Can not fault Blue Gums River Retreat.... Tracey's property was beautiful, well set out and very relaxing camping next to the river. Tracey was extremely approachable, friendly and very accommodating with our stay. Green grass, camp fire pits on sites and wood available if you need it. A porta loo is available and is very clean. I thoroughly enjoyed my 4 nights stay and I will DEF come back. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

Amazing spot! Our favourite campsite by far! Grassed and flat near the water, clean and well maintained, a beautiful dock to watch the river. Will be back for sure!

Blue Gums is a beautiful property where you can relax and unwind. The river view, sounds of the birds and kookaburras laughing all added to our stay. Cooking on the fire and enjoying the warmth on cool nights with good friends was great too! We’ll be back 😊
