Dougal Retreat
Great hosts. The sites were a good size but everywhere was long grass which was bad for our small dogs. Even after the grass was cut down there were so many grass seeds and prickles.

Was one of the best places we stayed driving from Broome to the south coast NSW. I would recommend this any day. Beautiful views excellent raw honey and just down the road some of the best fishing you could ask for

Beautiful big space and plenty of quiet little pockets to choose from.
Paul was a great host, popping in each evening to check everything was going well.
Ringo and Jimmy were wonderful with our anxious dog.

We had a great stay at Dougal retreat. There was plenty of space to find a private site. Fire pits and wood were provided. We were made to feel welcome and the property was really relaxed.

Sara was very welcoming and accommodating. Our site was nice with a lot of space for privacy. We stayed 2 nights and found it an ideal base for the sightseeing we planned and only a short drive to Geraldton.

We have a great time at Dougal’s retreat, we loved sitting by the fire watching the stars.
Sara was delightful and was so good with our 4 year old taking her to see all the animals and letting her feed them and put them to bed.
Would highly recommend this place as a base to explore Geraldton, thanks again Sara!

My family and I were on transit to Monkey Mia and was certainly glad to be hosted by Sara. Sara helped to make us feel comfortable. Hot water shower was working, and my boys would have enjoyed a campfire if not for the dreadful rain. Location is easy to find, and short drive to Geraldton for coffee or a groceries run! Thank you Sara & family!

Sara and Paul were awesome Hipcamp hosts! They showed me around their property on arrival, helped me gather firewood, and fixed a tweaked part on my campervan! The property is spacious, easy to navigate, and SO MUCH BETTER than a caravan park! Would absolutely stay again and thanks for the hospitality!!

We had a lovely stay! The hosts were so welcoming and friendly (including the 2 beautiful Kelpies) and our kids loved getting to meet and feed all the animals (horses, rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens). Thank you for having us! We would definitely come stay again.

Fantastic farm stay! We booked last minute for a stop over and the host Sara was very accommodating. Even took time to show the kids all the animals. Great spot, we will definitely be back.

I would highly recommend this site, especially at the current price.
It was easy to access from the highway. Sara was extremely accomodating, messaging prior. Unfortunately I arrived late so didn't locate the prepared site but still had a chance to build a campfire with the kids.
The site does have a work shed with a toilet, hot water shower and microwave/ kettle.

Loved our overnight stay here! Sara was a phenomenal host and spending time with the animals was a fantastic experience. Loved that we could arrive, pick a spot and not need to unhitch the caravan. Will definitely be back!

Sheltered campsite, with showers and a toilet, perfect for if you don’t want to go to a normal crowded campground. Friendly dogs and horses where a nice addition

Overall was a lovely stay in a relaxing spot amongst nature. I was glad I didn't need to use the kitchen as it was very dusty and poorly equipped. I would expect more for the price.

Great communication made it easy to find. Paul was a welcoming host and made our site selection and stay very comfy. Basic facilities but more than enough comfort for a lovely peaceful night on our way to Coral Bay.

Loved staying at Dougal Retreat, beautful location right on the river, stunning views over the lush green river shrub, big skies, not too far away to river walking tracks and the beach. Lots of pockets on the property to find a camp that suits you, generous facilities ~ fire pits and fire wood, canoes, hot shower and flush toilet in the farm shed. Sara and Paul are so so welcoming, and we were very appreciative of giving us our space as we have a fearful doggo. Loved Sara's passion for animal, human connection and her work with equine therapy. Overall, a much needed relaxing stay ♡

We enjoyed our stay here and recommend to people who are looking for a quiet place surrounded by nature. Only a short walking distance to the beautiful river and it was very safe to have our puppy off leash! She had a blast running around with the owners dogs too!!
