Lovely spot! Nice and spacious between sites for more privacy, close to the Burrum river where we fished. Grounds are well kept, nice clean facilities and lovely host! We camped with our dog and had no issues. They have fire pit provided and you can choose from many camp spots, some with large solid wood picnic tables! Will stay again for sure!

Very well maintened, heaps of flat space, and shade, and Daniel was a welcoming host with heaps of extras like ice, bait, coins etc making it easy to camp. Yeah, a few midgeys about but only a couple of hours and spray took care of it

Brilliant Location, immaculate campsite and the grass was premium!!!
Great hosts, super helpful and had everything we needed… Firewood and Ice, bait etc
Wheelie bins were provided
Toilets/showers were a little walk, so plan ahead if you feel the urge 🤣🤣
Amazing time had, but if the Midges love you, you’ll get owned.. 3 out of our crew of 14 got absolutely nailed regardless of spray, everyone else, barely a bite…
Happily towed a Jayco Expanda 17.56 onto site in 4wd, bit of right pedal in a couple of spots but didn’t have to air down…
20min Drive into Burrum Heads on a bush track through national park
Small tinny or JetSki launch beside pontoon 2hrs either side of high tide no problem
Excellent fishing and crabbing
Excellent location

Riverside was beautiful! The hosts were very responsive and we had a great time! The track in was no worries (triton, towing Jayco Hawk - no need to reduce tire pressure) and actually a bit of fun! Like other reviewers, the midges were absolutely brutal and my boys were truly eaten alive! I was also mildly disappointed with the private beach - it was really a private mangrove and not suitable for swimming - I may have misinterpreted the description though! Overall, it was a great stay, launched our boat, caught plenty of fish and muddies, it was quiet and clean and very spacious! I think I might be more of an ocean girl, rather than a river girl! Thanks for having us Dan!

Absolutely stunning spot by the river would highly recommend. Definitely will be back again. Most definitely take insect repellent midgees are very hungry

Lovely open clean space surrounded by big gums, fire and star gazing was great, would greatly benefit taking small tinny and a couple crab pots but Burrum was close and thought Toogoom was really nice with a good resturant right on the water. Ps shower was really good.

Very much 4wd access. Great spot, all campers tended to set up around the outside which left plenty of room for the kids and big kids to play games. So quiet and the stars are amazing. Plenty of bird life and the odd wallaby.
Midgies are there, but not a deal breaker for us, spray & mozzie coils did the trick, will be going back!!!!

Beautiful campgrounds. Well looked after with easy (although muddy) river access for tinnies and kayaks.
Bring lots of bug spray. The sandflies are aggressive!

Overall, good experience. However, given what we paid per night we thought there may have been more than just two toilets for the whole campground and two showers, which were pay per use.

The property was beautiful but we felt mislead by the pics as we thought there was better accessibility to the river and beaches.

The road access presented no problems but we did reduce our tyre pressure. Daniel was a good host explaining the property and things to do. Given the time of year we almost had the place to ourselves. As everyone says the midges were absolutely brutal and impacted the time we stayed.

Large open field with plenty of room! Clean facilities (toilet and warm shower). 10 min drive to the local town. Only negative was the midge’s which is out of their control. Would stay again 👍🏻

Plenty of space, toilet and showers were clean and tidy. Showers were excellent.
Lots of midgies so mozzie coils are a must.

Great little spot by the river. Was quite busy over the Kings Birthday long weekend. But still plenty of room. Great little 4wd sandy section on the way in. Was a lot of fun.

Riverside COULD be the perfect spot, if only there weren’t a few downsides!
The “4wd access sand track” is a bit of an understatement! We’ve done plenty of beach driving, so were confident we wouldn’t have any troubles. We were towing our 16 foot van, and unfortunately got stuck going in and out of the campground with it. If it weren’t for some fellow kind campers, we’d still be in the talcum powder sand. It was SOFT. Be prepared, either have a winch, or travel with someone who isn’t towing, so they can give you a tug if needed. We weren’t the only ones who got stuck either, 90% of the other campers we spoke to also got bogged. Also, we tried calling the owner, and messaging, but he didn’t respond. So we were thankful there were others who could help us out.
Secondly, the SAND FLIES are brutal. I did everything in my power to not get bitten; mozzie wrist bands and patches, citronella candles, mozzie coils and of course insect repellent. I still got eaten.
The amenities are great! Although only 2 showers and 2 toilets, we never found ourselves having to queue up. The shower takes a $1.00 coin for 3 mins, so make sure you bring some coins, only $1.00’s, it won’t take any other coins.
Unfortunately we can’t see ourselves coming back any time soon, our relaxing weekend away turned out to be more stressful than relaxing, which is unfortunate.
Add some rock or boards to the soft sand access track and it’d go from a 3/5 to a 4/5 star rating.

Great spot and location. Was a little challenging towing a 3 tonne hybrid through sections of soft sandy spots to camp, but part of the adventure. Plenty of room, nice sunny and shady spots.
Sandies can be a pest but you can hold them at bay with the good old bushman’s.
We will be back

This is a lovely spot right on the river. We enjoyed the quiet and space. The land and facilities are well maintained. We fished from the jetty, took our little boat out on the river, kayaked on the river and the kids enjoyed the walking trails. Don’t forget the insect repellant as the midges are out in the morning and evening. The showers are lovely, clean and warm. $1 coin for 3 mins. 4WD only as the road in is very Sandy, deep in spots.
Dog friendly.. It’s so nice to be able to bring along the dogs. There is even a fenced yard to allow the dogs to free range (supervised).
