Cherry Creek Site
A great weekend away just around the corner from home. We had our own little creek to kayak in and had fun catching red claw and watching them race back into the water. After our camp fire dinner we were surprised at how bright the stars were. Thanks Matt! We'll definitely be coming back for more relaxing weekends so close to home but worlds apart.

Cherry Creek Site
My family had the best weekend at Yaraandoo Cherry creek site. So close to Townsville yet felt so far from civilisation! Plenty of wildlife and kids were entertained with the trampoline, kayaks, fire pits and catching red claw! No one used their iPads the whole weekend! The best family time ever! The camp grounds are beautifully kept and communication with Matt was fast and reliable. We will be sure to book again!

We had a fabulous time! Loved exploring the outdoors. The kayaking and red claw fishing were definitely the highlights for us. We loved the open firepit under the stars as well. The location was very convenient and a great weekend getaway from Townsville. The campground was spacious, and far enough away from adjacent neighbour campers. Loved the peacefulness and sounds of wildlife. Matt was very informative and gave great advice. We will definitely be coming back!

Cherry Creek Site
Without prejudice- Although we had the place to ourselves, it was expensive for just somewhere to park our van without any facilities, we are currently in a caravan park just outside of Townsville and it is $7 cheaper per night than this place was. Yes it was nice to light the fire in the afternoon, and I’m sure swimming would be nice in the warmer months, but again we have a pool here in the van park, a dump point for the toilet, power and water as well. we were well aware that there would be no facilities, and we used it as a practice for free camping in the future, but I feel it was way over priced compared to a caravan park that is not so far away from this place.

Heaps of room, the creek is a great point of difference and only 20mins from Townsville! Very handy to have some kayaks and redclaw pots available for use.

Great spot and well looked after. Kids loved the tramp and the kayaks. Had a great two nights here with a couple of other families. Close to town but a world away.

Great little spot to relax without the long drive. Fresh water creek was fun to kayak with the kids. And grounds were clean and well maintained.

We had a lovely restful weekend here. Close to home but feels a million miles away. We’re able to have a fire. Caught yabbies in the creek and bring our two little dogs (leashed). The creek will be lovely for a swim in the hot weather. Thank you Matt we will be back 😊

Cherry Creek Site
Great spot. Feels like you are in the middle of nowhere yet only 10 minutes to town.
Creek full of red claw and complimentary kayaks are a bonus. A great spot for those fully self sufficient and only a few sites so won't get packed out.
I know I'll be back again

This place was a short 15 mins from home (Townsville) but felt like we were miles from anywhere. The red claw was in abundance, the kayaks were great to explore the creek and the trampoline entertained our children for ages. We will be back with family and friends. Matt was a great host and bent over backwards to make sure everything was perfect!

Cherry Creek Site
The Cherry Creek site at Yarrandoo Campground was our first experience using the HIPCAMP APP, and Matt has set the bar high.
Communicating with Matt in the lead up to our stay was easy and prompt we asked for a early check in which Matt promptly responded too, Matt also contacted us prior to our arrival to ensure all directions where provided by HIPCAMP and passed on additional directions and other tips, such as the best place to enter the creek for a swim and offered us the use of the kayaks left on location, Matt had also offered us the use of the yabbie pots also left on site, and a small gift was waiting for us. Matt even contacted us during our stay to ensure we where settled in and needed anything. even
On arrival the camp site was clean and well prepared the grass had been freshly mowed within the last couple of days to reduce mosquito and other creepy crawlies. A trampoline in very good repair was also in location which I imagine will occupy any child and possibly provide a much needed break to any parent along with kayaks.
We took up the offer and used the kayaks and relaxed on the creek for an hour and even saw quiet a few red claw so ensure you have bait when visiting.
A great site to sit back, relax and enjoy the tranquility and hopefully a few red claw
