Poley's Place offers a serene camping experience right by the river, with many campers appreciating the friendly hosts and the well-maintained grounds. The site is spacious, allowing guests to find a spot away from others if desired. However, some visitors noted that during peak times, it can feel more like an unorganized caravan park due to the crowd. Facilities are generally clean, but there were mentions of limited bathroom amenities and poor phone reception, which could be a consideration for some campers.

Great site, right on the river. Host was very welcoming. Recommend booking directly with host. There is a poleys place website with contact details.
Night sky is amazing, sites are clean and you can easily find yourself one that isnt too close to others.

Yes we loved the camp ground. Although it's pretty disappointing that hipcamp charge twice the amount and don't pass the funds onto the caretakers. Anyone wishing to camp here. I'd highly recommend calling the caretakers at Poleys and booking direct. It's a beautiful camp and very well maintained.

Loved our stay at Poley’s Place. Great camp spot right by the river and very easy to find. Awesome facilities on site. Bec was super friendly and quick to communicate, not to mention the amount of work she puts into the land—beautifully cared for. The river was the perfect place to cool off. Highly recommend! We and our dog Maxy didn’t want to leave. ☺️
I have mixed feeling about Poley's Place, the kids enjoyed the river but I felt like it was more of an unorganised caravan park then a place to go camping. We were there over New Years and the river bank was packed with people. I was told there is phone reception - which there was but Telstra internet only worked early in the morning (up untill 8am) - so basically no mobile phone internet. We were also told it was "first come best dress" for a site so there is a change you would miss out on the river front - which we nearly did, we had to get creative with a site. Due to the amount of people there it's disapointing that sites were not marked out.
The only only difference between Poley's Place and a caravan park is - for the price we paid ($99 per night) - at a caravan park the site would be alotted, mains power avalible and more things for the kids to do.
Up the road is a council reserve - river access is not as good but is a fraction of the price, I hate to say it but we won't be coming back to Poley's Place.

Great relaxing spot. We spent a relaxing few days. Loved swimming in the river with our dog.
Happily recommend and will visit again.
Great host, an amazing piece of land with plenty of room. We came on the days up to NYE so it was busy but still enough room to spread out. Really enjoyed our stay and will be back!

It’s a great spot with nice camping grounds. Bec was very welcoming and gave us clear instructions about the place. While the hot showers aren't directly in the camping area, they are just a quick walk away. You can find wood nearby for a bonfire, but it was much easier for us to just buy some from Bec. They also have animals that our 3-year-old really enjoyed. We had a great time fishing and getting into the river. Overall, it's a really nice place!

We camped there the October long weekend, so naturally it was busy, however we still managed to get a spot right on the river. Despite being busy, we weren't camping in each other's pockets, like at traditional caravan parks. It is an amazing spot! Our kids spent the day floating down the river, they absolutely loved it.
Had a wonderful time at Poley's beautiful location right on the river. Bec was a fantastic host, and I would highly recommend staying at Poley's. Excellent, 5-star experience.

The amount of space available was amazing, we were able to pick a spot away from other campers. The toilet and shower facilities were very clean and convenient. We cannot wait to come back in summer and use the river to its full potential!
I loved my visit to Bec's camp friendly, close to Gloucester and nice warm shower.

Such a beautiful setting.
Despite the damage from the recent floods, there were still heaps of great spots to set up camp.
Will definitely be going back again
