Celebrated our first grandchild first birthday at RiverOak campsite. There were eight families and couples of us, the usual campers, and three families invited and we still left the campsite half empty. The campsite was neat with lush and healthy lawns, surrounding trees with the infamous oak tree that shades the prominent part of the campsite the bbq area where we mostly spend our days with picnic mats, camp chairs and hammock next to the river. Under the Oak tree were swings and kids loved climbing on it as the large branches are very low, dads and kids climbed and some just rest there. I see back in the days when I saw them enjoying the tree. We had our birthday boy and group pictorials under the lovely oak tree and came out good. The kids and adults alike also enjoyed the river which helped us a lot from a 36 degree temperature while some were just on their stretchers and hammocks having naps. We did fishing but sadly we didn’t catch any just because everyone was in the water most of the time. Boys did mountain biking 10 min drive from the camp. Hike on the trails etc. There is a fishing spot just outside next to the information centre on the main road which we missed on the way in because of watching our way turning heading to the campsite. Loved the hot and cold shower very clean that I put my bare feet on it. Wash basin outside well lit at night. Funny there was metal kitchen sink outside that looks like a hard rubbish sitting under a tree. I didn’t t

40th Birthday at RiverOak
21 ft travel trailer · Group trip
RiverOak is pure magic. We were blessed with the weather, which added to our fantastic weekend away for my husbands 40th birthday. So much room for our 6 caravans, 12 adults, 14 kids (3yr -11yr) The kids had so much freedom and it’s was totally safe. From fishing to swimming to mudslides, to cheese platters under the magnificent oak tree- just pure bliss. Wonderful big firepit for our evenings, and the little amenity block was clean and very convenient. Amanda made booking and staying here so easy and smooth. The communication we had leading up to the stay was 5star. Could not recommend this gem of a camping spot more. Thanks to Amanda and RiverOak for making my husbands 40th perfect!

A picturesque setting for a lovely weekend spent with friends. We stayed over the weekend at the end of April. The beautiful trees changing color, the well maintained site and amenities block was appreciated by all. We stayed for a birthday but everyone who came would love to return with their families. Far enough out of town that it feels private and secluded but close enough that you can duck in for a coffee or takeaway food. A true gem. We had a wonderful time.
