A very beautiful place with an incredible view of the river, very peaceful except for the noise of cars on the road at night. However, I really liked this place for camping. I think I will return.

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.

There was a large variety of bird life around. It was a lovely secluded spot, our dogs enjoyed paddling in the water and running around playing. Caught some fish and fed them to the pelicans. Very relaxing, look forward to visiting again in the future

Gooses Pond is a lovely peaceful camp in a large paddock with spectacular views. Sites were well spaced, so quite private. There was a flushing toilet as well as an undercover area to use. Firewood is available to purchase and host Billie-Jo was so helpful and friendly.

My wife and I came for a night away and were amazed by the huge open space! Was great to be able to see the hills, watch the helicopters come and go and even say hello to the cows. Great to see there was a functional toilet to use as we were camping in our swag (I would recommend maybe a light for inside the toilets when it’s dark). Great little shelter provided that we were lucky enough to use for the night to keep out the sun, as we just had our swag set up. Pet friendly was a bonus for us- the dog loved being able to adventure around! We’ll be back for sure, this place is a hidden gem. Thanks Billie-Jo!

Susan's property is the perfect place to relax and recharge mentally. This weekend saw plenty of fish caught, an abundance of birdlife, 2 happy hounds and 4 well rested adults 😄 this was our 2nd visit and we plan on returning many times. One of our favourite hipcamp spots!

In all honesty, when I was first asked to leave a review, my initial thought was no — simply because the place is so good I didn’t want to share the secret with anyone else! In all seriousness though, this spot is absolutely awesome. We had a camper van so we were well set up, but the location itself is what makes it so special — secluded, surrounded by lush green fields, with the most incredible backdrop of the hills. It was peaceful, relaxing, and honestly just sublime. We didn’t know exactly what to expect, but it exceeded every expectation. There’s a little shed that provides shelter plus a toilet that was super clean and actually flushes (I was half-expecting a long drop, so this was a very pleasant surprise!). The host was so friendly and accommodating, which just added to the experience. We’ll 100% be back — in droves next time! If I could offer one small suggestion, it would be to add some comfy seating in the sheltered area — maybe a couch or a few cushioned chairs. We brought our own fire pit and camp chairs, which worked perfectly, but a cozy seating setup would be a really nice bonus. Either way, this place is an absolute gem. Thank you so much for having us — can’t wait to return!

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 😊

Tipsy Hill is the perfect place to camp with your dog. Private fenced site with a small jetty ideal for fishing and swimming and not having to keep your dog on a leash. The hosts are very nice and leave you to do your own thing.
