Aaron left a review on October 7th, 2020
If you're after a picturesque view of the river, your own private beach and peace and quiet look no further! An absolute gem of a spot to camp! Very lovely kind welcoming hosts. Great spot for kids to swim an kayak, great fishing spot, relaxing and quiet, with an amazing view. Highly recommend! We will be back.
Christian left a review on October 19th, 2020
Nice high camp overlooking the river, convenient short drive to village. Good for boating, kayaking.
Sara left a review on November 1st, 2020
We had an absolutely amazing weekend away at Hacketts Haven!! The peace and quiet is just what we needed. The property is perfectly cared for and absolutely picturesque. Imagine lush green paddocks that ease onto the beautiful Clarence River. It is the swimming spot of our dreams! We will be back for sure!

Yvette left a review on November 29th, 2020
Sandy waterfront was fantastic but access was steeper than we expected, still well worth the effort.
Joanna left a review on December 23rd, 2020
We loved every minute, extended once and tried to extend again! What a fabulous location, spent the days kayaking on river and nights taking in the stunning sunsets. What a beautiful part of the world. Host was so helpful. We will definitely be back. Camped on lush green grass overlooking the river, dog loved it too.
Emily left a review on January 1st, 2021
Lovely spot on the river with great views. There was a somewhat sandy 'beach' below the camping area which makes for a good place to swim. The host was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Only suggestion to improve camp comfort would be to bring a ground sheet as the grass was a little long (not a bad thing, for the cows - looking forward to coming back again.
Emily left a review on January 1st, 2021
Lovely spot on the river with great views. There is a little 'beach' below the campsite, which makes for a good spot to swim. We took our tinny as the river is quite big in this area and there is a public boat ramp about 300m upstream. The host was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Only suggesting to improve camp comfort would be to bring a ground sheet as the grass was a little long (not a bad thing for the cows. Would 100% recommend this spot.
Wayne left a review on January 5th, 2021
Great location. Wonderful vista over the Clarence. Solitude. And if you want - 800m through the paddocks to the pub!
Wayne left a review on January 7th, 2021
We parked our camper trailer up on the banks of the Clarence River and enjoyed the panoramic views and the quiet seclusion - only [pleasantly] interrupted by the very friendly and inquisitive cows. Could not have asked for a better experience. Plenty of things to do - day trips to Grafton/Maclean/Yamba/Broomes Head - and the Clarence Gorge - as well as canoeing down the Clarence River. Mix it with the locals and other travelers at the Rest Hotel just 800m through the paddocks from the campsite.
Verity left a review on January 18th, 2021
Such a beautiful spot, right on the river!!! The site was very private and well looked after. We absolutely loved it. Had a few swims, chatted to some cows and watched an eagle circle right over us. Awesome spot for the paddle boards and sunset (and sunrise) views were epic! Definitely recommend, definitely coming back. A few March flies around but the hosts had left hard core bug repellent out for us, so they weren’t a problem!
Richard left a review on April 6th, 2021
What a magical place. Great swimming, great scenery and wonderful location. Peaceful piece of paradise not to far from Grafton and at the doorstep of Copmanhurst. After a few days cooking on the camp fire we decided to walk 1km to the pub for dinner. We will return to this property for sure. Host was awesome and kept in touch with us prior to arriving due to covid, sms us on arrival and then on our departure to wish us safe travels. 10 out of 10.
Peter left a review on May 3rd, 2021
Larissa was an amazing host, providing easy communication and direction on how to get to the site but also provided us with some additional while your here info which was amazing and we look forward to using it on a longer stay It is an amazing location and was so nice to have a private space on the river, well just us and the cows and the lone horse that walked amongst them. Got my workout walking down to the river and back but totally worth it The site is described exactly as advertised so if you are camping (ie can't level it out) be prepared as the site is lumpy and bumpy. I am torn giving the site a thumbs up simply as I fear it will be harder for me to book in again
Peter left a review on May 5th, 2021

Beautiful camp site overlooking the Clarence, all grass with plenty of room as you're the only one's there. Beach area to launch kayaks. Definitely need a 4WD to access, mainly if damp or raining for one short section just before camp site. Definitely be back.

