Cracknback is situated on the beautiful Macleay River in the Mid North Coast of NSW. The campsite covers approximately 5 acres of private riverfront property.

Cracknback is the perfect getaway spot to enjoy majestic mountains and pristine wilderness. Perfect location for bass fishing, swimming, canoeing or just chilling out under the stars. Lots of flat ground for kids to ride bikes.

Hot showers and flushing toilets give some creature comforts with basic, large camping sites.

The property is located halfway between Kempsey and Armidale, nestled between working cattle stations and country homesteads.

Fire pits provided but please bring your own wood.

This is a 'leave no trace' property. We ask that you take all rubbish home and leave your site as pristine as you found it.

This is a working farm and a work in progress!
