28km from Woody Head group campground · 5 sites · Tents, RVsOnly 10 minutes off the Pacific Highway.
Set in the peaceful hinterland west of Yamba and Brooms Head, and offers an escape surrounded by gumtrees, wildlife, and fresh country air. No traffic just nature noises.
Located just 10km along Shark Creek Road from Big River Way (note: the last 5km are unsealed with the occasional pothole). Keep an eye out for the wooden “DEERGUN” sign on your left, that’s your entrance to the campground.
Only 15 minutes from Maclean and around 30 minutes from the coast, it’s the perfect base to explore the Clarence River, nearby beaches, and the natural beauty of the region.
Each campsite is private, peaceful, and set among the trees, with composting toilets available. Firewood is free and water can be supplied, and in season you’ll enjoy lovely fresh rainwater. Access to shower available on request. There are fresh water dams to cool off in if you want.
No light pollution here so great night star gazing and the morning bird chorus is outstanding.
Whether you’re in a 2WD, caravan, campervan, or tent, all setups are welcome here. There’s plenty of firewood for a classic “bush TV” (campfire), and endless opportunities for bushwalking, bike riding, birdwatching, or simply relaxing under the stars.
Nature lovers will find themselves at home the area teems with native wildlife and stunning flora. The morning bird chorus is a great way to welcome a new day.
Pets on leashes are welcome to join you camping.
As Shark Creek and the Paperbark forest is nearby there may be a few insects about , the bush tv controls them but make sure you bring some mossie spray to be sure.
The camp has chairs and can supply gas cooker etc if you wish to travel light and have kayaks, body boards and fishing gear if wanted
Enjoy and smile
