Hold it Flats is a 120 acre property that borders the beautiful O'Connell River that has water all year round. Take a walk around the property to check out some of the creatures that have been built out of scrap metal and bush bars that have been built all around the property. There is nice shady trees, green grass and flat camping sites right beside the river with hot showers and flushing toilets. There is plenty of room and some great tracks for the kids and the big kids to ride their push bikes on. The swimming hole is about 2 meters deep and has big shady trees on the edge. There is also enough room for kids to bring their kayaks and have a paddle along the river. We have some hiking tracks up around the hills of our property that have amazing views of the area. All campsites can be provided with their own fire pit. You just pick your spot and we will bring a portable fire pit to you. Fire wood can be purchased at the property. All rubbish must be taken when you, there are no rubbish bins provided.

Rude service
We booked hold it flats campsite for two nights, the day we were meant to come it began to get extremely windy (there was a cyclone nearby that was not meant to hit us but we got the winds and some heavy rain), we messaged the host, Katie, and asked if we could reschedule to the following weekend due to the sudden weather change. Someone messaged back, who said Katie was not available and told us “It’s not windy here”. Yalboroo is an hour away from us and so I checked the weather app and sure enough it said winds up to 55km/hr for Yalboroo which is completely unsuitable to camp let alone set up a tent in that kind of weather. We explained to her and showed screenshots and we got no reply until the next morning where Katie said we could not reschedule or get a refund and told us this was because it was not windy there. She was extremely rude and ignorant towards us and did not even offer to refund the firewood that we purchased. I completely understand a late cancellation resulting in no refund but we cannot control a drastic and sudden weather change and to lie and say it’s not windy just to take our money was unacceptable. Katie could’ve atleast been nicer about it and not reply with short and rude responses. This used to be a good campsite for myself and others I know that would come here regularly but this ruined it for us and we will not be back.

As always Hold it Flats is an excellent camping experience. The creek is beautiful to swim in, immaculately clean facilities. Will return again soon.

We have been here a couple of times and always have an excellent time. The creek was running and was lovely and clean after all the rain. The toilets and showers are always clean and tidy. Great place.

Loved it! Was mowed so my little toddler could run around without worrying. Just a beautiful spot in general. Will definitely be back 😊
