Spacious, level camping well-suited for travel trailers over 40 ft long.

Quiet rural area with sealed road access north and south to the Pacific Motorway. Slashed grassy area with scattered trees, two dams, lowland rainforest, wetland with abundant birds and wildlife. Private ensuite with flush toilet, basin and solar shower with 240v light and power. Rainwater and bore water available and dump point. Caravan power available via 15A outside socket limited by 10A breaker. Reasonably flat 5-acre area one hundred meters off the main road via slightly rough but reasonably flat driveway. Mosquitoes are about day and night and a few ticks so repellent recommended. Only cooking fires are allowed in the bushfire danger period, a portable fireplace and free firewood is available but you may need to cut it up. Prefer no pets unless they are indoor or on a lead under control as this property has a private conservation covenant, pets should have tick and heartworm medication.

Wildlife includes abundant birdlife , Swamp Wallaby, Koala, Echidna, Bandicoot, Possums, goannas, carpet snakes and green and brown tree snakes. A good location to explore the Tuckean Swamp, the property takes in 20 ha of Lowland Subtropical Rainforest on floodplain and Melaleuca Swamp. Heading 4.5 km south along the road is the Bagotville Barrage from which you can explore the Tuckean Swamp by canoe for kilometres and observe the birdlife including ducks, comb-crested jacana and black swan.Site covers five acres, choose your own location, if you want power you will need to park close to the back of the shed where the toilet is. Booking for only one site per night.

42 ft travel trailer

Garry was welcoming and very helpful. Facilities were available as advertised and the shower/toilet supplied with a personal touch. The site is quiet with plenty of bird life. Garry is very knowledgeable and very willing to share the history and characteristics of the Tuckean wetland and its fauna/flaura. We would go back. (13m vehicle and caravan).

Very Peaceful

27 ft travel trailer

We stayed in our caravan for 7 nights and the peace and quiet was amazing. Lots of space, as a matter of fact, 6-8 groups could stay and there would still be excess space. But only 1 group at a time. Would have preferred the area was mowed as it was only slashed so grass quite long and lots of bugs. The private bathroom is a nice touch. Make sure you have your shower before late afternoon or the hot water will be no more. Overall I would recommend this camp, especially if you like it rustic and you’re a nature lover.
