Hi guys, let me tell you about this dream caravanning spot we found right by the Murray River! It was just perfect. Imagine heaps of space for your van, like, you weren't on top of your neighbours at all, which was so lovely. And our dogs? They were in heaven! Plus, there was this little jetty, so we could hop in for a swim or take the kayaks out whenever we wanted. Evenings were the best; we'd light up the fire pit and cook dinner under the stars, it was just so relaxing. And clean toilets on site are always a win, right? Honestly, it was just a fantastic, chilled-out place, we're already planning our next trip back!

Blue Gum is a perfect t place to chill out and enjoy life. Fantastic hosts who have kindly opened up their property for the enjoyment of others. Sitting on the Mary River watching the stars at night was perfect. Next time I will take my fishing rod as a lot of fishing were jumping. Had a great time could not fault this Hip-camp. A 10/10 from us. Thanks for everything.

Every single aspect of camping here at this beautiful relaxing spot was absolutely incredible and I couldn't recommend it more. Tracey was so lovely to talk to and so welcoming to my entire family. Memories made! Can't wait to come back.

So beautifully kept and on a gorgeous part of the Mary River. Easy river access via a pontoon. Camp grounds were manicured lawns with amazing river views. Such a beautiful spot!