Trudy left a review on December 22nd, 2021
What a great experience - Amazing views in every direction - very private with nothing to bother you but a few curious cows. Access down to the sandy riverbank was easy and the dogs had an amazing time off lead swimming and wrestling in the sand. The River was a great spot to cool off in the afternoon. Loved every minute!!
Jacqueline left a review on January 4th, 2022
We loved our stay here. Very private with gorgeous views. Great swimming and kayaking. The directions worked really well for us. We had a lot of rain which made it hard for us to get our camper out with a 4wd, so definitely 4wd only.
Rafael left a review January, 2022
Very nice spot to swim in the river with a beautiful access point, we watched a spectacular sunset from the water.
It was fun for the dogs too, they had a blast cooling off and playing in the water.
Heather left a review February, 2022
Beautiful, peaceful spot on the Clarence with soft, green grass.
Locals at the pub were welcoming and best pizzas.
Such a great spot.
Kate left a review February, 2022
We loved camping at Larissa’s farm - the kids swam all day in the river and loved exploring the land.
We found the walk down to the river easy and perfect sandy area for swimming and launching kayaks etc.
Larissa is a deligtful host and nothing is too much trouble.

If you're after a picturesque view of the river, your own private beach and peace and quiet look no further! An absolute gem of a spot to camp! Very lovely kind welcoming hosts. Great spot for kids to swim an kayak, great fishing spot, relaxing and quiet, with an amazing view. Highly recommend! We will be back.
Christian left a review on October 19th, 2020
Nice high camp overlooking the river, convenient short drive to village. Good for boating, kayaking.
Sara left a review on November 1st, 2020
We had an absolutely amazing weekend away at Hacketts Haven!! The peace and quiet is just what we needed. The property is perfectly cared for and absolutely picturesque. Imagine lush green paddocks that ease onto the beautiful Clarence River. It is the swimming spot of our dreams! We will be back for sure!

Yvette left a review on November 29th, 2020
Sandy waterfront was fantastic but access was steeper than we expected, still well worth the effort.
Joanna left a review on December 23rd, 2020
We loved every minute, extended once and tried to extend again! What a fabulous location, spent the days kayaking on river and nights taking in the stunning sunsets. What a beautiful part of the world. Host was so helpful. We will definitely be back. Camped on lush green grass overlooking the river, dog loved it too.
Emily left a review on January 1st, 2021
Lovely spot on the river with great views. There was a somewhat sandy 'beach' below the camping area which makes for a good place to swim. The host was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Only suggestion to improve camp comfort would be to bring a ground sheet as the grass was a little long (not a bad thing, for the cows - looking forward to coming back again.
Emily left a review on January 1st, 2021
Lovely spot on the river with great views. There is a little 'beach' below the campsite, which makes for a good spot to swim. We took our tinny as the river is quite big in this area and there is a public boat ramp about 300m upstream. The host was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Only suggesting to improve camp comfort would be to bring a ground sheet as the grass was a little long (not a bad thing for the cows. Would 100% recommend this spot.
Wayne left a review on January 5th, 2021
Great location. Wonderful vista over the Clarence. Solitude. And if you want - 800m through the paddocks to the pub!
Wayne left a review on January 7th, 2021
We parked our camper trailer up on the banks of the Clarence River and enjoyed the panoramic views and the quiet seclusion - only [pleasantly] interrupted by the very friendly and inquisitive cows. Could not have asked for a better experience. Plenty of things to do - day trips to Grafton/Maclean/Yamba/Broomes Head - and the Clarence Gorge - as well as canoeing down the Clarence River. Mix it with the locals and other travelers at the Rest Hotel just 800m through the paddocks from the campsite.
Verity left a review on January 18th, 2021
Such a beautiful spot, right on the river!!! The site was very private and well looked after. We absolutely loved it. Had a few swims, chatted to some cows and watched an eagle circle right over us. Awesome spot for the paddle boards and sunset (and sunrise) views were epic! Definitely recommend, definitely coming back. A few March flies around but the hosts had left hard core bug repellent out for us, so they weren’t a problem!
Richard left a review on April 6th, 2021
What a magical place. Great swimming, great scenery and wonderful location. Peaceful piece of paradise not to far from Grafton and at the doorstep of Copmanhurst. After a few days cooking on the camp fire we decided to walk 1km to the pub for dinner. We will return to this property for sure. Host was awesome and kept in touch with us prior to arriving due to covid, sms us on arrival and then on our departure to wish us safe travels. 10 out of 10.
Peter left a review on May 3rd, 2021
Larissa was an amazing host, providing easy communication and direction on how to get to the site but also provided us with some additional while your here info which was amazing and we look forward to using it on a longer stay It is an amazing location and was so nice to have a private space on the river, well just us and the cows and the lone horse that walked amongst them. Got my workout walking down to the river and back but totally worth it The site is described exactly as advertised so if you are camping (ie can't level it out) be prepared as the site is lumpy and bumpy. I am torn giving the site a thumbs up simply as I fear it will be harder for me to book in again
Peter left a review on May 5th, 2021

