Absolutely loved it. We were lucky enough to have it to ourselves for the first couple of days and it was delightful. The hosts went out of their way to make our stay amazing. The proximity to Talia Rocks was fantastic (look out for Bobtails on the way) and the short trip to Venus Bay was both handy and beautiful. Could not recommend it more if you're looking for that bush camp vibe.

Bush camping with little ones!

We’re a family of four (2 adults, a 1yo & a 3yo) & we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The camp kitchen, toilets & bucket showers were all above adequate given the style of campground. There was plenty of room for our little ones to explore. We were fortunate to have mostly good weather conditions, though windy towards the end of our stay & lots of flies! One area that could benefit from would be clearer descriptions of the beach track, particularly how far it is from the main campground. We stopped by the office three times & no one was there to ask, so we took the track on in our Commuter van. It was certainly worth it in the end, Talia Beach was beautiful!

Awesome Camp

Our group had a fabulous time at Coodlie Eco camp. The hosts were lovely and very accommodating. There are plenty of spots to camp either in open areas or secluded little nooks which our group of 4 vans, 8 adults and 7 teens chose. The 4 older kids also loved the Swag Huts 🛖. The bucket shower was also a fun and novel experience. The only down side was we needed another day so we could take up the opportunity to go on the guided drive with the host.

Very handy and quiet.

Nice quiet campsite with amazing bush camp kitchen. Lots of sites and might get busy at times but only one other camper while we were there. Well protected from the wind that stopped us staying closer to the coast.
