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.

Great bush retreat

Unpowered campsite
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.

Very peaceful and tranquil. We chose a private unpowered area on the creek. Great facilities for getting away from the usual crammed in van parks. Would revisit.

Great little find off the beaten track. Great place to unwind and relax. Spacious cabin right on the river was a perfect location. We had a friendly pet dog who spent the weekend with us and came on our bush walks. Recommend a visit to explore this little gem.

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).

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 :-)

It's a caravan park not a retreat
Group trip ·
Unpowered campsite
Not a positive experience at all and not at all what was promised in the listing. They state over 200 acres so you can be isolated and 'basically go anywhere', instead we were directed in a cramped small cleared area near a dry creek, other campers just meters away running chainsaws plus generators and loud music well past midnight. The host ,when contacted, brushed it off and told us to return when not so busy. They obviously had taken on too many campers than what their property could accomodate to keep with their advertising. Don't be fooled into thinking it is peaceful, we didn't even stay in the crowded powered section near the billabong where they had most people allocated to sites crammed even closer than most commercial caravan parks I have been too, we were in their 'isolated' unpowered self contained area that was still packed with campers and more turning up by the minute trying to cram in. They are very commercial with big signs up as a veterans retreat with public welcome. Which is all well and good if that is what you were expecting, but it is not what was advertised on this hicamp website. We felt they falsely advertised their set up for those like us seeking a remote getaway on a remote property, not a commercial caravan park like venture. When I tried to make contact with the owners I was told to come back when not busy, how am I supposed to know when they are busy? Maybe they shouldn't have taken so many bookings if wanting to keep to their brief and keep campers like us happy! They take bookings from their own website, people off the road passing by seeing the signs as well as hicamp. Wouldn't recommend if a quiet retreat in the bush is what you are looking for.

Great location and facilities

Our stay was amazing! Colin and the team are friendly and helpful. Will be back and will book direct with the owners via their website. Will not be booking through hipcamp. Hipcamps booking did not go though to the team on the system and hipcamp also charged us incorrectly resulting in almost double what we should of paid and charged us for our child when they were free. Bring back youcamp.

Great area - don’t use Hipcamp

Great area, people and campsite - don’t use Hipcamp when booking - they don’t understand kids and veterans discounts. Book direct with place for a better deal and better service.

Had a fantastic time at this retreat. Its far away but close enough to Miles. The long gravel road to the retreat is epic. Lots of walks to go exploring on or just enjoy the peace and quiet. Ammenties are very clean. Staff are very friendly. Love this place highly recommend.
