Camped in a 6 m camper trailer at The Beach On The Ovens with pets, Apr 2026.
It was okay
We camped at The Beach over Easter, and as described it was a beautiful big grassy site at the end of the track with a gentle slope down to the beach and easy access to the river. It is the most expensive site - almost double the cost of others. Unfortunately we discovered on arrival that the site had been double booked - a large group set up their camp to one side of our site! We also believed we had exclusive access to the beach on our site, but each day people from the other sites walked right through our camp and set themselves up on the beach. We were happy to pay a premium for privacy, peace and quiet, but we got none! So we won’t be back 😞
Camped in a 6 m caravan at Nibblers Nook with pets, Apr 2026.

Nibblers Nook is a great private spacious camp spot at Camp Ovens. It’s hard to tell from the photos & map of the sites, but it’s really quite private and away from other campers (closest being at King of the North - but you still can’t see each other!).. the site had been mowed and prepared and had more than enough room for our single van and 4wd. There’s a step embankment down to the river right at your doorstep which gives you great views, but easy signed access to the river for sitting and swimming about 100m north next to the ‘king of the north’ site. Given the busy Easter long weekend, it was peaceful and relaxing sitting around the camp fire right next to the river, and so close to town for everything you might need. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back and try some other sites at Camp ovens as well!
Camped at Maza's Table, Apr 2026.

We all loved camping at the Maza's Table site. Loved the views of the Ovens River and how quite and peaceful it was, it was perfect. The kids liked the small walk down to the beach for a swim. We will be back.
