Plenty of space, a little off the main road but a good bush camp. Loved the friendly welcome from the property’s pets - a cat and dog that accompanied us as we explored some of the camp. Great hot showers, basic amenities. It’s a shame that it’s not more popular as lack of use is seeing it a little run down. Unfortunately more people would rather free camp than support some of these great veterans camps.

We absolutely loved this peaceful special part of Australia. The relaxed lay out of each site was perfect for us. We had an RV powered site and was great to have many choices and space. The showers and toilets were perfect and super clean. We loved it and would highly recommended anyone who wants to get away from it all to go and check it out.

We loved our stay in our caravan at Colins veterans retreat. The signage made it easy to find and meeting Colin to check in was a pleasure. Large sites to choose from and the amenities were clean and tidy. Site 1 had the view over the watering hole, spacious, peaceful and private. Highly recommend and will return one day.

We enjoyed our stay in a cabin that overlooked a bushy small gorge. The cabin was well appointed, the beds were comfortable and the showers in the facilities were great. The peaceful ambience of the property was well worth the dirt road drive entrance.

My Father and I had a great weekend in the bush. Camping here, we had plenty of space to spread out and a beautiful view of the waterhole. Colin was very friendly and helpful and it was nice to meet Chuck and Rocky, his dogs. The toilet and shower block was very clean and he also has ice when you need to top up the esky. Highly recommend a visit and we will be back.

Unpowered campsite
Great, quiet spot. Camped unpowered away from the main area. Nice swimming area just down the escarpment. Plenty of space to set up and explore. Host was very helpful. Suggestion to campers going to the same area is to bring pegs appropriate for hard ground (you won't be able to hammer regular pegs in).

Host was so welcoming… the site we had overlooked the mini gorge and river… it was absolutely stunning! A beautiful piece of property in a great location; we wished we had more nights to there.

Nice quiet private getaway. We were only there for 1 night. Would have been nice to stay longer

Away from society
Unpowered campsite
The campground had so much space and so many spots to choose from. Me and my group of 10 had heaps of fun jumping into and swimming in punchbowl creek which we had all to our selves. Though I'd suggest and alternative for booking because the hipcamps site didn't add in the 3rd night discount so I ended up paying 20$ extra. It was no problem tho because they chucked in a complementary firewood bad for the mistake. Was a really good experience!

Great facilities, dog friendly
Unpowered campsite
Great spot to camp, quiet, private, along the river. The common room and bathroom facilities were fantastic and clean, even had a deep freeze for storing ice/cold water. Swimming in the water hole was great, quiet. Dog friendly and off lead if you go further out. Would definitely stay here again. Note, the map in HipCamp gives a neighbour's address. You're actually going a few metres further to the Veteran's Retreat (public welcome), several signs on the road to follow.

Possibly one of the best places we have had the pleasure to camp at for a few nights. A stunning property, clean facilities and just friendly campers and very happy dogs. It’s not your usual camping area as such with no camp kitchen by usual standards. There is a washing machine but the incredible waterhole and gorge make for some amazing walks and exploring. We had our three year old grand daughter there with our older kids and we all felt welcomed.

Loved this place, booked a powered site but ended up on an unpowered site by the creek, so peaceful. Facilities were great. Just a pity we were only there one night

A peaceful, quiet and private campground with good amenities. If you're looking for that country style campsite then this is your spot; a great surprise! You best have some 'snacks' ready for Chuck when he does his routine visits :-)
