Welcome to Ridgeline Camping
Escape to 106 acres of elevated countryside with sweeping coastal and hinterland views. Just minutes off the Pacific Highway, Ridgeline is the perfect stopover without the detour — ideal for large caravans, motorhomes and touring setups, and equally suited to 4WD adventurers, rooftop campers and tents seeking space and privacy.
Wake to sunrises with kangaroos or cattle grazing nearby, and end your day with golden sunsets and star-filled skies.
Ridgeline is a genuine working cattle farm offering rolling grazing country, pockets of native bushland and the relaxed rhythm of rural life. Explore grassy hills and natural bush corridors home to native birds and wildlife. Whether you prefer an open site or a more private pocket, there’s room to spread out and enjoy the property your way.
You may notice livestock nearby and the occasional cow pat underfoot. During drier seasons, paddocks may not always be perfectly manicured — our cattle are our priority. What you’ll experience is authentic country Australia: space, simplicity and fresh air.
Feeling adventurous? Walk “Big Hill” for incredible 360° views at sunrise or sunset.

What a great place to camp! Each site is contained in its own space and beautifully kept. You feel as though you are far away from everyone but you are still so close to some great adventures. Nathan was so warm, welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend this site!

We had a great time at The Hill. The location was perfect, and no one around (apart from the goats which kept the dogs entertained). The toilet was built really well and close enough to the camp to walk to. And we loved the little seating area to sit at with the lights on a night time - a really nice touch! We'd definitely stay here again!

I really enjoyed my stay here. Louise is a fantastic host — very kind, friendly, and welcoming. There was plenty of space for everyone, and the land is well kept, which made it easy to set up our tent.
Compared to other farms I’ve stayed at, Louise has really gone above and beyond by providing a fully equipped camp kitchen and a large bathroom with a shower included, which made the stay extra comfortable.
The location is also excellent — just 20 minutes from Nelson Bay and close to many great attractions in the area, like Irukandji Shark & Ray Encounters and others. I would happily stay here again.
