The host was extra friendly and let us pick which site we wanted.
River was crystal clear and so clean. We sat on our camp chairs in the river and just enjoyed the beauty of it.
Spacious campsites with firepits at every site.

The men's toilet and shower facilities require significant improvements to enhance cleanliness, functionality, and overall comfort for users. In particular, the toilet in the men's section needs more attention, as it requires additional upgrades to improve hygiene, maintenance, and user experience. Enhancing these areas will contribute to a higher standard of sanitation and convenience.

Great location, close to our home. Sites well maintained and access to the beautiful sandy bottomed river a bonus for young children as it’s not too deep. Also suits floats and kayaks/canoes. Family campground. Will definitely be back.

The campground is ok, but it wasn’t our cup of tea.
Most camp sites are very close to the driving tracks, which is less than desirable. Space was a bit of an issue.
The grass was quite long at the camp sites and could really do with a mow to make sites more comfortable for customers (so they can see snakes etc). A little bit of effort in this regard would make a big difference.
The amenities were pretty gross and had a strong odour of sewage. We didn’t want to use them.
There were uncovered power cords running across the driving tracks, which seemed pretty unsafe.
Full disclosure… we have a 6m caravan which is not “off-road” so the site presented some significant challenges for us. I’d say the site is best for tent campers and those with off-road caravans. I really wouldn’t recommend it to people with normal road vans. We didn’t some minor damage due to clearance issues etc.

I loved my experience at Bielany Campground. It was just my dog and I on this trip. Richard gave me a quick run down on where everything was such as the toilets, showers and explained the different levels of the campsite, river access etc, then left me on my own.
I had the perfect campsite , level ground surrounded by bushland and a very short stroll to the river. I couldn't even see or hear the other campers there. I was looking for a quiet serene picturesque getaway to unwind and I wasn't disappointed. I'll definitely go again and recommend others to as well.

Next to the river which is shallow for kids but some part also deep enough to rinse yourself on a hot day. The swing to the water is a big plus. We had a wonderful time camping there. Thank you
