Campers appreciate the spacious sites and the peaceful atmosphere, perfect for fishing, kayaking, or simply unwinding by the water. The hosts, Jamie and Greg, are consistently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness, enhancing the overall camping experience. While a couple of reviews mention potential site proximity, the overall sentiment remains highly positive, with many visitors eager to return.
Arrived to find the host waiting for us, her showed us to our site and where water was available. He also said he had firewood for us to purchase if needed. We had the place to ourselves which was an unexpected bonus. Sites were generous, with a fireplace and views of the creek that were perfect. Access to the creek was good for fishing or launching a kayak. Birds and wildlife were plentiful. We will definitely be going there again
What a great little campsite. Nice well kept large sites. Easy to access. We were visited by beautiful birds, huge kangaroos and watched the pelicans paddling by!! Lovely relaxing place that I would recommend
This is an amazing spot. Would have happily stayed longer if the weather didn't turn against us. Fantastic hosts. Very responsive, welcoming and flexible. Saved as one of my favourite spots and looking forward to returning soon.
A great location with great hosts. We enjoyed our stay and will be back again. Close to the river with a large space for our 2 caravans and a rooftop tent.
Great spots near the water. Heaps of bird life and the sound of the pounding surf in the distance very relaxing. Easy access and friendly hosts. Callie the friendly dog a bonus.
Magic! My partner and I pulled up in a ute and a swag for an overnighter on our road trip. Didn't really want to leave but time wasn't on our side! Beautiful flat grassy space on the water beneath the trees. Abundance of native birds to keep you entertained. The family dog was a treat and kept us company while our stick throwing got stronger as the evening rolled in. Jamie and her partner were legends upon arrival - could have talked all night with them! Thanks guys. Bought wood which was hand delivered in the wheelbarrow for us and great burning. Highly recommend this hipcamp. We'll definitely be back.
Beautiful property! Thank you so much, Jamie. Easy to access on the beautiful waters edge for some fishing. Best feature is being pet friendly having campfires was awesome too.
We loved our stay here! It was picturesque and peaceful by the creek. The campsites are spacious and we enjoyed the birdlife. We went for a bike ride to Crowdy Head and returned via a national park track. We wished we could stay longer to unwind and would love to return another time.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Great campsite right on the water and nicely mowed with fire pit pre packed with twigs - nice touch! The nights stars were amazing and sunset gorgeous over the water. Good distance between sites. Jaimie and Greg were very friendly and great hosts. We definitely will be back! Thank you. 🤩
A lovely spot to spend a night or three. Very quiet and peaceful. The hosts Jamie and Greg are great people. Very welcoming and genuine people. The campsites are really large, flat and easy to access. I’d highly recommend a stay if your in the area.
