The sites are level pastured camping areas with lovely trees providing good shade alongside the river. We have tried to preserve the natural ecosystem on the river bank so it is heavily wooded and largely untouched.
The total area for camping is approximately 500 metres with only four sites spaced far apart to ensure plenty of space and privacy. Each site has very easy access to the river, via a couple of tracks.
You can enjoy swimming and kayaking in the river. Fishing is welcome when permitted but must be catch and release only. There is plenty of wildlife to see, especially for bird watchers: kingfishers, parrots and birds of prey as well as platypus, air breathing lungfish and Mary River turtles.
Access is 4WD or AWD only.
In severe weather the Mary River can flood. Be prepared to leave in extreme weather.
Campers must be self sufficient with their own camping toilet and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure.
Pets are welcome.
Such a lovely and spacious campsite. Easy to set up camper trailer with good access to the site. The dog loved the freedom off leash for the weekend, with no campers nearby to be concerned about. The swimming was awesome in the Mary River, just down from the campsite, we had a good 100 metres of river to ourselves to enjoy all weekend. Not far to drive to Kenilworth to visit markets or pick up treats or supplies. Great to have limited mobile coverage, encouraging some down time from phones, but enough range if you really need to connect. Ready to return very soon for another relaxing getaway. Thank you to Gordon and Rachael for sharing your beautiful property.
Great spot for self-contained campers or caravanners. Four official campsites but lots of flat areas to choose from allowing you to be well separated from other sites. Access to Mary River for kayaking, swimming or fishing is possible but a little challenging with steep slope.
