Loved this spot, right on the river and 3 mins drive to the beach. Grass wasn't the nicest to walk on barefoot but there were no prickles etc even our toddler was barefoot. Owner was easy going, but still ready to deal with some rowdy neighbours cranking music.
We would love to come back in better weather

I liked the openness and big wide skies over this property. It is across the road from a large river & a short drive to a good long stretch of beach that I think is unpatrolled and doesn’t have many people there even in the summer holiday period.

Perfect private spot by a running creek with plenty of space all to yourself. Very beautiful and peaceful, sharing the land with the cows. One of my favourite places to camp.

We had a great time camping in this beautiful part of northern NSW. The hosts were very helpful when we arrived and the animals on the site were very friendly. This camp-site is also very close to the local town which made things even easier. We would happily stay there again.

This was our second stay here and once again we had a great time. The site is peaceful, well spaced, and perfect for a quiet getaway surrounded by nature. Everything felt just as good as the first visit, which says a lot. It’s a place you can really relax and unwind. We enjoyed it so much that we’ll definitely be coming back again.

Great spot, quiet location, the beach is secluded and only a few minutes drive. We have a large caravan but was able to level it easy with some drive on wheel chocs. Would def stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Karen’s Hipcamp. We were self contained & camped up in the top area. We had an amazing view of the farm, dams & would watch the horses grazing each afternoon. The area was lush, quiet & peaceful and was only a short drive to beaches, shops & hotels. The horses on the farm were very friendly & we loved patting them. Mooball was only a 5 min drive away & there was a family friendly pub (with pool) and the Rail trail bike track was an added bonus. We look forward to returning here with family/friends soon and highly recommend this hipcamp. Thank you Karen

Stayed here for one night, owner met us upon arrival and showed us the camping area. Camping area is a mowed cane area surrounded by sugar cane fields.
Ballina roughly 25mins away.
Dog friendly beach only minutes away.
River directly opposite the property if you wish to fish.
Good location for our one night stay.

Beautiful land with the most adorable little ponies and horses. Definitely recommend stopping by (as well as rocking up with at least a little bit of daylight left - host was very accommodating but since you can park anywhere and there are a few small water bodies, it's better to arrive before night fall).

We stayed for 2x nights in a tent. Beautiful spot, short drive to Potsville for swimming. The view over the farm is fantastic, and extra special having the horses free roaming amoung the tents, they were so friendly and easy to pat. Daughters loved it. Pretty open and grassy so bring a canape if you want some shade.

Silky oak flat is absolutely the best Hipcamp I’ve been to. It’s a large flat site with shade and right bedside the running creek where you can just sit on the rocks and let the water splash over you or swim in the deeper swimming holes the water is crystal clear and very refreshing, I loved to sit and watch the turtles swimming.
Bryce is very friendly and accommodating with the firewood. Can’t wait to get back there in the near future
