A special place on the banks of the Mary River. 50 acres of undulating grassy paddocks and beautiful blue gums along the river bank. The river is freshwater and beautiful for swimming, kayaking, canoeing or boating, you could try and catch a Bass for dinner. The 5 flat grassy sites are right on the rivers edge with good access to the water. The stairs into the water with the pontoon are perfect for diving in and cooling off, the kids love it!! Leave your boat in tied to the pontoon ready for the next days fishing trip. There's a BBQ with hop plate, table & chairs and deck chairs to sit back and relax. Access to the campsites are 2Wd and suitable for all size caravans and camp trailers. The boat ramp access is for all types of boats but 4x4 only as the ramp is gravel.

You won't regret stopping here the only thing you will regret is having to leave. Every site on offer is perfect for all types of travellers. Rod and Tracey care for their property and it's felt. Thank you so much.

Beautiful spot on the Mary river, lovely mowed paddocks, nice open spaces out sites. A little road noise from the highway but didn't take away from the experience. Would book again

Another amazing weekend away with our group of people and dogs. Facilities were spotless and cleaned daily. The grass was like lawn, no bindies or prickles. Access to the river tor the kayaks was very good . Owner Tracey popped down to see is and have a chat which made us feel very welcome. We love this place !

Beautiful huge sites, (we were in site #4), not crowded together, with plenty of room for 2 caravans and a large gazebo for the teens to swag under :) Felt like I had my own home away from home to enjoy by the river, with easy access to the jetty/pontoon for swimming and kayak launching. Fire pits were large enough to fit our 3 camp ovens in for cooking, as well as enjoying the flames in the other side, to sit by. Hosts were very pleasant, dropped off our pre-ordered firewood just after we arrived and offered further assistance if required. Only saw them again when they came to clean the portable toilet each day. This hipcamp has been on my to-stay list of favourites for ages and we were very happy with it - we will definitely be back! Thank you! :)

We had the best time at Blue Gums River Retreat. Tracey was so friendly and accommodating. The campsite is situated alongside the river which made for a beautiful scenery. It was also very refreshing to swim in the fresh water river. We will definitely come back! Loved it!!

Fabulous
The selfish person in me wants to give a bad review. You see if I do maybe I'll keep paradise to myself. But in all honesty everybody should enjoy this offering. Grounds are beautifully maintained; access to river great and the space is big enough for you not to feel crowded. Thank you Tracy and Rod. Your hospitality is ever present in your place. Your communicating is well received and your response friendly. Needless to say this will be a regular camping spot for me, the smalls and the all fours.

Great spot, tranquil camping by river. No complaints, follow their directions not GPS or you’ll end up on the wrong side of the Mary River!

Camping with our fur baby.
The site at blue gums retreat was perfect. The limited sites were large with space for groups. The fur babies from all campers were well behaved. Great views of the river. Tracey was a friendly host.

We had a great stay - the site was lovely and just as described. We were on site 6, a little separate from the other spots which was perfect for a peaceful visit.
