Lifestyle Brisbane. Hipcamp Review

This past Australia Day long weekend, Hol & Johnson spent their time doing what they love most-exploring nature and relaxing in style. They stayed at a stunning spot nestled right on the banks of the Clarence River in NSW. The location completely blew them away with its incredible facilities, breath taking scenery, and tranquil vibes.

We had an absolutely awesome time getting away from the hustle and bustle. Relaxing at the camp next to the river and going for a swim made this location absolutely perfect, we could not recommend it more highly.
