Only smalll annoyance was the length of the grass in the camp areas.

Mulgrave River Camp

Perfectly Picturesque

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 nights at Mulgrave River Camp. The views over the River from our site were spectacular and everything around us was luscious and green. Chandell was a fabulous host, very informative and responsive. Our site was enormous, secluded and quiet - blissful away from the hustle and bustle. Regular visits from the sheep, access to water on the other side of the farm and we used their private boat ramp to put our tinny in too. It rained during our stay so the farm roads got a little muddy, but nothing our 4WD couldn’t handle. As with most River/farm stays, there were a few mossies. A bit of repellent and closed doors helped keep them at bay. We fished with bait from the banks and managed to catch mangrove jack, trevally and catfish, all decent sized and a lot of fun. We would definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet escape in a picturesque location. Thanks for having us!

Mulgrave River Camp

Loved our stay.

Loved our stay. Hosts were very friendly and happy to answer all our questions about the surrounds and wildlife. Showed us pics of crocs they had spotted recently. Right on the river. Surrounded by farm animals. Very friendly pony. Saw dozens of hawks flying overhead when they were cutting the sugar cane. Saw heaps of fish and spotted a croc at night. Son slept for 15 hours. Must’ve been all that fresh country air, bike riding and pony patting.

Camping at Mulgrave River Camp was very relaxing. Chandell was a wonderful host. Our site on the river bank had a great fire pit. Fish jumping in the river after dark was a welcome sound, will take a rod next time we go. Definitely recommend this great camp.
