This campsite by the Burrum River offers a tranquil and private escape, perfect for those looking to unwind in nature. Guests rave about the ample fishing opportunities, with many catching bream and mud crabs, and the friendly, helpful host Gavin, who enhances the experience without being intrusive. The area is well-maintained with a flat, open camping space, a convenient fire pit for cooking, and a scenic view of the river. The peacefulness, privacy, and beautiful natural surroundings make it a highly recommended spot for self-sufficient campers.

Exactly as described.
The host (Gavin) has an amazing property and is very proud to share it. He made our family feel very welcome and made sure we had everything we needed and knew the last of the land.
Access to the river is a short track down from the camp site itself, and a great spot to wet a line and throw a crab pot in. The main camp area is flat and open with plenty of space to set up as you please. There is an established fire pit which would also suit camp oven cooking.
We had such a good time over the break and recommend this place to anyone who camps self-suffuciently.
Thanks again Gavin for sharing this place with us and just being a top bloke.

Nice quiet spot on the river. If you have kayaks it is accessible down a path but only at high tide to avoid the mud. Lucky enough to have the site to ourselves so perfect for us. Gavin is a realy nice host. We'll be back for sure.

Honestly, couldn't find a better spot to unwind, fish, get back in touch with nature and recharge the batteries. Amazing sunsets, plenty of space to explore and just so peaceful and quiet. Gavin doesn't feel like just a host, he feels like a great mate who gets so much delight from sharing his space with others and seeing them enjoy themselves. I can't wait to make it back

River view & fire cooking 🔥

What a great private camping space!
Plenty of room & open space scattered with a few trees for shade. Nice big firepit & an undercover table that came in very handy on the rainy days, good for hanging our towels out to dry. (We rigged up a rope clothes line).
Nice view of the river & so many birds, lovely spot to relax & get back to nature.
Such a lovely host who checked in to be sure all was well but not intrusive. Brought us some beautiful sweet juicy lemons for the fish we caught & lovely to talk too. Plenty of large bream to be had while we were there (in June); trees made fishing a little tricky, but not impossible lol
We hope to return next time we head north.
Wish this property was closer to our home, we would be regulars ☺️
Thank you for sharing your property Gavin, we really enjoyed our stay ☺️

We had a lovely two-night stay by the Burrum River at Gavin's place. The camping area is flat and open with plenty of good spots to park up. Really peaceful and private, lots of birds and wildflowers, and we saw a sugar glider one night! Gavin is a great host - he makes sure you're ok, happily shares the best spots for walking and fishing, and then he leaves you to enjoy it.

This campsite is very private and is the only one on the property.
Lovely natural bush setting and plenty of room.
A short stroll down to the fishing spot where we caught fish every time.
Gavin is a very helpful and considerate host who allows you privacy but checks on you daily.
We will be back.
