Chris was welcoming and space worked for us for an overnight stay. If had the time would have put the tinny in! Sands a bit soft in areas, but managed without letting tyres down. Would be great to explore the river.

Haughton River Camping
Haughton River Camping was our second Hipcamp stay. We stayed 4 nights. Chris welcomed us on our arrival and showed us to the camp sites. We had a choice of 2 areas.. one was down on the sandy bank of the river and the second was up top on a grass area. We chose to stay on the sand. The area is a pebbly sand mix and is very loose in places. We have a heavy camp trailer so attempted to reverse down closer to the water but sunk quite quickly so went back up towards the track we came down which is where we set camp. It was quite hot during our stay so didn’t light a fire but there is a bit of deadwood laying around but would need a chainsaw. Our dogs loved being close to the river and being fresh water was a bonus. There are fresh water crocs so swimming was out for me!! There is a boat ramp which we used for our tinnie. We spent a few hours out on the water fishing but only caught catfish. Some were monsters!! We spotted a croc and heaps of turtles. We enjoyed our stay. The only downside is that there is no shade at all. So if staying down the bottom you really need a large shade structure as the sand gets so hot. Thank you for sharing your place with us 😊

Crystal river views from your tent
Crystal Creek a beautiful spot beside a wide fresh water creek, great for a refreshing swim for us & the dogs. Make sure you take fire wood as there is not much around to forage for.

Bird watchers paradise
Great bird watching with over 30 species spotted. By the river is very sandy to camp on, so be prepared with sand pegs. Overall a lovely camp.
