Spectacular destination for the ultimate relaxation and getaway experience. We stayed and camped by the Karuah river down near the overflow area for 4 nights 🌙 Peaceful and tranquil, fire each night with not many other camper's as they had us all spread out . Riverwood Downs is a true credit to the owners, and the back story to Chris and Val's creation of this gem is one you will enjoy reading about for yourself. True dedication and commitment to visitors enjoying all their property has on offer. The ground's are kept to a beautiful standard as the staff's passion is reflected in the look and feel of the property. Just get here and enjoy the experience for yourself, highly recommend.

I camped here at Riverwood Downs for two nights and had a great time. I booked a River facing camp site. There was a good amount of space for one vehicle. I didnt have anyone in the campsites directly next to me, but I think it may have been a noisy, tight experience if there had been. There was a place for a campfire, which is nice. The team at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. I didn't have to use their services, thankfully, but I'm sure if I needed to, they would have been more than equipped to help me. The grounds of the property are expansive and could allow for some good hiking. There is good access to the river, where people were paddling and relaxing on blow up pool beds and tyres. The bathrooms at this place are immaculate. Quite often when you think of campground bathrooms, you think of dingy, wet, cold bathrooms, but there were very well maintained, and looked to be cleaned regularly. They are well lit and mostly pretty dry. This isn't a negative, but keep in mind that there is no mobile reception. This is well sign posted around the grounds and on the website, but just to be clear, there really is no mobile reception. All in all, lovely spot for camping. Would love to return.

Stayed at Riverwood Downs for the Big Country Campout. We travelled with friends and we really enjoyed our stay. The whole property was clean and tidy, even with so many people there. Staff were friendly and approachable. We stayed in a cabin which was clean and tidy with a kitchen full of appliances, cookware and utensils. Property and some of the cabins are pet friendly, and if your doggo likes playing in the river, then they'll love Riverwood Downs! Kiosk is available with a big range of food and drinks, as well as equipment hire. There is a restaurant and bar, but this was not open during my stay due to the festival being on. Highly recommend visiting Riverwood Downs, and I will do again.

My friends and I wanted to go camping this past weekend and wanted to try a new place so we saw Riverwood Downs and it looked amazing and wasn’t too expensive from what it said on the website. Getting to it wasn’t too bad and the location is beautiful. We check in and we get told the total is $600. This is very confusing and misleading as the website says $100 per site. It also mentions one site can fit up to 6 people yet the actual site can fit maybe 2-3 people. These aren’t powered sites either and we don’t have any amenities so not sure why it’s so expensive.
