Located 1km outside Branxholm, upstream of the Ringarooma River is a 36-acre private business estate where you'll find your Hipcamp on a small, private, stretch of river frontage. This camp provides a scenic, quiet camp away from the chaotic crowd of a caravan park. Fires are permitted, firewood is provided free of charge. Kayaks are provided on request. Please be fully self-contained as there are no toilets or facilities. We ask that you don't wander around the property unless discussed with the owner. This camp is still a work in progress as reflected by the price, please offer constructive criticism and suggestions. Please contact me if you'd like to book additional vehicles.Dragon River Camp is fully private, if you book, you'll have the place to yourself. The campground is a flat, grassy space shaded by myrtle and wattle trees directly on the river frontage. The river is perfect for cooling off on a hot day, or catching that Instagram-worthy fish. Also keep your eyes peeled for the common platypus occurrence. Alongside the campsite is a short bush trail to the river "spa" area, perfect for swimming and fishing. A firepot and firewood is provided, and kayaks can be provided on demand. Generators allowed 9am-8pm, please discuss with the owner for any extension outside these hours. This site has no amenities so please be fully self-contained.

An amazing place to be on our own to enjoy an incredible, peaceful, private campsite on the edge of the Ringarooma river. A beautiful, flat grassed area with ample wood supplied, thanks to our hosts James and his Dad, Graeme, who checked on us daily over our 3 night stay to make sure our needs were met and to explain the walks and history of the local area. The local Pub and restaurants were within walking distance from the campsite and we would definitely recommend this campsite. We'll be back!!

This is a gem of a campspot set on the banks of the Ringarooma River. It was private with only the sounds of nature for company. Some lovely bushwalks on the property and in the area to take in the beautiful scenery and learn about the tin mining history. Graham and Christine (James' parents) were the perfect hosts, welcoming us and offering suggestions for walks etc. We saw platypus in the river, the alpacas were friendly and the local Cafe, and Italian restaurant food was authentic and tasty. Would certainly recommend this site for a peaceful and pleasant stay.

Magical spot next to the river, easy ride or drive away from Derby bike tracks, close to shop and lovely hosts! We bathed in the river and sat around the fire at night, can’t wait to be back.

Little gem by the river.
What a little gem. It was a lovely camp all to ourselves which we love. Beautifully situated on the river with plenty of sunshine for solar and some shade for the warmer days. Close to Derby and only 30 mins from gorgeous Bridport. All round great spot.

A gem!
What a beautiful spot next to the river! Our hosts Graham and Christine were so lovely. We attended an alpaca fiber processing workshop and just loved it. The cottages are beautifully set in the bush, and the facilities are lovely. Can't wait to go back!
