Blue Gums River Retreat

We had a wonderful time camping here. Unfortunately it was only for a 1 night but I would definitely recommend it.

Top Tier Riverside Camping

This was a great little place to camp with the kids. Having a boat ramp on the property was a nice bonus, the owners were friendly and the sites were well maintained. Would happily book here again in future

Camping with dogs

The camping grounds are beautifully maintained, loved that there were no prickles so barefoot from water to camp easy. And toilet also maintained exemplary.

Blue Gums River Retreat

Great camp by the river

Great campsite right beside the river. Lovely and peaceful Fireplaces at each campsite. Good Firewood for sale on site. Hosts were friendly and courteous. Very clean toilet which was checked and cleaned twice a day. The site we had and those close to it were flat and suitable for vans. Sites are large. We had a caravan and a slide on camper, both with awnings, on our site and we could have fitted a couple of swags with plenty of room to spare. Great access to the river for swimming and fishing. Well worth taking a kayak or SUP if you have them. Would highly recommend this spot. We will certainly be back.
