Misty Mountain Wildlife Refuge is a 330 acre farm which provides sanctuary to kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, echidnas and many bird species including their habitats. There are Alpacas and Sheep, Kangaroos, Wombats, Kookaburras, Echidnas and many other animals that enjoy this property.
The land has 80 acres of cleared grassland this side of the river, and for the adventurous and energetic you can rome the other 250 acres by crossing to the other side of the rive, there are large stands of rainforest and bushland, with 2.5 km of Brown Mountain Creek and its tributary meandering through it. There are some swimming holes and mini rapids; the crystal clear water flowing over the river rocks can be heard from most parts of the farm.
The land comprises Little Brown Mountain and has 360 degree views of the surrounding mountains and farmland with wonderful cloud formations and mists contributing their mystery and beauty to the dramatic landscape.
There is an orchard with trees producing several varieties of apple, stone fruit and citrus in abundance.
A cottage garden produces various vegetables and herbs such as spinach, celery, potatoes, garlic, chives, lettuce, rocket, parsley, turmeric, peas, beans, tomato etc.
Past bushfire damage to some trees in the cleared paddocks is evident however, many are recovering well and most provide photographers with interesting and dramatic subject matter.
Due to the catastrophic events of the NSW bush fires in this area all camp fires must be kept responsibly safe and no unsafe camp fires will be tolerated.
All Guests are required to have an acceptable camp toilet, no holes in the ground.
All river access points are shared, be mindful of others.
As dogs are welcome and even well behaved dogs will be dogs when it comes to their family,
all guests are advised to make themselves known prior to going near another's camp site, then there is no surprises either way.
May common sense prevail.
Thank you for visiting the farm.

Riverview is just a five-minute drive from the famous Bega Cheese Factory located in Bega, NSW. Our 33-acre property has 360-degree views of mountains, rolling farmland, and countryside and it overlooks the beautiful Bega River.
Tathra is just 15 minutes drive away, with Merimbula around 25 minutes, Bermagui 45 minutes, and Eden 35 minutes. All of these towns have beautiful beaches, fishing, boating, whale-watching tours, and much more.
Pack a picnic and walk to the river just down the hill from your camp site. The Bega river is clean fresh water and is well worth a visit on a hot day to cool off. Your hosts can show you a secluded area of the river that you can access easily. The whole area has an array of beautiful spots to explore both on the property and along the riverside. Jackie is always willing to give fresh produce from her veggie garden during your stay just to make you feel welcome. There are horses you can pat and a few sheep that are very friendly and love to be given bread.
The historic Bega Cheese Factory and Heritage Center is just a couple of minutes away. The main shopping center and mall in town is just a five-minute drive.
On our property, we can offer you a relaxing quiet stay in a secure area. You will love your stay at this little farm and the friendly service you will receive. We look forward to hosting you.

Undeveloped 7 acre bush block. Close to the centre of Kalaru and the lagoon. Minutes drive or cycle to mountain biking tracks and beautiful Tathra. Enjoy the sound of the bell birds. If you're lucky, you might see some native Orchids (usually blossoming around mid-November), or pop down to Tathra to watch whales on their migration or taking a break to feed south of Tathra Head.
Please note:
- This block is undeveloped, bar a short driveway. There are no services at this block (water, power, sewage, internet, waste collection etc.). It is the responsibility of campers to collect and remove their own waste. Info on the nearest waste facilities will be provided prior to check in.
- Ticks are present on this block. Please ensure that campers have appropriate supplies (or are prepared to otherwise seek assistance) to deal with ticks and that pets are protected appropriately.
- Snakes may also be present, although we have not personally sighted any.
- This block used to be attached to a nearby farm. The land is largely clean, but there are is the odd old bit of barbed wire or drum lying around. Please exercise appropriate caution when walking around the block.
- The block is heavily wooded. Bushfire restrictions may impact on the ability to have a camp fire. Permits may also be required.
- There are neighbours nearby. Please be considerate and courteous of those around them at all times. Keep noise to acceptable levels, particularly on weekends or in the evenings.
- Pets are accepted on the property. Campers are expected to clean up after their pets, ensure noise is kept to a minimum and that their pets are appropriately restrained (i.e. can't get at native wildlife or our neighbours). The property is not sufficiently fenced to contain pets.

The property is located 3kms from the small town of Bodalla, it is just over 100 acres sitting on the banks of Lake Borang (which flows into the Tuross River and Tuross Lake) and the fishing is great all year round.
It's also a fantastic waterway for boating and paddling. The property is mainly bush with lots of wildlife including emus, wallabies, kangaroos and the birdlife is abundant.
Part of the property is a working goat and bee farm.
We move the goats around the property so there will be times when the goats are close to the campsite.

We loved Earl’s Farm - best camp ever! We stayed for 12 nights over NYE. Loved the serenity, but with easy access to Eden. Heaps to do/explore - river, beaches, fishing, SUP-ing. We brought our own shower and used the very well maintained drop toilet. Flies were a bit annoying but that’s Australia for you.

This place was amazing. My partner and I truly were immersed in the bush and was able to enjoy the secluded lake as well. A bit dusty, but we personally enjoyed it.
Also, we saw 30 roo’s driving in, a friendly wallaby and it was so peaceful. We’ll definitely be back!

Our stay at Riverview was delightful. Firstly, the hosts were incredible providing a tour of the farm & river as well as providing fresh produce. It was a warm welcoming, we were very grateful. The camping was flat and spaceious. We were happy with the number of other campers on the site, not too close at all. It did the job and that's all that matters.

Really loved the relaxed spot! Was clean, great scenery and only 5 bookings allowed at a time which really made the place stand out as everyone had there privacy. Jackie was lovely and came over for a chat and offered to show us a secret swimming spot but after a long day travelling and early morning rise we declined, will have to come back again to see it!

Great flat spot for car camping. We had a Subaru Outback and navigated the road in just fine.
The lake is just a 5 min walk away perfect for SUP or kayaking a little murky for swimming when I was there.
Beautiful quiet spot lots of birdlife!
Thanks
