Private pitches

100% of recent Hipcampers say pitches are private.

This property is located at the base of Mount Richmond, just 15 minutes from Portland. Bridgwater lakes is just down the road. And Bridgwater bay about 10 km from camp. We have grassy site available with plenty of shade for self contained campers. We often have Kangaroos and Koalas along with plenty of other wildlife on the property so keep an eye out and make the most of a great wildlife watching opportunity. There are a number of water holes on the property the wildlife like to enjoy. The property borders a section of the Great South West Walk and you can easily get onto the track from here. This walk has some stunning scenery and is a great spot to enjoy this part of the coastline, all from a comfortable base back at camp. Campfires are permitted in the fire pit provided pending there is no restrictions in place. Pets are welcome but please clean up after them and ensure they respect the wildlife in the area. We look forward to welcoming you to Shaddy gums.

Camp 1 under the gums

Nature at its best

Absolutely loved this place. Close to Portland and Cape Bridgewater but felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. We even had a resident koala we named Toni Collette! Loads of little wrens, kookaburras, a great fire pit and dark starry nights, very easy to find and a friendly host. Brilliant. We’ll be back.

Camp 2 by the water hole

Wonderful private bush camp - plenty of wildlife including Koalas (we saw three koalas in the separate trees within 100m of the camp site), emus, and lots of bird species. Brendon was very responsive to an issue from a previous camper and provided plenty of firewood for the fire pit.

Camp 1 under the gums

We enjoyed complete peace in a natural environment. There was a nearby walk & Brendon was thoughtful enough to check we had enough firewood for an additional day we decided to stay. I’m happy to recommend ! John

Camp 1 under the gums

Bush camp favourite

If you love bush camping, you’ll love Shaddy Gums. Birds, koalas, roos, privacy and ideally situated 15 mins from both Portland and cape bridgewater. A mere 400m or so from the terrigal camp on the GSWW. And Brendon was super helpful with info and firewood. Highly recommend.
