Arrawarra, NSW · 22 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
One of Australia’s only true beachfront campgrounds, The Beach Arrawarra is a laid-back coastal escape where surf, nature and community come together. Pet and family friendly, it’s the kind of place where kids and dogs roam free, neighbours become friends, and evenings end around the campfire beneath the stars. Firepits (free) and firewood ($20) are available on site.
Shared with the Mojosurf camp, there’s an easy-going energy in the air, with beginner surfers learning on the gentle beach breaks right out front and salty stories swapped after sunset.
Whether you’re camping beneath the gum trees, glamping in a tipi, or waking to ocean views from a waterfront cabin, life moves a little slower here. Spend your days barefoot, breathe in the salt air, and let the rhythm of the waves carry you into a classic Aussie beach holiday you’ll never want to leave.

Located 19 km due east of the famous historical village of Tenterfield the working, cattle breeding, property "Mindoo" has recently opened its gates to campers.
Framed by the rugged border range National Parks "Mindoo" is 1100 acres of rolling green hills dissected by the pure, cascading, waters of the Cataract River which provide a number of private riverside campsites. Campers are encouraged to meander along the continually changing River and explore its many secluded swimming holes and enjoy the abundant wildlife that cohabitates with the Angus/Wagyu cow herd. Direct access to the neighbouring National Parks and State Forests offers an array of day trips to hikers, mountain bikers, or horse riders where they can discover the natural treasures of Basket Swamp and Boonoo Boonoo Falls, Woolool Woolooni, among others.
For those who require a little more comfort, and lets face it we all do at times, the Mindoo Cabin is available. Featuring three bedrooms, open plan living/dining/kitchen,and a shady deck overlooking the River the cabin sleeps eight and still allows visitors to partake in all the adventures that "Mindoo" offers with the benefit of a comfortable rest when the day is done.
Unfortunately horse riding is no longer covered by our insurance policy. You are able to bring your horses, however evidence of your own insurance policy must be provided.
Be as adventurous or as restful as you please as both options are freely available. Mountain Biking, Hiking, or just riding your hammock and relaxing we are sure you will enjoy your time at "Mindoo". All of our river sites are designated and are space apart.
As most of our sites are on the river and have farm tracks to access, if it is wet we may have to move you to a different site. 4wds are recommended for all sites and are required for some site. Please read the listing for the campsite you are wanting to book. Some of our sites do not suit caravans. All roads require high clearance vans.
If you do not like dogs or your own dogs are not very sociable Mindoo may not be the place for you. Daisy the Doodle (Golden Retriever/Poodle) and Paul the Pig Dog (a very gentle Bull Mastif/Catahoula) like to come and say hello to campers at The Park & The Junction.

We also welcome groups – if you're interested in booking as a group, please message the host, and we can open up extra sites to accommodate you.
In the evenings, gather around the fire pit under the stars – perfect for roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, or simply soaking in the peaceful sounds of the countryside.
As a working farm, you’ll often see cattle, sheep, and horses grazing in nearby paddocks (and if you're staying creekside, they may even share the paddock with you), adding to the authentic rural charm. Kids and adults alike love watching the animals roam.
Bring your camera, your campfire stories, and your sense of adventure – then relax under the stars. This unique slice of country life is ready to welcome you.
Please note there is no mobile reception at the camp ground, except for limited Telstra coverage (occasionally one bar) in some spots—perfect for a digital detox!

Weekend Trip to Kookaburra – Peaceful Bush Escape
We enjoyed our stay at Rainbird, the campervan was well equipped with blankets and basic essentials that made our stay cozy and relaxed. The scenery was gorgeous and our host Christine was quick to help when our water ran out and she also recommended a nice bushwalk not too far away. We're keen to come back and stay at this little gem soon! Thanks Christine and fam :)

Trickling Waters Glamping was a beautiful secluded spot, filled with all the luxuries you need!
Travel directions were clear, the grounds a very well kept. All amenities were clean and functional.
Sitting by the creek at the crack of dawn with a coffee watching the mist through the trees was peaceful way to start the morning.
My partner, myself and my dog had a lovely time. They have extra blankets of you need, drinkable water a toasty cuppa tea and the tent was delightfully bug proof!
Honestly cant think of any downsides to our stay.
We plan to come back in summer next!

3 nights at Trickling Waters Retreat
We had an amazing time at Trickling Waters! Truely private and tucketed away into nature right beside the running creek. Everything you could need was provided making our stay so comfortable!
The weather wasn't on our side for our stay but the tent was so cosy that it was never an issue, we just bundled up on the deck and in the tent listening to the rain and creek.
We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Ballina Beach Nature Resort
We recently stayed in one of the luxury glamping tents at Ballina Beach Nature Resort and had a fantastic experience. The tent was spacious, comfortable, air-conditioned and well equipped, offering the perfect balance between camping and luxury. The resort itself is surrounded by beautiful coastal bushland with easy access to the beach, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway close to nature without sacrificing comfort, I would highly recommend the luxury glamping tents. Would definitely stay again