Tod left a review on November 1st, 2021
Beautiful camp site overlooking the Clarence, all grass with plenty of room as you're the only one's there. Beach area to launch kayaks. Definitely need a 4WD to access, mainly if damp or raining for one short section just before camp site. Definitely be back.
Tod left a review on November 14th, 2021

Trudy left a review on December 22nd, 2021
What a great experience - Amazing views in every direction - very private with nothing to bother you but a few curious cows. Access down to the sandy riverbank was easy and the dogs had an amazing time off lead swimming and wrestling in the sand. The River was a great spot to cool off in the afternoon. Loved every minute!!
Jacqueline left a review on January 4th, 2022
We loved our stay here. Very private with gorgeous views. Great swimming and kayaking. The directions worked really well for us. We had a lot of rain which made it hard for us to get our camper out with a 4wd, so definitely 4wd only.
Rafael left a review January, 2022
Very nice spot to swim in the river with a beautiful access point, we watched a spectacular sunset from the water.
It was fun for the dogs too, they had a blast cooling off and playing in the water.
Heather left a review February, 2022
Beautiful, peaceful spot on the Clarence with soft, green grass.
Locals at the pub were welcoming and best pizzas.
Such a great spot.
Kate left a review February, 2022
We loved camping at Larissa’s farm - the kids swam all day in the river and loved exploring the land.
We found the walk down to the river easy and perfect sandy area for swimming and launching kayaks etc.
Larissa is a deligtful host and nothing is too much trouble.

Glenn & Zoe’s Riverside Rest is the perfect property to spend quality time along side the pristine Clarence River, it’s closeness to Yamba made it ideal for exploring in and around the area as well, accessing the property was easy with clear directions allowing for trouble free navigation to the 4 campsites, also well signed, our site 4 was very clean & level, being manicured to a very high standard, Zoe checked in with us making sure everything was in order also offering valuable local knowledge of the area, we certainly recommend Riverside Rest & will be back in the future,

What a lovely location on the banks of the Clarence River.
Communication from the host (James) was great and he greeted us on arrival and explained how to use the facilities available.
We had the property (5 sites) to ourselves and James was more than happy for us to set up on anyone we chose.
As we entered the site through the cane field it opened up providing us with expansive views of the Clarence River and the beautifully grassed sites.
The sites are very quiet at night and during the day given the rural setting which was great.
We’ll be back with friends !

Justin is a fantastic and friendly host who made us feel welcome straight away. We had a stunning view from our camp over to the west providing excellent sunset views. The afternoon breezes at the top of the hill provided welcome relief from the heat at the end of the day. Justin pointed us in the direction of great food and things to do. 15 - 20 mins from the heart of Yamba but removed enough for peace and serenity. Molly and Bindi were gorgeous companions to have around and Justin checked in regularly to see if there was anything we needed. Such value for money for such a beautiful spot. If we are ever back in the area again it will be a pleasure to go back.

Beautiful spot on the river, well maintained. When I stayed there was only one other camper at the time which allowed for us to be spaced out. Set up is similar to caravan park in style which is fine when not many people there however I can imagine it could get quite busy.. lovely shaded trees, lovely views.
Toilets were well maintained and hosts were friendly! I stayed with only my dog and felt the entire time.
