Dargo Riverside Paddock
Relaxed weekend by the river
We love camping in this shady, grassy, flat spot. The kids had a ball in the clear river. All day shade meant no additional canopy required. The passing traffic caused some dust but it was Easter so expected it to be busy. Nearby dargo pub did an exception meal and coped admirably with the hords.

Another beautiful stay at Dargo Riverside paddock, we swam, we cooked, we laughed, we gazed at the stars, and kids ran wild. Thanks again Phoebe for having us at your piece of paradise.

Dargo Riverside Paddock
Secluded & private slice of heaven
Absolutely beautiful, private, secluded, plenty of space for the kids to run around and to set up camp. If you love being by the water and having space to stretch out without worrying about other campers than this spot is for you. The grass was maintained the water was crystal clear, shallow in some areas and much deeper in others for those who like to go all in. Wildlife galore we were greeted by deer, platypus wallabies & a resident goanna This spot is that good I’m tempted to leave a bad review just to keep its beauty a secret We will definitely be back thanks Pheobe

Dargo Riverside Paddock
Awesome
Best spot in Dargo! 3rd time there and we hope we can bag it for next Christmas! Grass had just been mowed, and the river was down and easily accessible. We swam, we sat in the sun, unfortunately not able to look at the stars due to overcast weather. One point I'd like to high light is that we did get a bit of rain, heavy at times, the site drained away very quickly, and we were left high and dry! Nice also to see some more areas opened up. Thanks Phoebe, this is the top spot in Dargo.....

The perfect camping spot alongside the beautiful Dargo river. Phoebe was responsive, friendly and the directions brilliant. Relaxing family trip at the most beautiful spot. Great big flat area for camping, gentle slope down to waters edge with a pebble/rock beach. Private and pristine with plenty of shade and a great big paddock for a game of cricket. Loved it.
