Excellent spot to stay. We have a large caravan and dogs. The hospitality was great and we had a lovely meal at the hotel. The beach across the road was brilliant for the dogs and we would stay there again.

A bird watchers paradise with over 48 species at your doorstep.

Great location and only a short drive to the beach. The camp itself is pretty simple but it’s what we expected when we booked. I would say to avoid this site if you have a low clearance 2WD as we struggled a little bit to get out with our campervan. Overall we would stay again purely for the location 😊

Close to the airport plenty of room to camp, nice and flat land. Midges so do come prepared for that. We arrived late in the evening and left very early in the morning. No toilet, no power and no water - be prepared for that too. No trouble contacting host was friendly to deal with.

Fantastic spacious area to pull up for 5 nights, conveniently located to explore what the Bay has to offer. Getting in the gate was a little tight in our 21 foot caravan but still doable, we will definitely be back. Cheers

This camp is a beautifully rustic, peaceful bush camp, with ponds that light up at night with solar lights. It has a large kitchen and undercover area with tables and chairs to host personal events and more. The kookaburras are quite cheeky too. This camp is nice and quiet and I would definitely recommend staying here.

Childers Nature Camp was a wonderful place to stay for a few days to explore the area of Childers, Woodgate, Burrum Heads and just to chill around the property. There was so much space, camp kitchen and portable toilets and shower. Fires available and plenty of fire wood. Will be back

We absolutely loved the 4 days we spent on Logan's Acerage. So peaceful and relaxing with abundance of birdlife and big Kangaroos bouncing across the property. The one thing to note there is NO hook-up water even though it is advertised as that. Logan was happy to let us fill up our water tanks for our caravan from his house. Would definitely like to return one day and have no hesitation on recommending this lovely property.
