Stories from the community

4 nights at Valley View Escape

The camp site was lovely and private. Having access to the shower and toilet was a bonus. The kids had a great time paddling in the lake and feeding 'burger' the steer!

2 nights at River Views - Island Paradise

This is one of the nicest spots I’ve stayed, I here’s plenty to do and the fishing is great. I got there late at night and setup my tent and woke up to finches and birds everywhere. Squiggles is a legend and does a great job to keep the place beautiful and you can buy wood from him and trust me it’s far better than servo wood and cheaper too. Just all round the place is great, I stayed for 5 nights and had a great time. Would recommend fully.

1 night at Benefields Rose Farm

Beautiful property. Plenty of space and clear directions provided. Close to freeway for convenience but far enough away for a good nights sleep. Definately recommend 👌

1 night at Valley View Escape

Loved our stay! Stunning views up on the hill, beautiful sunset and sunrise. The facilities were kept very clean. Highly recommend

10/10! Highly recommend. Such a beautiful spot right on the river. Loved our stay! Will be back :-)

2 nights at Riverside Rest

Beautiful location with the Clarence River at your door step. A really intimate camp site with only four sites available and well spread apart. Need to be self contained.

1 night at Riverside Rest

Really liked the secluded location right next to the river. We were able to fish and caught so many catfish! If you stay at Site 4, make sure you don't park the car right next to the river bank, pass the camp firepit. The tide comes up high onto the grass but just touches the fire pit so our fire was fine. Camp sites were a bit close to each other but overall nice experience. 👍

1 night at The Peach Farm

Great time making our camp oven roast, patting the animals and roaring marshmallows by the fire. Really easy communication with our hosts and extra firewood provided when we needed it :) would recommend!

2 nights at Oasis of Hope

Our time at Oasis of Hope was wonderful, it is a spectacularly beautiful location, the facilities there were excellent, showers, a kettle, toaster and full laundry. Brett who was on site was excellent, he was helpful, had useful info on the local sites and could not do enough to help us. It was an excellent experience and base to explore the area.

2 nights at The Peach Farm
