GreyGum At Beattie Creek

Overall a lovely space to camp with horses. The yards were huge and had good grass. The only downsides were that the dam was a fair distance to carry water for the horses, and one refused to drink it at all, and the toilet was really far away. There was also lots of motorbikes being loud on the track next door but that can’t be helped. Audrey was lovely and very accommodating and we will be back again for sure!

We’ve been lucky enough to stay at some absolutely incredible Hipcamps recently, so maybe our expectations were a little high going into this one. Overall it was still a nice enough spot to pull up for the night, but if I’m being honest the price point, amenities and communication left us feeling a little disappointed compared to other recent stays. One thing worth noting is the advertised pony/horse rides. They were a big part of why we booked, especially with a young child, but after a few follow-up messages we found out they aren’t actually run every weekend. When they are available, they’re $75 for 30 minutes — which on top of an $80 campsite fee starts adding up pretty quickly for families. The creek nearby also wasn’t flowing during our stay and looked like it would take a fair bit of rain to get moving again, which was a little disappointing as the water access was another feature that drew us to the property. The toilet situation was also a bit rough. It’s about a solid 10 minute return walk from camp, very basic, and unfortunately not the cleanest during our stay. In the end I honestly preferred risking the neighbours catching a glimpse of my bum during a bush wee instead. The property itself is still peaceful and has potential, but compared to other Hipcamps we’ve stayed at recently that offered better amenities, clearer communication and more value for money, this one just didn’t quite hit the mark for us.

Great-sized block of land with heaps of privacy. We had nine people staying and it still felt quiet and relaxing, while still being close to Kenilworth. Audrey and her husband were great to deal with and very helpful, even offering us firewood to use. Definitely recommend staying here and we’ll for sure be back again.

Nice quiet spot great for our family to unwind from the city. Only 4 mins drive into town for Pizza and Bakery. For some campers the walk to the toilet might be a bit far. We were self contained and had everything we needed at hand including toilet... so didn't really use it. Audrey was very helpful getting us to a good spot on the property and letting us know the best places to go to see around the area. She also helped us out kindly with some extra containers of water so we could take showers in camp. My daughter loved the horses and birds. Great spot, we'll be back

Beautiful Spot

This was a great spot to camp for a few days. Close to town without the noise and bustle of Easter Traffic. Close to so many 4wd tracks and National Parks and State Forests to explore in as well as many other sites to see in the area. Host was very helpful and easy to talk to.

A lovely, green spot amongst the horses! John was very accommodating since we didn’t realise a 4WD was required and found us a suitable spot we could access on the property. The creek running through the property was dry but we found a shallow spot a little way along for a dip to cool down. Close to town if you need to stock up on doughnuts too! We enjoyed a few nights switching off here =)

What a special place to camp! Audrey was supper kind and helpful getting us there and settled. The setting is very beautiful. Even though the creek was low it was clean and fresh, perfect to cool off in (we sat in the water and had a glass of champagne). The horse facilities were more than we expected. The horse yards are easily 15 x 15 meters if not bigger. The creek is close enough to fill up buckets or lead them down there for a drink. Trails were wonderful to access. Plenty of shade in the afternoon and early morning so the camp didn't roast. Added bonus, we saw fireflies in the trees at night! We're already planning our next getaway to Grey Gums. Thanks for having us!

Camping and trail ride

Tent ·

This was the most amazing place I’ve ever stayed at and really can only compare it to something out of a movie. Audrey is such an extraordinary person and host, I definitely recommend taking a trail ride with her. This is a beautiful family owned business and I can’t recommend supporting it enough. The campsite also had a fresh water creek that was perfect to swim in.

This location is beautiful although we were disappointed. For starters the main reason we booked was to swim in the creek as we were camping right next to it. We arrived to a dried up creek which we understand happens but I think this should be disclosed in the camp site add or at least privately messaged. We were notified of a fire ban, so I feel it’s not too much to ask to let us know we are arriving to no water. We also noticed another family leaving when we arrived with floating rings in their Ute. It feels deceiving. The camp spot is also advertised as being on 60+ acres and we did think we would have the opportunity to explore but we only had access to a small portion that just goes in a circle. Like I said, beautiful spot and we still made the most of it. Just a little disappointing

Great people and a pretty campsite. A bit easier access to the site and to water for the horses would make a big difference.

Our stay at Beattie creek with two families and kids was wonderful! It is a beautiful spot, with a flowing creek, with fresh cold water. Idyllic! Toilet is a bit of a walk to get to, so bring one if you can.
