Every town needs a Rancho Relaxo

If you’re looking for a congested and noisy caravan park, this isn’t for you. This is a peaceful couple acres that you’d have no idea is in the middle of town. Yes it is in someone’s backyard, but we stayed 4 nights and never saw the owners once.
We enjoyed staying here as it felt like home and we had plenty of yard for the kids to play in. The waterfront was only a few minute drive as well.
If you do stay here, drive in the driveway and go left of the tree, to line the gate up straight as it’s abit narrow. Was ok in our 30foot overall van though.

If you’re looking for a congested and noisy caravan park, this isn’t for you. This is a peaceful couple acres that you’d have no idea is in the middle of town. Yes it is in someone’s backyard, however we stayed 4 nights and never saw the owners once.
It has plenty of nice yard to keep the kids occupied with their bikes, and only a few minutes drive to the waterfront.
Water and power included which helps justify the price. It’s not a cheap nights stay but it’s nice to be out of a van park and feel like you’re the only ones there. If you do stay here, turn into the driveway and drive to the left of the tree and line up the gate nice and straight as it’s fairly narrow, but we have a big caravan and got through it fine.

The camping there was fine but it’s just someone’s back yard. The host was unresponsive to messages and we had to make our own way around. This campsite is more for the camper van or trailer than tent campers and that wasn’t disclosed before we arrived and the was the biggest letdown. Overall a below average experience I’m afraid.

We really loved waking up in the morning and seeing the kangaroos! The place had enough space, water and power as well. We felt welcome and even received help with a power supply adaptor. Recommended it, it close to main attractions and the public dump point.

Great set up. Perfect relaxing spot away - but not far away - from town. Max was awesome. Perfect to get away from crowds and be in your own for a bit!

I loved having the whole place to myself and the fact that you simply drive in and pitch up. Lovely having kangaroos lolloping through and I enjoyed the peace and calm of dusk listening to the birds.

What a beautiful private and relaxing environment. A fantastic alternative to rack and stack caravan parks in Hervey Bay. The location is excellent for exploring the city and to access the whale watching marina. Highly recommended

Rancho Relaxo was great. It was exactly as advertised a private and peaceful space in a good location. Max was fast to respond to messages. I would definitely recommend this Hipcamp.

We loved having the entire place to ourselves and had nightly visits from a mother Wallaby and her cute Joey.
We will return if we are ever considered me back to Hervey Bay.

Awesome spot, we loved the easy access and tranquility/outlook, so much so wanted to stay another night but there was already a booking. Great communication from Max, we will definitely be back!

We stayed here for two nights in early August and found communication with Max was great. He responded quickly to any queries and concerns in regards to our 7.5m front wheel drive motorhome and whether it would be ok on the site if it was wet. The first day we stayed was good weather and we walked to the Esplanade and cafes which is about 3.5km.
We set up on the grass area down from the shed which has the power and water connection. Unfortunately that night the rain bucketed down (35mm) so being cautious we moved closer to the shed onto the gravel there. Whilst the weather was unfortunate, we had no problems with the site and looking down across the trees and kangaroos was very peaceful. Max and family were very respectful and didn't hear or see them at all.
Occasionally you can hear a plane fly over but not really an issue.
Good spot if you don't want to stay at the cramped and noisy caravan parks in Hervey Bay.

Great spot amongst the trees giving you the feeling your out of town but you are at arms reach for everything. So good that you dont have to share the spot with other campers too. We had an amazing time and wouldnt hesitate to come again. Greatly priced with power/water and quiet setting.
