Beautiful spot right next to dinner amazing natural features including a wonderful little creek. The facility's are very clean and in fantastic condition. The location is well signposted and easy to find. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The sites are flat and dry and have their own fire pits. Well worth a visit!

Absolutely stunning site nestled in a valley with a creek alongside surrounded by hills and rainforest. Friendly staff. Wide open spaces with incredible stargazing. The Milky Way! Peaceful. Creek walk to a waterfall - need gum boots to wade up the creek. Great facilities including: - hot, clean showers and bathrooms with shower gel, shampoo and hand wash provided - laundry with detergent - camp kitchen with various equipment, crockery etc - outdoor shelters with tables and chairs, and fairy lights at night - fire pits - power (if you need electric hook up) - kids playground Will definitely be returning. :)

Disappointing for us
11 m pop-up camper ¡
Unpowered site Campsite 2
We left Oasis of Hope a day earlier than we planned (booked). The amenities are good, perhaps better than expected. However there were a couple of disappointments. - "Unpowered site Campsite 2" is a smallish campground that could be used by several campers. While it is close to amenities, its right on the roadway through the property, and not far from residences. It certainly does not feel private and the photos on the listing show another campground on the property that is not actually open for use. - We are birdwatchers and bush walkers. Apart from the adjacent national park (which is 4WD only) we found access to places that interest us to be quite limited. There is a demanding creek walk on the property, but that is not really a winter activity for us either. So, a combination of the camping areas not being what we expected, cold and wet grass, and limited opportunities of interest, meant we didn't enjoy this location.

A camp ground right next to the creek, surrounded by the most beautiful trees, a sauna with spa with a walk to a waterfall 90min there and back. Lars and his team are the friendliest most accommodating people you could ever meet. What more could you want from a camp ground? It was the perfect place for my friend's bridal blessing and we are all already talking about a redo.

lovely location but unfortunately we needed to leave due to issues with council consent for a hip camp in the upper portion of the site. everything was so well thought out and considered , hope they get this matter resolved so the location can be enjoyed. The site instructions and emails and booking =s should be much clearer or campers should be met on site and directed to the relevant location for camping.
