Weekend Trip to The Ranch on Clarence

We loved staying in beddy blue at the Ranch. The whole experience was amazing, from turning up and being greeted by Jingles, 4 friendly dogs and a stallion, to staying in beddy blue which was super comfortable, to having a wood fired bath overlooking the river. Everything you need to have a relaxing stay was provided. We also added on a horse ride the following day which was outstanding. Shanti is very accommodating and easy to get along with, and we felt extremely comfortable on the horses she had picked out for us. We have mixed riding experience however the ride was exciting and enjoyable for both of us. We will definitely be back and look forward to doing so.

Weekend Trip to 'Elouera Vale' Farm

Everything was perfect for a quick night away. Wayne is a superb host and has set up a great area that feels remote whilst only being 10 mins from town. Also perfect for our 1.5 year old to run around.

2 nights at Watton Airstrip

What a great place to relax and enjoy the well kept and perfect camping areas on a beautiful riverscape. I loved the access track, pulling the caravan was easy and part of the experience. I highly recommend Watton Airstrip

3 nights at Eagle Ridge Bush Retreat

This is a perfect 10/10 campsite, situated on a beautiful river with tubes available on site to float down, the cliff face is epic and you can spot rock wallabies and the fishing is good, we caught a decent cod(catched and released). Super private, gorgeous bit of land to make camp. It might be the best campsite I've seen yet, will definitely be coming back!

2 nights at Jila Camp Grounds

2 nights at Crystal Creek Rainforest Treehouse

Aneta and Paul’s treehouse exceeded all expectations. Nestled in a peaceful, natural setting, the space was cozy, beautifully designed, and full of thoughtful touches that made our stay incredibly special. Waking up to birdsong and having coffee on the balcony felt like a dream. The bed was super comfortable, and everything was immaculately clean and well-prepared. Aneta and Paul were wonderful hosts—friendly, responsive, and genuinely caring. If you're looking for a relaxing escape that reconnects you with nature without sacrificing comfort, this is the place. We can’t wait to come back!

1 night at Grady's Riverside Retreat

the host was very nice. the camping spot was clean and welcoming

1 night at Watton Airstrip

We had a great stay at the Watton airstrip. We stayed at a riverside site and the water was magical. Damien was super friendly and helpful, offering suggestions on where to go around the area. The property views are unreal and you really feel like you can disconnect from the busy world. I would recommend staying at Watton airstrip if you get a chance. What a unique and stunning property. We stayed on a Monday night so it wasn’t a peak time, however the campsites are well spaced out so that you have your privacy. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven 🙏

1 night at Watton Airstrip

My second time camping here as my friend wanted to come along after seeing photos from my last trip. A lovely spot by the river with their horses roaming around and joining you at your camp spot.

Weekend Trip to Eagle Ridge Bush Retreat

This place is amazing and we will definitely be back. My parter and I booked two nights with our dog. We were in the Cove which was completely private, trees on 3 sides and the river on the other. The wood fire tub was the cherry on top. 4WD recommended to get in out, however we saw other people there with SUVs do fine. Definitely worth the trip from Brisbane, can’t wait to come back!

13 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents1100 acres · Tenterfield, NSW

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. There is approximately 4km gravel road to get to the property. Mobile reception is patchy (telstra) you may need to get to the top of a hill for reception. Very little or no reception for other networks. 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. 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. Send us a message if you have any questions.

Mellows Ridge

16 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents40 acres · Calderwood, NSW

Nestled right up against the escarpment at an elevation of 450m, this high-end, off-grid 40 acre property effectively offers your own private slice of Macquarie Pass National Park - amazing views, giant cedar trees, fern forests, cascading waterfalls and palms surround. It feels remote but it's only 90 min from Sydney, 30 min to Kiama and just 15 min to the shops. The property also offers the only hiking path up to the top of the escarpment for some truly amazing views. As of September 2024, all the trails on the property have been massively upgraded and are passable with a 2WD car. If you're towing or it's wet we still recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles. We've just (mid December) added a spa half way up the driveway. It can be booked through the extras. We're not particularly price sensitive - until all those rate rises - but we are extremely value sensitive so we set out to make your stay extremely good value for your hard earned money. The land itself does most of the heavy lifting but also personal service and of course there's Lana to fall in love with. Note, Mellows Rd is 2.6km long and rises 400m - in parts the road is a 15 degree grade. It's all paved but narrow so if you are towing a large heavy load, it's going to strain your car.
