BUSH CAMPING

Buxton Bush Retreat is a privately owned parcel of 17 acres located 3 kilometers (4 minute drive) from the quaint seaside village of Buxton.

The front 5 acres is 'home' to Kerrie and Brian, their two puppies (Jazz and Jaxi) and two cats (Bangers and Mash) and 3 chickens (Soulla, Doulla and Voulla   .... Agupi passed away recently).

The remainder of the property (about 12 acres) comprises of flat, well grassed areas and natural bushland.

There are eight (8) well maintained, large, flat camping areas and each has its own fire pit.   An initial supply of firewood is provided and there is plenty more just laying around.

There is no water or power throughout these camping areas, hence they are only suitable for "fully self contained" motor homes and caravans.  

Apart from humans, dogs, cats and chickens, the property is inhabited by kangaroos and a variety of birdlife.

The small township of Buxton is home to a mixture of permanent residents and holiday homes.   There is one general store which sells most consumables, including alcohol.   They also serve up meals every Wednesday.  Buxton has a great little boat ramp on the Isis River which provides easy access for river fishing or to the Coral Sea for ocean fishing.

So, if you're looking for a safe, clean, comfortable QUIET and relaxing campsite with not too many people around then Buxton Bush Retreat many be just the place for you.

No midges, no sandflies and no dirt/gravel sites .... all sites are well grassed and maintained.
