Nice site to stay over facing the river.
Clean toilet and shower. Spacious kitchen with utensils, pots and pans etc. Staying here so it’s handy to go do whitewater rafting, the office is right next door from the site. Highly recommended!

Couldn't recommend this camp more!
Unbelievably kind and caring owners who helped check me in on short notice after having to be towed to Murchison. An unpowered site is only $15 and you can park up right by the waters edge which is incredibly peaceful. I had lovely chats with the wonderful owner and her fully self sufficient life style is something to aspire to. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Great spot with a nice fella hosting.
Good toilets and showers along with 2 great kitchens fully kitted out with lots of utensils. Nice sitting area outside which would be great in the summer, alongside the river for a dip! TV lounge is fantastic with Netflix on the TV and a raring fire.

No need to book if unpowered but check in by 9pm.
Great ‘ jumping pillow’ which was fun even for us adults !
Showers are $2 for a hot one but cold is free. Laundry at $2/load also. Kitchen spacious and well equipped. Hardly any sandflies.
Overall a lovely place to stay.

A lovely quiet place to stay with friendly owners.
$30 for a non-powered site for 2 people for one night. Unlimited nice hot showers & laundry facilities for an extra cost. A great kitchen with a really lovely spacious covered veranda to sit on by the river to eat, chill and socialise! The only thing I’d say is prepare for lots of midges and mozzies since it is right by the river, not that this can be prevented at all! Just bring some strong bug repellent

Friendly greeting by a man working there but disgusting responses from an ill mannered woman when he wasn't around.
I was enjoying my stay until she opened her mouth and ruined my day. Due to the bad experience I'm forced to rate it low.

Owners are super friendly and very relaxed.
$35 for powered site and could choose any free spot. Kitchen is amazing with a beautiful view of the river. Only thing is the $2 charge for a shower but I suppose that makes up for the cheaper nightly rate. There were many bugs around so ensure your have bug cream or spray. $2 per washing and dryer. Would def recommend and return if I ever get the chance.

Absolutely fantastic campground!
Cabins are cosy and great value for money! Bathroom and kitchen is well looked after and very clean.
Staff are pleasant and helpful!
Spent a wonderful two days resting here.
Couldn’t recommend it more!

A very peaceful setting right by the Buller River.
Friendly staff and some of the cleanest facilities I have seen.

Great place right overlooking the River which offers a great swimming spot.
Lots free bike with a biking track right at doorstep. Also offers a fully equipped kitchen and beautiful decking area. The owner even offers us free hot showers. Would love to stay again. Best of it all no sandflies!

We weren’t planning on staying in Murchison, but it was getting late and the area we were planning on staying was still an hour away.
We are so lucky we came across this gem. The water hole was just what we needed at 28 degrees, got to pick our own tent site and had the option of bush or water front, facilities were well kept and clean, showers were thought out with the payment box inside the shower cubicle.

Friendly greeting by a man working there but disgusting responses from an ill mannered woman when he wasn't around.
I was enjoying my stay until she opened her mouth and ruined my day. Due to the bad experience I'm forced to rate it low.
