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.

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.

Welcome to Our Cane & Cattle Farm on the Clarence River
Step onto our four‑generation working cane and cattle farm, where the smell of fresh‑cut cane, the hum of farm life, and the shimmer of the Clarence River set the tone for your stay. Your adventure begins at the entrance, marked by “Rusty,” our old sugarcane harvester — a true piece of local history and a favourite photo stop.
The winding driveway leads you through the paddocks, past different cane varieties and grazing horses and cattle. The front horse paddock will soon become our upgraded camp kitchen and guest area, and we’re excited to keep improving the space while staying true to the farm’s heritage.
Life on the Farm
Days here follow the rhythm of the land and the river. Wander through the cane, taste sweet juice straight from the stalk, and see how sugarcane is grown and harvested. Enjoy bike riding, walking trails, quiet fishing spots, and kayaking or canoeing straight from the property. The Ashby Creek swimming hole offers a calm, sheltered place for a refreshing dip.
Life on the River
This part of the Clarence is famous for water skiing, boating, and long, glassy stretches perfect for exploring. The fishing here is excellent, with calm water and plenty of great spots right from the property. We often boat across to Maclean for supplies, giving guests a real taste of river life.
The sunsets here are something else — short, stunning bursts of colour that light up the whole river and paddocks. As the sun drops, the sky turns gold, pink, and deep orange, and the Clarence reflects it all like glass. It’s a quiet, peaceful moment where everything slows down and the whole farm glows.
Exploring the Clarence Valley
There’s plenty to do nearby — enjoy a meal at the Harwood Hotel, stop for morning tea on Chatsworth Island, or join in local favourites like the Maclean Cane Harvest Festival, Maclean Highland Gathering, Yamba, Iluka and Brooms head famous beaches and the Grafton Races. The Clarence Valley is full of character, history, and country charm.
This is a place for people who love the outdoors, appreciate real farm life, and want a mix of adventure and tranquillity. Whether you’re here to fish, explore, learn, or simply breathe out, the farm gives you a genuine Northern Rivers experience.

We absolutely loved our stay here! It was such a beautiful, peaceful and family-friendly farm stay.
The kids loved making full use of the playground and especially enjoyed taking the kayaks out onto the river from the property. The afternoon farm tour was a real highlight too — they got to feed the ducks, chickens, goats, sheep, rabbits, horse and donkey, which they absolutely loved!
We also really appreciated the fresh fruit, eggs and herbs from the garden. The hosts were so lovely and welcoming, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stop on our travels.
We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it to families travelling with kids!

This is an absolutely delightful location and stay. Cheryl is a wonderful host and if you have kids we 100% recommend joining her to feed the animals - goats, ducks, chickens, sheep, rabbits, guinea fowl, as well as a horse and a donkey. Although slightly on the expensive side for no power or water - we extended our stay as we enjoyed it so much. Our site was very shaded - so if you need solar don't pick site 3. Also the river was lovely to swim in.

Rick & Cheryl were very accommodating and friendly.
The kids loved feeding the animals and swimming in the river.
They had bikes, boogie boards and kayaks for the kids to have free use which means we didn't have to take ours.
Highly recommend this Hip Camp

Beautiful large, green and spacious campsites. Kids had plenty of fun on the equipment provided and enjoyed riding their bikes around. The creek had shallow sections which was perfect for the kids to walk through and explore. Kids also loved being able to feed the farm animals. Owners were very lovely, chatty and accommodating. Checking in to ensure we had everything we needed. We were offered to pick some lemons and blood oranges from the fruit trees after feeding the farm animals which the kids also enjoyed

Great camping spot in a fantastic location. The facilities were clean and well maintained, and the hosts were really friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend Bundilla River Camp.

Bundillla was a great stay for a couple of nights. Our Friday was very quiet and peaceful. The weekends look busier . Great place for young families. Would be a great summer spot right on the river.

Great campsite for self-sufficient campers. However a basic flushing toilet and shower are available a few minutes walk from the campsite. We stayed up near the pine tree on Lisa's recommendation. More private from the house, less sunshine but drier during the rainy time we were there.

Such a lovely place to unwind and relax with the kids. It’s peaceful, quiet and so calming, with absolutely no stress. We stayed on Camp 1, which is powered, and in my opinion it’s the best spot. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back! ❤️

We stayed in Area 4 which was a lovely spot with wide open spaces and great views. Hot showers and being able to preorder pizza from the cafe was also great. Very welcoming of dogs too which was great for our four legged family member! The place is clearly very well organised and maintained. We will definitely be back!

Watton airstrip was an amazing piece of country. The host are welcoming and the camp sites were well maintained. We loved our stay. If you visit the added extra of eggs and bread are well worth it.

Absolute perfect spot to switch off for a few days
We camped at ‘remote camp site’, sunsets were amazing and the distance between neighbouring campers was perfect, allowing our 2 dogs to run freely without interruption.
Greg was super lovely and friendly, and was happy to help out bring up firewood when needed
Shayne his offsider was absolutely amazing! We got stuck In a bit of bother when then rain came though making it quite slippery getting back to camp one afternoon, Shayne was absolutely more then happy to grab the tractor and lead us across another paddock to get to camp safely

Really lovely sites next to the water with some of the cleanest toilets I've ever seen at a campsite! The river is beautifully clear with a couple of swings above it and plenty of places to enter and swim. If you happen to be here on the third Sunday of the month the local town Uki (3 minute drive) has a Sunday market that's worth visiting!
