WINDY BANKS Hidden away on the river, beyond the bush, you will find a very private secluded 7 acres which will give you the privacy and the interaction with nature you seek. Stunning sunsets over the river and the rustling of gum trees in the breeze will make you feel like you are the only one on earth. Birds will sing you a song as you cook up a meal over the fire. If your lucky you might even see the local dolphins have a play.Windy Banks is a little out of your way from your travels north or south, but well worth your while if you are seeking privacy and a typical Australian bush setting. The river gives you cooling breezes in the afternoon, and you will see plenty of wildlife. You will have your peace and quiet and are invited to stay short or longer term. As you are back to basics in the bush, it is best you bring your own water, provisions, toilet facilities and rubbish disposal. We would like you to leave nature untouched for the next guest to enjoy.There are allocated fire pits for each site with swing over BBQ plate, fire restrictions must be followed. The site overall is covered in typical Australian bush, which brings with it your usual Australian characters like goannas, echidnas, wallabies, kangaroos and you might even get a laugh out of the kookaburras and see the occasional wedge tailed eagle!

Site 1 river bend

We had a great time at Windy Banks. The stand out things for us were privacy, dog friendliness, river front, and ease of fishing. Our kids (10-12) had a great time, but I wouldn't recommend for young children due to the steep river bank. We definitely plan on visiting again.

Disappointed

Quite an average site - while the view is lovely, there isn’t too much more to it, and the sites are not fantastic. The site I was supposed to stay at had a washing line with some other peoples things there and quite a mess….. I feel the place was over priced and the images online don’t really display the actual setup etc

Great communication from Mike, lovely spot for the weekend I’m surprised there wasn’t 1000+ reviews on this campsite!

The views were amazing! We had a great time on Mikes land even though we thought we would end up in the river a few times with all the rain! Once the rain stopped the water receded quite quickly. Mozzies were pretty bad but nothing repellant and coils couldn’t handle!
