Site 1. Flat ground near Amenities

A beautiful, serene and quiet camp. Camping amongst the orchard near the creek was lovely. So many interesting fruit. Amos was incredibly kind and hospitable. One of our favourite camps

Site 3. Gentle Slope

A peaceful and special camping spot

Camped in tent at site 3, highest up in the hill. Easy walk downhill to great loo and shower, both of which look out to rainforest. Lovely host Amos, his lovely mum, a few happy WOOFers and two cute friendly little dogs. Our dogs were very relaxed here, loved the trails up hill to a spectacular lookout. Watching the valley and listening to the birds was magical. So many fruits grown here I had never heard of. Post Jasper floods damaged the river, hope it recovers well. 4WD needed for creek crossing at entrance, and take away your own garbage (plus any litter you find). Campfire wood was provided and we collected our own kindling for a nice campfire. We would love to camp here again, fantastic experience, highly recommend!

Site 3. Gentle Slope

We loved our stay at gap creek, turned up late but was still greeted by Amos who is very accomodating. Lovely fruit trees on the property which made it a little difficult to navigate in our 4WD as we have a camper trailer but they provided good protection from the weather. Flushing toilet and hot shower which was just what we needed. We’d recommend having something to level out your trailer as the sites are on gentle slopes.

Amazing!

What a beautiful location! We camped in site 3, which is right up the back of the property. You could hear a pin drop it was so quiet! Woke up to cows on the other side of the fence, which my 5yr old son LOVED! The river out the front has changed alot from the pictures since cyclone Jasper, but was still VERY beautiful. The water was nice and cool. No crocs either, which was nice! Amos the host was very friendly, and hospitable. The amenities were spotless and well looked after. It was awesome to be able to have our dog there also. She loved swimming in the river too! All in all, were already talking about our next visit. This was just what we needed!
