We had the most amazing Easter camping at The Nile and have recommended to all our friends. Not only is the location spectacular, but as a host Jacob was faultless. Nothing was an issue even though it was the busiest weekend of the year. Thank you so much to Jacob and his beautiful family for sharing The Nile with us!

We loved everything about the place, so peaceful. Able to see the starts was one of the highlights for the children. They also enjoyed feeding the farm animals, getting the taste of real countryside living. Jacob and his family are lovely people. We would definitely be back.

We had such a lovely time tent camping at The Nile! The hosts were super friendly and welcoming, and the space was perfect for our group. The soil was great for pitching tents, and we really appreciated the dedicated fire pit area. Having Wi-Fi available was a nice bonus too. Would definitely come back! 😊

The Nile 2
We loved camping at The Nile. Host Jake is very helpful and accommodating. Instructions and directions were clear and easy to follow. Toilets and showers clean. So much space to spread out despite there being quite a few other groups there. Jake organised a dawn Anzac service at the lookout at the top of the cliffs which was beautiful. We all loved the drive up to the top and the spectacular views. It was quite rainy on our last day and Jake kindly lent us a radio to ensure we got through the unsealed roads safely as there is no phone reception. Unfortunately we didn’t have enough time to enjoy the spa but we will definitely be back and already looking forward to it. Thanks again Jake!

We loved camping at Jacob's Upper Nile family off grid. It was the perfect spot to balance nature, necessities and a few luxuries (hot showers,in and outside, flush toilets). The camp site was a great experience, close to Wallabies, safe place to make fire, etc. Jacob is a great host, went beyond what we expected . We'll visit here shortly again.

We liked The Nile so much we stayed an extra night! Our kids (5 and 10) loved the animals on the farm and the Jacuzzi was a real treat! Jacob was such a lovely guy and very personable - he really looked after us. Loads of campsites to choose from - some walking distance to the hot showers and flushing toilets and others much more private but still close to portaloos. We are already looking to book again and take our friends next time! 10 out of 10 for us.

Relaxing, spacious, picturesque. Kids enjoyed the hot spa, shower and toilet facilities and feeding the chickens and cows. Jacob is extremely friendly and accomodating. We would definitely go back again - caters for large groups and camper trailers as well as small groups and tents! We ran out of time but there are trails on the property to explore on foot or 4wd. Tranquility and fresh air at its best!

We loved our stay at the Nile! Upon our arrival our host Jake set the tone for our stay with a warm welcome and plenty of smiles and laughs. Our family loved the property’s scenery with rocky outcrops, mountains, bushland and a lovely swimming hole. The site we stayed at was flat and there was lots of room for our little ones to run and explore nature. The amenities offered were clean and accessible to us across the property which is always a bonus. The Nile definitely suits people looking to unplug and unwind in peace and was worth every cent for the peace and privacy offered to us by our hosts. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway this property is a must! - Our family can’t wait to return!

We stayed 3 nights at Jacob's land. Overall it was nice experience. Not that crowded during the Easter period. Has hot water shower, toilet is relatively clean. You can feed the cows and sheep, the view from Jacuzzi is amazing.. It's quite remote, and we love being far from the city/town. #closetonature

We stayed over the Easter Long Weekend and had a fantastic weekend. Jake was wonderful, going above and beyond for all campers. All amenities were in great working order and we thoroughly enjoyed everything this property had to offer. Jake took a whole convoy for a 4wd trip up to a local lookout which was absolutely stunning. We were a little concerned about over crowding based on our experience at other hipcamps but we were pleasantly surprised that we could really only see/ hear one other camp site and had a heap of space to ourselves, everyone was very well spaced out ensuring a great deal of privacy. We would definitely recommend The Nile to other campers and we will happily stay again!
