Weekend Trip to Tipsy Hill Located at Walker Flat

My family and I absolutely loved camping out in our caravan right next to the water and waking up to the sunrise each morning reflecting off of the cliff faces of the Murray River. Our host Susan was lovely and very informative of the area amd even let us borrow a small row boat to explore the lagoon with.

Lovely space to get away from everything. Jenna and her two children came to say hello and gave us some carrots to feed their horses. Nice area in Milang Bay and only a short walk to a few shops, cafe, takeout and pub. Thanks Jenna :-)

Went away for a relaxing weekend and got exactly that! Friendly host, perfect camp-site riverside, the only sounds were the birdlife and frogs. Boys fished, I birdwatched and the dogs lived their best life exploring as the property is completely fenced. We even had a kangaroo come to observe us at the fence. Perfect weekend away and have already booked our return trip! Thankyou Susan for sharing your property with us 😊

Wonderful private river front camping. Friendly and accommodating host. Dogs allowed - a great bonus that area is securely fenced with a gate so doggos can explore freely without the worry that they will wander off.

A beautiful spot to just relax. Plenty of flat space to set up, sit down and take in the water view, the wildlife and at night the stars. Hosts were super easy to communicate with. It is exactly what we love about hipcamp, access to absolutely stunning spots without the crowds. Would definitely recommend and love to return.
