Situated on the banks of the Barron River our 100 acre property offers seclusion, privacy, tranquility and abundant wildlife. With natural rock pools, beaches and cascades the river is great for swimming and kayaking. We have stunning views to the river from the escarpment. Our diverse land has walking tracks which enable you to explore Grass Tree Forests, Rainforest, Open Woodland and it’s many furry, feathered and scaly inhabitants. We are wildlife carers and there are many hand raised and rescued wallabies on our land.  There are designated walking tracks to the river and limited 4WD vehicle access to the sandbank.This listing is for exclusive group bookings. This campsite is perfect for sharing a special moment with your closest group of friends and relatives, be it a wedding, a milestone event or just a special weekend away with the family. This site offers shady, grassy, level spots in a park like setting with nicely maintained lawns within easy walking distance to the river. It’s a great site if you want to be a bit more social and have large open spaces around you. It’s also a good site for kids riding their bikes and playing cricket. There’s a fire pit, but no toilets so you must book a portaloo under Extras and leave no trace. You will have the place to yourself, with easy access to the river for a dip. You are welcome to bring and set up your own communal marquee for your special group meal and get together. This site offers a spectacular background for your special memories. *Please note that we are closed during the wet season in the tropics: Nov-Mar.

Perfect for our puppy!
Petra has a beautiful spot. Excellent privacy- each camping spot is in its own location along the property, we found it perfect for our puppy who could still wonder and explore but not hassle other campers. River sounds was in an open area so a gazebo is certainly a must have to protect from the QLD sun. The river was beautiful and pristine! We are definitely coming back!

Great quiet and private place
Thank you for having us! Very welcoming host (Petra), great to be invited along for the animal feeding especially for my daughter. Felt very welcome, a shame we only stayed for one night. Chris offered to show some local sights when able but we had to keep on trekking north sadly. Water was beautiful for a dip, grass was beautiful and green. GREAT to have an owner happy to welcome our dog and not be stand-off-ish. Will definitely plan to come back and spend a few days around. Thanks again!

We were greeted by Petra and her partner on arrival, Petra then drove us down to our campsite (easily accessible by 2wd). She thn took us for a walk down the river and showed us around. The campsite was well maintained with a fire pit. Great 2 days getaway with our puppies. Highly recommended.

It's going to be hard to find another youcamp that can beat this one. We stayed 7 nights with our two pups and we had such a good time. Petra and Chris are beautiful people and were extremely helpful. We will miss this place that's for sure!
