    Best spot you will ever find. The owner is very friendly and generous. That bathtub over the cliff with a stunning view is a gold.

    Cassie and the camping site was just amazing. It is a perfect spot to go as a couple (which we did) and it would also suit if you are going with friends and families. I would totally recco this site and Cassie and might go again.

    Stunning hipcamp!
    Tent
    This place is absolutely stunning, the photos don't do it justice. Absolutely amazing as a relaxing weekend away as a couple (like we did) or I'm sure just as great as a small group. The bath is a real treat whilst camping!

    Outdoor glamping at its best
    Tent · With kids
    The property is a slice of paradise, we were immersed in the sounds of nature and beautiful scenery and stars during the nights. We sat by our cosy camp fire and ate like royalty with not a soul to bother us, my kids absolutely loved the outdoor bath looking over the Colo River

    Deluxe camping
    Tent · Group trip
    Great escape away from the city, camping at its best with no neighbor campers (only wildlife), we enjoyed having the full site and well maintained facilities to ourselves. Nothing beats relaxing in a hot bath on a cold morning with the river valley view with kangaroos jumping nearby. Our wonderful hosts Cassie and Adrian were super accommodating providing us with more wood and other items. Thank you.
