Great location and host. The walking track from the dam down to the river is a nice easy trek .

Beautiful spot in amongst the trees. There is a choice of a few different types of sites. The host was very welcoming and threw us in his 4wd to take us around and show the various options available before we set up. Very peaceful, but keep in mind it's quite remote. Take everything in that you need. Good launching spot for doing the Bloomfield Track.

Very well laid out camping area right along the runway and more sites down by the river. There are portable toilets strategically located.

This is our second stay at Rossville Retreat and it didn't disappoint! We stayed in such a lovely, spacious campsite a short walk to the river. The stars under the campfire at night were just amazing. It was a little busier this time around but you felt like at times being the only campers there as the campsites are very well spaced out. Quite a lot of shade so if you rely on solar try to get the spot around the end of the runway at the right hand side. Really enjoyed our stay and have no hesitation in recommending this place to anyone in the area as it's only a stones' throw from the well known "Lions' Den Hotel", so if you don't feel like cooking you can eat there and return to a quiet camp.
