The site was well maintained and private next to a beautiful running creek which was perfect for an afternoon swim. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay and will be coming back in the future.

A stunning location with a beautiful river. There is road noise and people stop nearby to swim. You can hear them but not see them. It was fun to see the tour groups of tubers floating by. Watching the dogs run into the river about 5pm is a heart warming thing to watch.

We had a great few days here. Such a beautiful property right along the creek in which we spent alot of time in.
The site had the best grass we have ever seen at a campsite! It was beautifully mowed & presented. There was plenty of room for our caravan.
Glen was a great host & we loved seeing his dogs take a dip in the creek of an afternoon.
So relaxing & peaceful.
We will be back !

My partner and I had a fantastic time at Glens property. It was very hot but the creek had the perfect temperature for a cooldown.
The best about our stay: No phone reception!! (At least not with Optus haha)
Glen was incredibly kind and came down a couple of times as storms approached to let us know. We will be back, for sure!!

Gorgeous spot right on a crystal clear river. Could easily have stayed longer if we had the time. Glen was a great host and full of really interesting information about the local wildlife. He is also extremely handy on the lawn mower! The place was impeccable. Thanks Glen

Great place with well maintained flat sites to set up. Beautiful clear water to swim and a fire pit to sit around at night. Glen was welcoming and had a chat to us about the area.

We loved our stay at The River Camp. So harmed to leave the relaxing sanctuary Glenn has created. Kids spent most of their waking hours on the creek and on the swing. Plus we had the whole camp to ourselves!
Glenn was a fantastic host. He made sure we had everything we needed, as well as some great local knowledge about the area.
Cannot fault this space, I hope we have an opportunity to stay again!

We LOVED this beautiful camping spot and we will definitely be going back. The area is very well maintained and looked after very well. We loved watching the dogs running down from the house to go flying into the river each afternoon. Glen was also very responsive to my questions prior to our arrival. If you plan on staying here, you won't be disappointed.

This campsite was absolutely perfect for a quick relaxing getaway. Nestled right beside the river, listening to the calming sound of the water flowing â it was incredibly peaceful. The spot was clean, private, and had plenty of space to spread out and unwind.

Awesome spot - so clean and peaceful. Have stayed here twice now and always magic. Great swimming. Super safe for kids and adults. Well worth the little detour off the highway and away from all the free camps.

Awesome spot to stay. Was easy to find and we were met upon arrival and taken down to the camping area. Plenty of room to choose between for different set ups. Water was crystal clear, with plenty of birdlife. Would absolutely stay again!

Fantastic place, we will definitely be back. Easy to see why it has a 100% rating. Lush green grass, clear flowing water, and friendly hosts. Easy run to the supermarket to top up on groceries, but feels like a million miles away.

Sensational spot by the river. Fish biting (couple of good JPs), and plenty of privacy. Bonus that the pub was only a short drive away. If itâs available donât look elsewhere, just book it.

Beautiful camping spot right on the river in a very scenic location surrounded by mountains. You have the area all to yourselves- one of the best Hipcamp we have stayed at. You need to be self contained but you are also very close to Gordonvale or even Cairns if needed. Our host Glen was great & his dad also dropped down for a chat. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place to camp on the creek. Private and perfect for a relaxing break. Also plenty to do - fishing, swimming, and we took our kayak for a paddle. Saw plenty of birds, butterflies and fish. Glen and family were so helpful and communication was great. There is a pub 3km up the road if you want a meal and a beer. We had Telstra phone coverage. We will definitely be back soon.

Loved the natural beauty of this camp! Such a physically brautiful & comfortable campsite with lush lawns right next to the gorgeous river!
Loved seeing Glen (plus the mini Shirley Temple) zoom around the property with the pups every afternoon before they stormed the river for a dip to cool down!
Can't say it was always tranquil or peaceful as often lots of other river users not far away, but it was beautiful, had great swimming, & even had a few critters visit on occasion! We very much appreciated Glen providing a fire pit right on the waters edge... was bliss sitting by the fire watching the river in the moonlight!
Would definitely go again! Thanks Glen for your hospitality & a fabulous camp, looking forward to our return!
