Buxton Bush Retreat is a privately owned parcel of 17 acres located 7 kilometers (6 minute drive) from the quaint seaside village of Buxton. The front 5 acres is 'home' to Kerrie and Brian, their two puppies (Jazz and Jaxi) and two cats (Bangers and Mash). The remainder of the property (about 12 acres) comprises of flat, well grassed areas and natural bushland. There are eight(8) well maintained, large, flat camping areas and each has its own fire pit. An initial supply of firewood will be provided. There is no water or power throughout these camping areas, hence they are only suitable for "fully self contained" motor homes and caravans. Apart from humans, dogs and cats, the property is inhabited by kangaroos and a variety of birdlife. The small township of Buxton is home to a mixture of permanent residents and holiday homes. There is one general store which sells most consumables, including alcohol. They also serve up meals every Wednesday. Buxton has a great little boat ramp on the Isis River which provides easy access for river fishing or to the Coral Sea for ocean fishing. So, if you're looking for a clean, comfortable QUIET and relaxing campsite with not too many people around then Buxton Bush Retreat many be just the place for you. No 'midges' or sand flies or dirt/sand camping sites .... all sites are flat and fully grassed and maintained.

Site 8 - Buxton Bush Retreat
Brian is lovely, as are his campsites. We were the only ones there on our Mon night stay, so completely quiet. Will choose a different site next time so we don't see any lights from nearby homesteads at all, but otherwise, a totally isolated experience & one we hope we can enjoy again eoth friends. Thanks Brian, you have this set up really well! x

This was a lovely quiet camping spot. Brian & his 2 dogs showed us the way to our spot. The site was quite large and very peaceful.

Awesome quiet spot. Privacy at every site and perfectly flat. Free firewood and plenty of birds and roos. Buxton is only 5min away by car or their is a bike path the whole way if you're that way inclined. Great hosts, highly recommend

Buxton Bush Retreat
Hidden gem!
Brians spot is beyond beauitful, i was surprised we had the whole place to ourselves. Manicured private camp sites with designated firepits and a haul of wood supplied on arrival. Kangaroos jumping around the field and feeding while the sun set, do yourself a favor and spend 2 nights to enjoy nearby Woodgate and Burrum beach, which you can drive on. Cant wait to stay there again.
