Lovely location with spacious, private, well maintained, campsites overlooking the Mary River & distant hills. Fire pits with wood provided. Many thanks to the owners who went out of their way to help when I had an issue with my gas stove. I would have enjoyed a swim in the river, however the only accessible spots were very muddy. It was a lovely retreat for a couple of days.

Loved our camping experience at this hipcamp!! Great location on the Mary River, plenty of space between the campsites so your not jammed in and listening to your neighbours conversations!! Only a 10 minute drive from Gympie if you have to grab some last minute items you had forgotten to grab. Great access to the river if you bring a kayak for a paddle or even just go for a swim in the river. We will definitely put this campsite on our favourites list and will camp there again. Access is great for caravans too, we took our 22ā€™6ā€ ban there and was able to get in and out without any bother. Probably wouldn't take a 2wd and caravan there if there has been a lot of rain as there is a considerable grass hill to negotiate when leaving the campsite, although I didn't need to engage 4wd to get out in dry weather

The property was one of the most beautiful properties we have stayed at. With veiws overlooking the Mary River, soft mowed thick green grass to camp on. Big safe iron fire pits for the evening. Cool breeze every afternoon that come down the river that are refreshing. We also felt very safe. The cows are so well looked after. The whole experience was fantastic. Well done to the owners. The river was easy to access very refreshing, our puppy had an absolute šŸ’Æ % time
