Hold it Flats is a 120 acre property that borders the beautiful O'Connell River that has water all year round. Take a walk around the property to check out some of the creatures that have been built out of scrap metal and bush bars that have been built all around the property. There is nice shady trees, green grass and flat camping sites right beside the river with hot showers and flushing toilets. There is plenty of room and some great tracks for the kids and the big kids to ride their push bikes on. The swimming hole is about 2 meters deep and has big shady trees on the edge. There is also enough room for kids to bring their kayaks and have a paddle along the river. We have some hiking tracks up around the hills of our property that have amazing views of the area. All campsites can be provided with their own fire pit. You just pick your spot and we will bring a portable fire pit to you. Fire wood can be purchased at the property. All rubbish must be taken with you, there are no rubbish bins provided.

Lovely grassed and flat sites with nice shady trees.  There are 8 flushing toilets and 8 hot showers. Big covered area with BBQ, sink, tables, chairs and a comfy lounge to rest on. It's also a great area for the kids to ride their push bikes around with a few tracks, hills and gullies to test their skills out.  It's only just short walk across the road to the river and we always leave space for people to take their picnic blankets down and sit on the edge of the river. That way you can have a relaxing drink while you watch the kids swim. Generators are allowed but can only be run from 8.00am to 5.00pm. Pets on leash are welcomed. Please note that Check-In time is strictly 1.00pm and Check-Out time is 11.00am.

Hold It Flats Grassed Flat Camping
I would never normally leave a bad review, however our experience with the lady who greeted us was honestly quite bizarre. It is a 1pm check in, but we ran ahead of time (not on purpose, we were just travelling). We arrived at the gates and my partner stopped the car just to have a look out the windows at the campsite. We were only stopped very briefly when a lady came walking over to us and came to my window asking who we were. The following conversation with her left me feeling like I was in trouble for arriving early, like we’d done something wrong. We weren’t asking to be let in early at all, we would have been happy to wait. Instead we were basically scolded for driving up to the gates 😅 after setting up our camp and realising how dry and stagnant the creek actually was (of course no one’s fault, just dry weather) we actually decided to pack up and move to a different campground, purely based on that first bizarre interaction. I’ve probably worded this review not very well, but I’d just like to point out that the way you interact with guests really sets the tone for their stay, and it really ruined it for us to the point we didn’t even care about the money we’d spent, we just wanted to leave. It was really a shame as I’ve only ever heard good things about this campground and we were looking forward to checking it out ourselves.

We really enjoyed our stay. Tent camping on the grass flats. The area was clean and so relaxing. We walked some of the walking track and visited the local swimming hole. The management were fantastic, so friendly and helpful, I cannot recommend them enough.

We camped in two swags, the grassed area was great. Amenities clean and the hot showers we a massive bonus. Enjoyed swimming in the creek. Plenty of room. Dogs welcome and you can have fires. What more could you want. There are a couple of walking tracks on the property which I didn’t do as I didn’t bring proper footwear. Handmade sculptures and other things to look at. I would definitely recommend this place, I look forward to returning soon. Thanks

Friendly staff. Lovely sites by the creek. And also overlooking it. We stayed 2 separate times over the course of a week. Once creekside and once just behind the creekside sites. You pay more to stay creekside, but the raised sites directly behind them are just as good. We stayed here a 2nd time as we could leave our dog in the spacious kennels whilst we visited the national park. Highly recommend the doggy daycare 👌. Hot showers and flushing toilets. No potable water or electricity.

Hold It Flats is a beautiful place to camp. The location is terrific. The shower/toilet block was clean and tidy. The grounds were well maintained and there was plenty of room to camp without being on top of each other. Katie-ann was very responsive in picking up the phone and very helpful. Overall a great stay.

Such a great experience! Amazing service from booking to arrival, assistance with requests, checking in with us throughout the stay and departure (I’m so sorry I can’t recall names but the Man and woman were just fantastic) We are young family starting out our camping adventures and this was our first taste and we couldn’t have picked a better place! Great for kids between the grassed flats, the lil hills to race trucks down and the creek was drier than usual (as other campers were saying) but made for great shallow rocky spots through to chest high spots for the kids to explore and swim! Toilets and showers were fantastic! We didn’t get up to the other areas to explore but plan to our next stay! Can’t wait to visit again!
