We are farmers, living the dream on 500 acres in beautiful Bellingen. Our farm is called Levenvale Farm. You will feel a million miles away, yet we are only 7mins into the town of Bellingen.
We run an organic cattle property and have found a few spots around our farm to share with campers and glampers.
Our campsites are "Beyond the Bridge" and "Old Flat Camp". Both are on cattle paddocks and have private access to Hydes Creek. Hydes Creek is a murky sandy base creek. There's lots of logs so its not recommend to jump in, but it's beautiful to cool off in the creek on a hot day.
Both campsites have access to our compost toilet, and camping shower (gas hot water).
If you prefer a bit more comfort or don't have your own camping gear, you can escape the hustle and enjoy being perched up on one of the highest points on the farm (with incredible views), in our Farm Huts. Both mHuts are furnished with beds and linen with limited power. Both gave private ensuite with compost toilet, gas hot water shower and basic kitchen. Book these Huts via our farm website.
At all our campsites, we welcome you to have a small fire, and cook up a BBQ. Our Farm Shop is open 24/7 to self serve and grab some organic beef sausages or steaks. Reach out if you want us to have them defrosted for your arrival.
All of our listings offer spectacular sunrises, sunsets over the mountains and wanderings through lush rainforest. Experience all the adventures of Levenvale Farm and reconnect with nature.

Nestled on the eastern river flats of the Bellingen Valley, Riverwood 383 invites you to experience the unspoiled beauty of the pristine Bellingen River, set within the heart of a working cattle farm.
Settle into your own riverside camp spot, where you can cast a line for fish and mud crabs, launch a kayak into the tranquil waters, or simply relax and soak in the serenity.
Launch a kayak let the river guide your adventure. Drift quietly into hidden fishing spots where the waters teem with life, or follow the current downstream to the picturesque village of Repton. For a different journey, turn upstream and wind your way to Bellingen, where the river snakes between lush green flats and rises into majestic mountain backdrops — every bend offering a new view, a new moment of calm, and a deeper connection with this timeless landscape.
Riverwood is ideally located halfway between the country charm of the town of Bellingen and the coastal beauty of Urunga — just an easy 8-minute drive in either direction.

We are farmers, living the dream on 500 acres in beautiful Bellingen. Our farm is called Levenvale Farm. You will feel a million miles away, yet we are only 7mins into the town of Bellingen.
We run an organic cattle property and have found a few spots around our farm to share with campers and glampers.
Our campsites are "Beyond the Bridge" and "Old Flat Camp". Both are on cattle paddocks and have private access to Hydes Creek. Hydes Creek is a murky sandy base creek. There's lots of logs so its not recommend to jump in, but it's beautiful to cool off in the creek on a hot day.
Both campsites have access to our compost toilet, and camping shower (gas hot water).
If you prefer a bit more comfort or don't have your own camping gear, you can escape the hustle and enjoy being perched up on one of the highest points on the farm (with incredible views), in our Farm Huts. Both mHuts are furnished with beds and linen with limited power. Both gave private ensuite with compost toilet, gas hot water shower and basic kitchen. Book these Huts via our farm website.
At all our campsites, we welcome you to have a small fire, and cook up a BBQ. Our Farm Shop is open 24/7 to self serve and grab some organic beef sausages or steaks. Reach out if you want us to have them defrosted for your arrival.
All of our listings offer spectacular sunrises, sunsets over the mountains and wanderings through lush rainforest. Experience all the adventures of Levenvale Farm and reconnect with nature.

Nestled on the eastern river flats of the Bellingen Valley, Riverwood 383 invites you to experience the unspoiled beauty of the pristine Bellingen River, set within the heart of a working cattle farm.
Settle into your own riverside camp spot, where you can cast a line for fish and mud crabs, launch a kayak into the tranquil waters, or simply relax and soak in the serenity.
Launch a kayak let the river guide your adventure. Drift quietly into hidden fishing spots where the waters teem with life, or follow the current downstream to the picturesque village of Repton. For a different journey, turn upstream and wind your way to Bellingen, where the river snakes between lush green flats and rises into majestic mountain backdrops — every bend offering a new view, a new moment of calm, and a deeper connection with this timeless landscape.
Riverwood is ideally located halfway between the country charm of the town of Bellingen and the coastal beauty of Urunga — just an easy 8-minute drive in either direction. Spend the day exploring Bellingen’s cafés, markets, and culture, or head the other way to Urunga for pristine estuaries, beaches, and ocean breezes.
As night falls, drift to sleep under a canopy of stars, with the gentle sounds of the river and the peaceful company of cows nearby—a true farm-meets-nature escape.
The ACCESS road to our campsite is flat and easy to navigate, though it is unsealed. For this reason, we recommend arriving in an AWD or 4WD vehicle for a smooth and comfortable journey.

This was our second trip to Vallis Oaks and it was everything we remembered it was! beautiful, clean, open, grassy camping area, the creek was stunningly clear and green, perfect for a dip. We saw turtles leisurely swimming around after dark. We were lucky enough to have the most divine weather all weekend. Sammy was lovely once again and quick to reply to messages. We had a very peaceful weekend once again.

This place is something else.. We booked campsite 5 for two nights and it did not disappoint. The sites are perfectly spaced apart and the fact you have your own part of the river to enjoy. Great they have the shower for quick wash offs. Partner caught some fish, wish we brought crab pots, though will next time. Would recommend 100%. We plan to come back with our sons in the near future to show them this amazing place.

This property was so beautiful. The views are absolutely stunning. We were on powered site 1 right up on the hill. The kids had the best time running around the property. The facilities were clean and the caretakers were so friendly and helpful. They even took us down to see the calves in the dairy. We will absolutely be back to stay

This site was amazing!! The site is well kept, quiet and the clear water perfect for a swim. It was the perfect place to kick back and recharge the batteries. Nick the host was great and nothing was an issue, directions were clear and easy to follow. We would definitely stay here again.

Does it get any better!! We took the lake view. The other sites up higher looked great too. We ate a big rig and only just turned around on site and then had to exit up the hill. But amazing location. Great couple managing it. Views. Stars. Fire. Green grass. Cows. What more do you want.

Wow, what a great spot to base yourself to do the area and Coffs Harbour! Very tidy sites, each with its own fire pit and the cleanest toilet.
Fire wood there if you wish to purchase too.
Top spot 11 put of 10 definitely will be back.
Great for Big Set ups too.

Loved the serenity. Although no one else was there. Camps are spread out though. We are a bigger rig. High 22ft caravan and large truck. The track in is tight with branches. Needs trimming. Would stay again if trimmed Drive in.
Bought some meat from their store. Haven’t tried yet.
