Your coastal bush oasis awaits! Higher Ground Retreat is 146 acres of coastal bushland at Shark Creek behind the coastal range of Yuragir National Park. Enjoy all the Clarence valley has to offer with the laid back lifestyle in the many rural and coastal villages. Enjoy the uncrowded surfing, fishing, kayaking, boating, bushwalking all along this pristine coastline. or take a day trip to explore the wilderness of the upper reaches of the Clarence River.
Higher Ground is an off-grid property that feels a world away, but is only 15 minutes drive from Maclean, 25 minutes from the stunning beaches at Brooms Head, Angourie and Yamba, and less than 2 hours from the Gold Coast. Visit our organic permaculture farm and experience the self-sufficient life you’ve been yearning for, with off-grid solar, tank-water and a waterhole for swimming. Vegies, fruit trees, heritage breed chickens with babies hatching, a shade house for seedlings – this garden is designed to minimise effort and inputs and maximize productivity. Learn about animal integration into the system, new ways of composting and food forest systems.
We have a homestead for rent, Glamping Belle tents and also a variety of camping options, Each site is relatively flat and has enough shade in the hottest part of the day.
Whether you are in the house or camping, you will have privacy both from your fellow campers with each site being at least 30m apart, separated by trees yet still open enough to enjoy the views of the land and each aspect of the sun throughout the day. We have a screened in camp kitchen for you to enjoy with fridge, tank water and solar power. Each site has a metal fire pit and plenty of space for 2-3 tents or caravan /motorhome with good access during the dry season.
The composting toilet and hot shower are close by. We are dog friendly as long as your pet is quiet and well managed. Off-lead can be decided depending on the dog and the interaction with our passive 10 year old Koolie who is very relaxed around other dogs. They must be controlled as sheep are nearby and we have an abundance of wildlife.
We have a slackline, a rope swing and badmitten for anyone looking to include more play in their stay!
Responsible campfires are permitted in the metal fire pits in designated area when restrictions aren't in place. Firewood can be purchased for $15 P bag
Full Mobile reception for Telstra and Optus although we encourage you to minimise screen time during your stay and immerse yourself in the off-grid lifestyle 😉.
The road in is also suitable for a 2WD but more comfortable in a 4WD.
Drinking water is provided. Please bring your own water for cooking and washing up.
We hope you enjoy your stay at Higher Ground 🙂

The camp is perfectly nested among the trees, in full immersion with nature. Wildlife is present all around and it is a true pleasure to get away from the rumble of the cities.
The land is level with heaps of room to set camp.
Mick has been super welcoming and was eager to give some very helpful tips about places to visit in the region.
If you’re looking for an authentic bush camp experience, that’s the one 👌🏻

We stayed for a week, a few days each side of New Years. Having a private site with lots of space is ideal for us. It means we can utilise the space and not have to worry about our dogs annoying anyone or having them couped up. We enjoyed the space, the camp fire and the trees. The proximity to Woolgoolga was great for day trips. Access is super easy and no hassles with having to be there at a certain time to meet the host for entry. Ben was friendly and welcoming and always responded to messages.

Nestled in the heart of the Australian bush, this campsite provided our family with the perfect escape. It offers a unique balance: mornings at the beach and cafes in Yamba (just a short 30-minute drive away) and peaceful evenings by the fire under the stars. Mick made us feel right at home with his warm hospitality and expert local advice. If you're looking for a truly authentic camping experience with easy coastal access, this is it. Can't wait to return!

A really nice, relaxed campground. Fantastic view from the very clean composting loo; great little camp kitchen and lovely farm dogs! Close enough to the beaches at Yamba; Brooms Head and the little town of Maclean (where there is a dump point - handy!). Would definitely recommend and would stay here again next time we are up that way.

The experience of camping in the bush was made into a true Aussie backpackers experience thanks to Mick, a true legend who made us feel at home whilst rallying the troops round the fire for a night of socialising and learning a bit about the bush wildlife. We'll definitely be going back to enjoy shark creek and the hospitality
