Stayed for just one night, but could have stayed for days. What a beautiful place to camp. Pet friendly and loads of room. The river camp perfect for fishing and just watching the world go by.

Lovely peaceful spot on the Burrum River. Lots of birdlife and kangaroos. Gorgeous cows. Easy to stroll around and appreciate the work going in to the property. We were there for a 1 night "shakedown" with new van. Grounds neat and tidy, directions and information from Michael very clear.

We loved the space and the tidiness of the property .It would be threat if there were a pontoon on the property to fish from?We were getting snagged from the logs and mangroves fishing from the bank .Overall it was a fantastic 5day camping .Michael and his new bride came down to see if we were ok

beautiful spot to stay on the river being able to catch mudcrabs and do fishing. Very relaxing spot and we where lucky to have no one else stay on the property for two nights. Easy to find and driveway is good to get a 20 foot caravan in. Michael was a fantastic communicator responding to texts asap. Harvey bay 30min drive and the township of Howard 5min away with IGA , battleship, pub, butcher and a few other shops.

The river area is very pretty, however the owner was doing earthworks with heavy machinery (excavator, tip truck, front end loader, bob cat & a roller compactor) the afternoon we arrived, until sunset, and then all of the next day. Which meant a lot of noise, dust, and diesel fumes. My back yard in suburbia is more peaceful than that! I really don’t think they should be taking bookings when they have earth works planned!! To top it off the owner turned on flood lights shining down onto the camp ground at night, not much good for star gazing… and it felt like we were being watched. The $20 worth of fire wood bundle was supposed to last two nights, they do encourage you to forage on the property, we should have bought our own, the stuff they supplied was small bits of fence stays that burnt fast with no heat. They however did not mind us waiting until our tent and awning had dried in the morning before we packed up which was appreciated… a 10am checkout when you are camping is a bit of an ask especially in winter… I can see it working for caravaners but not campers.. I don’t know if this checkout is a Hipcamp thing or just individual owners… also lots of broken glass left behind around the other sites when we went for a stroll… the property is small, nothing to do unless you like fishing… one camp site under a fig tree is described as private but is actually quite exposed and on a fence line between two drive ways. The whole place is not private or secluded as suggested…

Great spot with plenty of room to camp along the river or back on the grass and cleared area. Fish and mud crabs both here. Plenty of firewood for the price. Will be back again. Cheers.

We really enjoyed staying at Michaels property. We were disappointed in the access to the river and also sharing the toilet that we hired. We weren't aware that the camp next to us were to be using it as well. The host was a terrific fella. We would like to go back one day.
