Sam and Jo’s farm is absolutely amazing. It’s very close to Tyrrell Lake, which made it so convenient for us to return to the campsite and relax after visiting the pink lake. Sam and Jo are incredibly warm and friendly—not the usual distant kind of hospitality. From the moment we booked the campsite, they showed genuine care and thoughtfulness, which made us feel very welcomed.
They have three dogs on the farm, all of them very friendly. One of them, Sunny, is especially cute and lively. During dinner, a black sheep even came over to interact with us, which made the whole experience more fun and memorable.
After dinner, we stepped away from the lights and were completely blown away by the breathtaking Milky Way stretching across the sky—it was truly stunning.

An absolute gem of a site. We loved our stay in Gurra gurra.
The reeds and willow tree give the site privacy and beautiful shade but still allow access to the river for swimming and river watching.
Plenty of options for set up, we chose to set up our tent on the flat area near the willow tree. Our dog enjoyed his weekend away too.
We stayed over the Easter weekend, so there was a lot of activity on the river, but the site still felt private. The campfire was great to cook our meals on too and the extra firewood option was ample.
Thankyou Michelle, Chris and Willow for sharing this special place, we can't wait to return.

Lovely spot. Campsites are on the edge of a small oval under several tall trees. Flat level ground makes pegging out a tent really easy. There is a dedicated toilet/shower for those camping and the river is any short walk away.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had no trouble getting our 14ft caravan right down to the riverbank and getting it level. Lots of shade but still plenty of sun for the solar panels. Was very private and relaxing. Plenty of trees to put up hammocks. We hired a canoe and took our kayak. Was a beautiful spot to paddle up and down the river. Lots of birds and heaps of fish (although we didn’t do any fishing).
Instructions made our arrival super easy and Michelle was very helpful and friendly. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will definitely be returning often!

It was a great spot by the river. We kayaked, fished, swam in the river and cooked our dinner on a little firepit under the gum trees. There was a compost toilet on site and the area was flat and easy to set our caravan up on. Berri town was 5 minutes drive away perfect for last minute supplies.

We loved our stay. Michelle was so accommodating and were left to enjoy the serenity of the river. We swam, SUP boarded, used the boat and tried to fish - but we are not the best fishing experts! Our furbaby loved and enjoyed her stay.

It’s a great spot to stop over for a night. The cooler spot by the river was canopied by gumtrees so I felt it wasn’t a safe option to camp beneath them. There was a flat area up from the site, along with a compost toilet, which I used. Some prickles in the grassed areas so take care if you have kids/pets. The site is viewable to the nearby road. Whilst traffic wasn’t an issue this did remove some security comfort for me being a solo traveller.

I had the best quick night away in Gurra Gurra! The site was peaceful, well shaded in the heat and secluded from other campers. My Jimny parked up right by the river where my dog and I spent the afternoon soaking in the river breeze! An amazing stay and a great host.

Lovely little spot just next to the river. Clean. A few earnest power boat owners but as expected. Quiet at night and no idiot temporary neighbours. My greatest fear with camping.
