Happy campers
The property was well kept. The owners were great and supplied fire wood and the most amazing eggs. The weather was not the greatest but had no trouble getting out when it was time to go. We did not get down to the river because of the weather but hope to return when it is cooler and not subject to storms. They are in the process of putting in a small par 3 golf course. Nice relaxing place to stay

Riverbend lagoon
The camping area was a lovely tidy mowed grassed area next to a waterhole. The setting was very relaxing, the reflections in the waterhole were spectacular. The hosts were friendly and helpful, fire rings and firewood were provided. Certainly worth a stopover.

Camping on the farm
Me and my partner both loved our stay at Riverbend! The hosts were super friendly and helpful. The farm was stunning and we loved being able to get up close to the horses. We will definitely be back to stay again sometime soon!

We spent 2 nights with 3 kids and had a great time. Ian and Vanessa were very accommodating and I would stay there again.
