kim have set up at the back of their property. Our stay exceeded our expectations, the camp kitchen, the comfy bed, linen, the ghost gums, firepit, outdoor shower, Kim generously sharing her home grown produce, the gas heater to warm up the suite on those really cold nights. We’ve made lots of new family memories as a result and feel oh so relaxed.
