We loved our camping weekend! Amanda is a great host, the directions were great and the site was awesome! The land is very well kept offering tons of space, a great fire pit and excellent toilet and shower facilities. Definitely going back!!

Our group uses hipcamp regularly. I think this is one of the best sites that we’ve been to. The place is beautiful, well maintained and amanda is all about making sure hipcamers have a great time.

Celebrated our first grandchild first birthday at RiverOak campsite. There were eight families and couples of us, the usual campers, and three families invited and we still left the campsite half empty.
The campsite was neat with lush and healthy lawns, surrounding trees with the infamous oak tree that shades the prominent part of the campsite the bbq area where we mostly spend our days with picnic mats, camp chairs and hammock next to the river.
Under the Oak tree were swings and kids loved climbing on it as the large branches are very low, dads and kids climbed and some just rest there. I see back in the days when I saw them enjoying the tree.
We had our birthday boy and group pictorials under the lovely oak tree and came out good.
The kids and adults alike also enjoyed the river which helped us a lot from a 36 degree temperature while some were just on their stretchers and hammocks having naps.
We did fishing but sadly we didn’t catch any just because everyone was in the water most of the time.
Boys did mountain biking 10 min drive from the camp. Hike on the trails etc. There is a fishing spot just outside next to the information centre on the main road which we missed on the way in because of watching our way turning heading to the campsite.
Loved the hot and cold shower very clean that I put my bare feet on it. Wash basin outside well lit at night.
Funny there was metal kitchen sink outside that looks like a hard rubbish sitting under a tree. I didn’t t

40th Birthday at RiverOak

RiverOak Group Camping
RiverOak is pure magic. We were blessed with the weather, which added to our fantastic weekend away for my husbands 40th birthday.
So much room for our 6 caravans, 12 adults, 14 kids (3yr -11yr) The kids had so much freedom and it’s was totally safe.
From fishing to swimming to mudslides, to cheese platters under the magnificent oak tree- just pure bliss. Wonderful big firepit for our evenings, and the little amenity block was clean and very convenient.
Amanda made booking and staying here so easy and smooth. The communication we had leading up to the stay was 5star.
Could not recommend this gem of a camping spot more.
Thanks to Amanda and RiverOak for making my husbands 40th perfect!

A picturesque setting for a lovely weekend spent with friends. We stayed over the weekend at the end of April. The beautiful trees changing color, the well maintained site and amenities block was appreciated by all.
We stayed for a birthday but everyone who came would love to return with their families. Far enough out of town that it feels private and secluded but close enough that you can duck in for a coffee or takeaway food.
A true gem. We had a wonderful time.

Our big group of friends absolutely loved camping at Riveroak over the long weekend. We had many kids who enjoyed the trampoline, playground, climbing on the magnificent oak tree, and not to mention the amazing campfire (which had no issues warming our big group). Hot instant shower and clean toilets was a bonus for an unpowered site. We loved the privacy of the site, and the land was so flat. We were able to set up our caravans in a circle around the site, leaving heaps of space in the middle for kids to play soccer, fly kites, etc. Lovely creek, where we caught a giant crayfish on the last night. The site has been very well set up, including solar lights that turned on around the campsite after sunset (optional of turning them off). We had a great weekend, with kids being away from their screens and just enjoying nature. Great lakes nearby as well for fishing and nice little town with great food.
The host Amanda was exceptional. Excellent in communication and very accommodating and friendly. She came down to say hi and was available for any help.
We are rebooking for next year!

Fantastic spot- perfect for our large group. Kids loved swimming in the river, climbing the tree and bouncing on the trampoline. Fire pit was great, has a hot plate attached to allow you to cook over the fire which was fabulous. Large flat grass area makes setting up tents a breeze. Couldn’t have asked for a better camping experience. Looking forward to returning next year. Thanks Amanda!

We had a great group family camping trip ant RiverOak. Everything was made very easy from Amanda, she organised firewood for us and ran through everything on arrival.
The property was pristine and freshly mowed, perfect for tent set up and cricket during the day. It was very close to the town which was handy but also secluded with a huge open space surrounded by serene farmland.
Great amenities for everyone to use with toilets and showers. Plenty of activities for kids with swings, trampoline and a river for fishing.
We will definitely be back.

What a beautiful spot! We celebrated our 40th birthday here sitting by the fire and the beautiful big oak tree, whilst the kids all played along the creek fishing, climbing and on the playground. The ammenities were clean and made even our ‘non camping friends’ feel at peace. We are already organising it to be an annual adventure! Amanda was an amazing host, explained everything, organised a fire wood delivery for us and was easy to contact for all necessities! Thanks so much! Looking forward to visiting again. Jo and Simon

We recently had the pleasure of camping at River Oaks and we have to say, it was an incredible experience. The campground was well-maintained and had all the amenities we needed, including clean restrooms and showers, fire pits, and picnic tables.
In addition, the staff at River Oaks were incredibly friendly and helpful and provided everything we wanted.
Overall, I would highly recommend River Oaks to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful camping site.

Where do I begin.. hot showers were delightful and so was the flushing toilet. But truly the stand out would of been the ginormous oak tree. Loved the picnic spot and had several afternoons reading and deep breathing in the hammock. A camp spot for day dreaming out loud.

Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend! Beautiful big oak tree, flowing river and plenty of space for activities. Loved the huge fire pit and visiting cows. It was the perfect venue for a laidback but big camping group of 19. Hot showers and flushing toilets were much appreciated.

We loved how it was a nice, huge place. We had it to ourselves. Plenty of things to do for the kids. Toilets were clean and hassle-free. Hot showers and flush toilets. There was a river flowing nearby. We would love to go back, we just need enough families as it is more expensive than the usual unpowered camp site.

A great setting for our first family camp! Amanda was an amazing host; super responsive with all the communications. We were unlucky to have heavy rain the first day and all through the night. Despite the rain we had a great time. The huge fire pit was a hit! Highly recommend River Oak for groups of family and friends.

Our families 1st camping trip together. The facilities are spotlessly clean & the huge fire pit was warm to sit around on a very damp weekend. The Grandchildren loved the big acorn tree to play under & riding their bikes

This camp-site is BEAUTIFUL! We camped with a group of friends and everyone enjoyed swimming in the river, sitting by the fire and walking into town for a coffee. Flushing toilets and showers were definitely a selling point for those amongst our friends who aren't big campers. Amanda was so lovely and personable when we arrived and was kind enough to organise firewood last minute for us. I couldn't recommend this location more.

Impeccably maintained property. Perfectly set up to host a group of families for caravan or tent camping. The river flows gently and is well shaded so it’s perfect for kids to paddle or gently tube down the river. The fire pit is amazing and the showers and flushing toilets is a bonus. There is a plenty to see and do in the heyfield area too… mountain bikes, fishing, water sports at glenmaggie. River Oak is the perfect balance of bush camping and a little of glamping. Will be back.

This is a perfect camping site, lots of space, lush grass and beautiful oak tree. Kids and adults loved the river and play ground. Showers and toilets were clean and practical. Close to town if you need anything, but you feel like your in the middle of the bush… we will be back!!

Thank you for having us stay at Riveroak. We had the most wonderful camping weekend.
Amanda was an amazing host.
The grounds were lush and green, there was a huge oak tree the kids could climb, an impressive fire pit, great creek access and play equipment. The amenities were super clean and hot showers were a nice touch.
We definitely hope to return one day!
