River Shack
Our favourite HipCamp yet!
Our favourite HipCamp yet!!
We’ll absolutely be back to stay here again. Had the most beautiful weekend at this secluded little shack. Verandah was amazing and so roomy, loft and mattress were so comfy and cosy, perfectly equipped bush kitchen (don’t forget to byo salt and pepper!), waterhole was so beautiful and clean, firewood was plentiful!
We also got lucky enough to see platypus!
Thanks you so much for having us 🤎

Site 4
Amazing for every camper!!
We always have such a good time there! The site is always completely spotless and the wood we bought burned so well and long. We were able to walk down to the creek whenever we wanted and overall had a really nice time. We will always recommend Phils land!!

Site 1 - Eastern Ridge
Great spot
Plenty of room for tents/swags and easy to find. Picturesque sunrise on top of the hill. Will go again!
Thanks Phil

Site 2 - Eastern Ridge
Great spot for a little getaway with a short walk to the river. Directions for getting there were easy and Phil met me on the track to the campsite to say hi. Thanks Phil.

River Shack
Needs a little Maintenance
The first time Scribbly Gum took my breath away was on arrival from the jaw dropping river views. The second time was half an hour later with the very obvious rodent presence within the cottage. We have used HipCamp quite a lot, and whilst The Shack is a wonderful hideaway with a very private feel, we feel that the neglected nature of the shack overtook any feeling of bang for your buck or peaceful oasis that this place has the potential to have. Even with a dog inside the house we saw (and heard) rats on multiple occasions and couldn’t even leave silicone based kid cups out of our cars without rats eating them let alone any food or the feeling of any crumbs which made the trip un necessarily stressful. We are not city folk and live in the country as well, but this was a little too much for us and definitely not worth the $$$. A little boarding up of holes in the house, a Band-Aid in the first aid kit or a proper drop toilet would have made this visit infinitely nicer. Whilst I understood there was only a bucket toilet here, there is something about driving 20 minutes with a bag of toilet waste in your car that makes the $142 a night seem a little rich…

River Shack
Scribbly gum cabin delivers again
Had a great time once again at scribbly gum shack !!
This is the second time we have had the chance to visit the scribbly gum shack and we had a great time this past June long weekend. The host Phil had great communication with us providing good directions and also passing on safety concerns due to high rivers after lots of rain.
The large verandah with a big table is a wonderful spot for a morning coffee or having a nice group dinner and there is also a great outdoor fire place for a nice night watching the bush telly under the stars.
The cabin is nice and basic with a small kitchen setup with a few basics provided and a nice fireplace to keep warm overnight and enough room to fit four to five people comfortably.
Had a great time spotting the wildlife around too, seeing a few Roos, two wombats and many wonderful birds.
If there has been rain make sure to wear good footwear as there are a few muddy spots around that can get a bit slippery that would be the only negative I would mention about this site.
Would highly recommend this hip camp to anyone looking for a great spot to get back to basics for the weekend and enjoy some nature while still having a cabin to hide away if the weather turns or the cold comes in.
