Woodland campsite is a peaceful, secluded campsite with many thoughtful additions. The campsite was private but easy to locate and access.
We appreciated the two great firepits, a shelter with picnic table, toilet and plenty of space. An easy drive to the Murray River, Bowhill and beyond.
Booking and was so easy and informative, Lynette is a great host. Thanks Lynette, we will be back!

Loved our return trip to Woodland Scrub. There is something magical about this place at night. The stars were amazing on Saturday night!! Woodland Scrub is a great place to escape the busyness of life and get back to basics of bush camping. Being able to take our dogs is an added bonus.
This wasn’t our first trip and guaranteed won’t be our last.

The Campground is fantastic if you like to secluded. It's quiet and peaceful.
The shelter and some camping gear is an advantage. There is also a Kings solar battery to charge phones or plug in a fridge. We would definitely stay again as we liked the surclusion and peacefulness.

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 was a great experience for us at Woodland Scrub.
We were on the road trip from Sydney to Adelaide and on the day 4. There was no internet connection, no view of nature but trees and red sand on the ground. But we liked this property was private and quiet. This campsite is a great spot for camper who spend time with someone who you love.
Doing campfire is available. Loved this place.

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.
