Blue Gums River Retreat

We loved camping here! Such a beautiful spot right on the river. The sites are far enough apart and it was easy to access the little boat ramp to pop the tinny in. Toilet available too. Very special place, we loved it.

Serenity by the Mary

We loved the serenity, just watching the bird life on the river. Large grassy sites, firepits, we brought our own firewood but appreciated that there was an honesty box firewood for sale right down near the sites. Dog friendly. On our last night there was a storm rolling in, Tracey drove down to warn all of her campers that it looked like a bad one, much appreciated! Dirt road coming to the property is well maintained, 2wd access on site but the hill coming back out needed 4wd support to pull the caravan up the wet hill. Would definitely stay again, loved it!

Right on the river! What a view…

The hosts for the site are lovely and very accommodating. They are well spaced out and private right on the edge of the river. We were lucky and it was just us and one other site. Important to note that being on the river there can be boats and water sports. Also… follow the sign on the way out and put your car in 4WD drive if towing a big caravan so you can get out easily!
