Quiet camp area on Creek bank. A short walk down the bank to shallow to mid depth running water, perfect to sit and chill out in, or watch the kids splash around. Plenty of shade down by the creek. It can be a steep or slippery walk down to the creek, depending on the weather and if the creek has recently risen or flooded. Easily accessible by 2WD as long as its not too wet. Suitable for tents, caravans, RVs etc Dogs allowed but must be supervised at all times and chained/locked up at night or if being a nuisance. All campers must be fully self sufficient.

ABSOLUTELY NO reving of vehicles, burnouts, skids etc of any sort!!! Music, talking , yahooing, barking dogs etc must be kept at a minimum at night to respect other campers and near by residents.

Old Stump

100%
(56)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 20 · Vehicles under 32 m
Old Stump camp is a well maintained grass area on the creek bank. The land is slightly slopped and uneven with some flat areas. The creek is just a short walk down a clear but slightly steep track, but very doable for most. This is a more private area, suitable for campers who don't want neighbouring campers or if you want an area for a large group. Please note that there is a track that passes along side this area that may be used by campers from further up that want to go for a walk or by us travelling by vehicles, motorbikes or even horses from time to time on our way up to the other sites or paddocks.

Creek Bend
We really enjoyed our stay at Creek Bend. The campsite felt private and peaceful, and it was lovely listening to the sounds of the creek and birds at night. We accidentally entered through the wrong gate when we arrived, but the host was incredibly helpful and quickly pointed us in the right direction. The grounds are clearly well maintained, the grass was lush, soft, and comfortable underfoot, unlike some campsites where it’s dry and hard. We didn’t even need to put our outdoor mat down! One thing to note is that it can get quite windy, so make sure you secure your awning properly. Overall, it was a great camping spot and we’d happily stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Creek Bend. The site was beautifully maintained with easy access to the creek. There was plenty of space to set up, along with some welcome shade. Communication with the hosts was excellent. We’ll definitely be returning.

Gumtree Camp
We loved camping here. The directions are clear and easy. The camp sites are well looked after. If you’re looking for more of a private camp away from people definitely book the gumtree campsite. If you’re coming in a massive group or wanting a flat area that’s quite large but don’t mind being around other campers book the creek bend site.

Plenty of space and so peaceful… Just what we needed. The camping area was mowed and level, and the fire pit was a great addition. A short walk down the bank takes you right to the river, with a nice flat pebbled area to access the crystal clear water.

Stayed at Gumtree. Second time we've stayed at Buddai. Nice spot, soft grass campsites with no need to pull out the camp mat. Friendly owner who took the time to say hello and check in with us. We have a 22ft van + large ute and the sites are easy to get in and out of. Still have mobile coverage on Telstra which is important for us. Can definitely recommend!!
