Crap stay! Have to pay for WiFi, visits and to top that off the owners are horrible ! So rude! Never going back there! The prices are definitely not worth it and the river isn’t deep and is very cold! Worst stay of my life!

Review of Ashley Gorge Holiday Park
Reviewed 5 Apr 2021
My partner and I stayed here for a night and it blew us away. Easily the most beautiful, well equipped camping spot I have ever laid eyes on. Hosts were super friendly and we didn't get attacked by a possum. We're coming back.

Thank you so much Louis!
So glad to hear the possum wasn't partying on the roof of the Pod that night. See you soon :)

Hi Belle
Firstly it's autumn so please forgive us if you found the river too cold and if you had bothered to look there are plenty of beautiful deep swimming holes including one right opposite the playground. In fact rating us on the temperature of the river is quite ridiculous & I am sure shows the readers the validity of your review.
We will always grant a late checkout if not too busy but you never asked for one. Check out is 11am and although we reminded you of this at 12.45pm you were still on site supposedly not enjoying yourself until 6.30pm. Free wifi is certainly available but not to guests who should have checked out 6 hours earlier. Frankly we have never encountered such a disrespectful group.

We came here for our first trip with our caravan. Lovely spot with trees, grass sites and river close by. Lots of things for kids to do. Bush walks. Good facilities, but you need to purchase coins for the showers from the camp office. Will be back with family.

What a beautiful camp ground. It was our first camping trip with the kids. The camp ground is small but the sides spacious. Lots of play equipment for the kids, a favorite was giant Jenga.
Toilet and kitchens were older, but clean and well serviced. There was even fresh flowers in the mornings, such a lovely touch.
The river is beautiful, and you can hear native birds early in the morning. Heaps of trees and shade.
Yes there were a lot of sandflies but just take insect repellent.
We got there just after Christmas, and it wasn’t that busy, then really started to fill up about 30 December. Would be keen to go back when it isn’t so busy.

Labour weekend 2020 we booked 5 power sites for our family - a combination of kids and adults. These were plenty big enough for our large caravans campers etc.
This was our first time at this camp ground and we will be back - it was so green and lush , the facilites were spotlessly clean and had everything you could want . We loved the kitchen where table cloths and flowers adorned the tables and had small pottles of local honey we could try. Also a large range of spices and sauces and pots and pans etc we could also use if we needed to.
The swings etc in the trees for the kids and the play equipment were well used. Camp shop was also handy . Very friendly and welcoming staff /owners.. Sandflies were a pain but insect spray and citronella candles worked well. Thankyou so much we can't wait to return .

Hi Noeline
So glad the group enjoyed their stay, the weather gods were certainly shining on us that weekend.
We spent lock down making new games for the kids & the honey is from some hives we had in the back garden.
We do try to give the camp a homely feel. See you all again soon. Cheers Sally

Sally was such an awesome host. My cousin and I enjoyed a weekend away from our husbands and children. The Tent was set up with everything we needed. I am definitely coming again and I’ll bring my husband too
