Powered and Unpowered Campsites
UNPOWERED TENT CAMPGROUND…
Gives you the ability to set your tent up anywhere in the designated unpowered camping area. To preserve the serenity and for the comfort of all guests generators are not permitted, so if you wish to have power please select a powered campsite.
$15.00 per person per night. Children under 5 stay for FREE!
POWERED CAMPSITES…
Situated along the front of our camping area, the powered sites are perched on top of the rise allowing you to overlook the billabong and playground. There are 16 sites in all and you will be designated one of these.
$40.00 per site per night – inclusive of 2 people (max 5 people per site recommended, $15.00 per additional person per night). Children under 5 stay for FREE!
LARGE POWERED CAMPSITES…
If your caravan is over 6.5m (21ft) you must book a large powered site. These sites are also recommended for caravans over 5m (17ft) as they allow your vehicle and van to remain connected. These sites can also be utilized for large groups with tents, swags, small vans, rooftop tents, etc.
$64.00 per site per night – inclusive of 2 people (max 15 people per site recommended, $15.00 per additional person per night). Children under 5 stay for FREE!

“We really enjoyed our short stay at Roonka in the Bell tent. It was very convenient to have the tent set up and ready for us to bring our bags in. It was very spacious for 5 of us with room to spare. Nice grassy area out the front with a beautiful tree to read under. It is a great location where the children can enjoy the water safely.” Tina, January 2024
“We thoroughly enjoyed our recent Roonka Bell Tent stay – it was the perfect short getaway for our family! We booked the Bell Tent experience because we love camping, but currently only have a small family car & are not able to transport our “usual” camping gear. Not needing to set up a tent also significantly reduced our set up & pack up time, meaning we had more time to enjoy ourselves. The location was absolutely beautiful and perfectly located right on the river.” Alison, April 2024
