We had such a wonderful stay at The Paddock at Ulupna. The facilities were excellent and well looked after, and the whole site felt incredibly peaceful and serene — the perfect place to unwind and recharge. Bernie was fantastic, regularly checking in to make sure everyone was comfortable, which made the experience even more welcoming.

I had a lovely spot under the trees and next to the water, it was peaceful and I listened to frogs all night, did a few walks in the bush which the dogs enjoyed. John was friendly and just left me alone to enjoy the peace.

We enjoyed our stay at The Paddock, nice open space with plenty of room between campers.
Enjoyed being able to light a fire right next to our camp. The facilities are dated, but a handy addition to the site.

John is a very welcoming host, even going to the extent of hiring a cool room for the busy Easter period!
We loved its proximity to the Murray and had a lot of fun there.

This property is so special! John was so kind and welcoming, I had been a bit worried it was going to be too busy for a long weekend but it’s so spacious and we were able to find a great spot! The perfect one for our group of 3 - 2 campers and a van. The kids had a ball and everything felt really safe.
My only note would be that the Ulupna Beach reserve track runs alongside the property and some cars go quite fast, so just be mindful of dogs and little ones ☺️
We will be back! Amenities were great and manageable even for a busy weekend.

We loved staying at the Paddock in Ulupna. The owner was really nice and helpful. It’s a well looked after property and good for a group because there’s plenty of space. Lots of facilities like a big kitchen, toilets and showers. Thanks John for a great time! We had a group of 8 and everyone loved it!

Beautiful spot near Ulupna Beach. We bought our older style Jayco pop-top with no issues. Appreciated being able to choose our own site. Plenty of room and very handy having a toilet and shower available with small children!
Thanks for they stay - we had a great time!

The fact that there were toilets and a shower was nice, sufficient, and clean. Additionally, the camp kitchen was good and practical. The campsite generally looks nice. However, the entire area is covered with dirt roads, and every time a car passes, everything gets dusty.
Also, if you are not camping on the grass, it might be hard to relax due to ants, so make sure to bring insect spray with you. There are absolutely no rules at the campsite—people played loud music and partied loudly until 4 AM for two nights straight. Sleeping was almost impossible. Even though we reported this to the campsite owner, we received neither a response nor any assistance.

My partner and I had an incredible stay at The Paddock at Ulupna! The land is absolutely stunning! Easy to find a peacefully area, well-maintained, and perfect for getting back to nature. While we were ready to rough it out, the toilets and showers were a welcome luxury.
The host John, and his dog were amazing—so friendly and passionate about the place—and the staff were just as welcoming. You can tell a lot of love and care has gone into making this campground special. Whether you're after a relaxing escape with the family, or an off-grid adventure, this spot has it all. We can't wait to come back!

The Paddock at Ulupna was awesome for camping! We took our dog too and she loved it. We chose a site close to the water and it was beautiful, heaps of wildlife too. The amenities were great with flushing toilets and hot showers. Short drive to Ulupna beach. Would definitely stay there again, thanks John!

Great camping spot! Nice spread out camping area. The host was friendly and welcoming, and was able to offer power for our van, an added bonus on a really hot weekend. Great location to access the river beach. Great for groups who are spread out over cabins and camping.
Thanks for having us 🙂

Paddock at Ulupna is such a beautiful, peaceful place to visit. Full of history, flora and fauna (koala's, an Emu and many kangaroos)
We would highly recommend visiting this gorgeous little spot.
John (host) and Oreo (doggo) such welcoming hosts!
We enjoyed our mini getaway and look forward to returning to Paddock at Ulupna very soon!!

We all loved tent camping at Paddock Ulupna! We were two families. One with 7year old kid and one with two dogs. John and (his lovely dog, Oreo)was very helpful. We wanted to stay away from busy crowds and he knew exactly where to take us. We were opposite side of the creek so we had the whole area to ourselves. We listened to songs while sitting around campfire until midnight. Noise didn't disturb anyone because we were far away from other campers. Kangaroos and Koalas were right next to us too. It was my friend’s first time camping in a tent with their kid and they said they loved every bit of it except flies.. haha.. Insect spray did not work on them. Learned our lesson to bring netted hats next time! This site had all the amenities if you want to stay closer to them. We had our own portable toilet so we didn't have to drive from other side of the creek each time to use toilets. However, we did use showers each day after hot sunny days. They also have fully equipped shared kitchen. We had our own camping cooktops and portable BBQ so we enjoyed cooking in front of the little creek. We are looking forward to go back to Paddock Ulupna.

Enjoyed staying here with the camper trailer, set up amongst the trees near the dam. It's a beautiful, well-maintained property, just a short drive to various beaches on the Murray River, or larger towns of Tocumwal and Cobram.

We had a wonderful stay at John's place. There are a variety of sites to choose from and plenty of space to make it feel like you've got your own area. The facilities are good too. Keep an eye out for the resident koalas - there are several on site. John is warm and generous with his time. We'll be back.

Fantastic place to stay for a quick getaway in a busy period, knowing that you’ll have a spot to set up.
John is great and very approachable and even takes the time to offer short buggy rides for the kids to show them around.
