RV/tent site · Sleeps 4 · Vehicles under 25 m
The collective noun for kookaburras is a flock or a RIOT”. This site is spacious, level, and perfect for larger vehicles, trailers, and RVs. Set next to a stand of gum trees on the edge of the pasture, it’s a quiet and relaxing spot. A short trail nearby takes you through the bush to a creek—great for a quick dip or a bit of exploring. “RIOT” offers a simple, peaceful stop where you can rest and recharge surrounded by nature.

I loved camping at the kookaburra. The cows and horse walking around the campsite. And the peace and quiet to relax and enjoy the Kookaburras laughter.

RIOT
We had such a lovely stay at Kookaburra: Riot site. The location was easy to find & very well signposted. The Riot site was easily accessible by 2WD vehicle in dry and light rain. It’s’ beautiful country with the swimming creek so very close by! We loved having the cows and horse nearby also, as well as actual kookaburras. The camp site was clean with lots of flat space to pitch our tent. The pit toilet was very well kept, (particularly given it was Summer). Christine was very accomodating of a late check out on Sunday afternoon, which we greatly appreciated.

We loved our 3 days at Kookaburra! Peaceful spot with a creek to cool off. So many places to explore close by. We chose Bushman’s Clock and saw so many birds and the friendly cows and horse that roam the property.

Camping here was so peaceful, the kookaburra name really rings true, hearing so many kookaburras and other native birds throughout the day. A beautiful piece of paradise.

the Bushman’s Clock
We loved camping at The Bushman’s Clock at Kookaburra, we want to live here ourselves! A beautiful spot of farmland nestled in the woods, sharing a field with a friendly horse and cows. Easy to find, just off the Highway and only a short drive to towns and beaches all around Jervis Bay, so it was an ideal location.

We loved our tent site ' Good Luck' in Kookaburra farm. Creek was at stone's throw. Open and Serene. Kids loved watching horse, cows/calves, chooks and all. 2 mins off the highway. Owner was prompt with any queries. Will definately recommend my peeps/family. Thank you for your hospitality, Christine. Mayus

the Cackle
Cackle is probably the best site at Kookaburra, with a nice view of Jerrawngala National Park and the most amount of privacy of all 4 sites. The drop loo is clean and neat. The farm is spacious and neighbouring campers are far enough away not to disturb one another. Cows and horses grazed around our camp each morning.The road noise is not really that noticeable. We had a very pleasant stay and will be back.

This was our first time using Hipcamp, we feel so lucky that our first trip was such a success. We tent camped at the Bushman’s Clock site, very private and close to creek access - beautiful. Thanks Christine for an easy process, we hope to stay again!

We loved this spot, definitely recommend. Easy to get to off the highway. Loved that they have designated sites with so much space! This site has a really short walk to the creek and we spent so much time here. The kids loved seeing the cows and horse so close to our van. We have a 22ft van and had no issues getting in and out. We would love to come back again!

We had a really nice peaceful time Christine's farm at the RIOT site. It was all 30 minutes distance to many beaches and Jervis Bay. The space was big enough that you didn't feel cramped with others like in a Caravan Park. It is truly off-grid so you'd have to be self sufficient and we had a portable shower with us to wash off the beach and sand off us. Would definitely visit again.

We stayed at the Riot campsite and had a lovely time! Loved having the crates of firewood at the gate for purchase, it made our lives a lot easier and warmer when we ran out. Our puppy had his first camping trip here and also had a great time! Would definitely come back :)

Christine's place is everything she described. Quiet and peaceful with an abundance of wild life and some lovely views. The kookaburras and cows were a highlight and the very clean long drop toilet was a bonus. Sites are very very generous, clearly signposted and well maintained. We will definatly be back.
