The Ultimate Off-Grid River Frontier: Gold, Cod, and Campfires
Ditch the crowded holiday parks and bring the family to a place where "getting away from it all" actually means it.
We’re offering 6 acres of raw, absolute river frontage on the Dumaresq River. This isn't a manicured lawn—it’s a rugged, private wilderness where your only neighbors are the kangaroos and the stars.
If you have a self-contained caravan or a sturdy tent setup, this is your playground.
No houses, no streetlights, and no sirens—just the river and the bush.
Adventure for the Whole Family
Strike it Rich: This isn't just a gimmick; people are still finding gold in the riverbed.
Grab a pan, teach the kids how to read the ripples, and spend the afternoon hunting for "color."
The Big Catch: The Dumaresq is legendary for its fishing. Whether you’re a pro or it’s the kids' first time wetting a line, there is plenty of action under the surface.
Off-Grid Living: This is the perfect spot to teach the kids some bushcraft. With no Wi-Fi to distract them, they’ll be busy spotting platypus and building the perfect campfire.
The Midnight Gallery: Because we are kilometers from the nearest house, the light pollution is zero. The night sky is so bright it feels like you can reach out and grab the Southern Cross.
Who’s Hiding in the Bush?
The property is a highway for local wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for:
The Icons: Eastern Grey Kangaroos and Wallabies jumping through the scrub.
The Rare Finds: If you’re quiet at dawn, you might spot a Platypus or an Echidna foraging.
The Raptors: Watch Wedge-tailed Eagles soar above the river looking for a meal.
The River Crew: Azure Kingfishers (bright blue streaks over the water), Turtles sunning on logs, and Pelicans.
Fisherman’s Log
The Dumaresq is home to some of Australia’s most iconic freshwater species:
Murray Cod: The heavyweights of the river.
Golden Perch (Yellowbelly): A favorite for the frying pan.
Silver Perch & Dewfish: For a fun, active fight on the line.
A Note on the Rugged Life: This is a purely self-contained site. You’ll need to bring your own toilet, water, and power. We love this land and want to keep it wild, so we ask all our guests to leave no trace—pack it in, pack it out!

Calderwood, NSW · 12 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
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 2025, many of the trails on the property have been degraded by the rains and are now challenging for 2WD cars. If you're towing or it's wet we recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles.
Since this is coastal rainforest and it has been very wet, expect leeches anywhere it is damp. These are easily kept at bay with deet and or trousers tucked into socks.
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.

Silent Grove, NSW · 19 sites · Tents, RVs
Binghi Station
Located approximately 4.5hours from Brisbane, Queensland, or 1.5 hour drive west of Tenterfield, New South Wales. Binghi Station, once a large sheep station, was a thriving tin and gem mine from the late 1800 to mid 1900.
Set on 4,000 acres of natural granite rock country and untouched overgrowth of lush tea tree bushlands, the sheer beauty of the land will, without a doubt, leave you breathless of its raw natural beauty.
Binghi Station surrendered to the ravaging bush fires of 2019, however, after this devastation came some much needed rainfall which brought hope; the creation of new life in the form of rich, vibrant green country not seen since the 1980’s.
You can explore endlessly on this raw outback property. Discover secret hideouts, come and enjoy a swim under our flowing waterfall (for those brave enough to during the winter months!) and simply relax and soak in pure wildlife beneath a million stars in the night sky.
Binghi Station is designed for the 4x4 enthusiasts. In other words we strongly recommend access by 4WD only as the entry 6klm driveway is very rugged and bumpy in most places due to heavy rain fall past 12 months. Please ask for more details if necessary should you have any concerns based on your equipment. Its an ongoing maintenance. Its the 4x4 adventure. We would rather talk it down than up:-)
Currently we do not recommend SUV AWD type cars due to there lower profile and vulnerability to bumps and ruts. It is doable many do it all however about driver confidence and add another upto 2hours to trip :-) We recommend parking up the top driveway and having a preplanned lift down.
BE WARNED The driveway and some tracks are rough suited for 4x4 adventure enthusiasts that like to use there pride and joy offroad gear for what its intended.
ps One thing we can say you will never get bogged on our driveway no matter the rain fall as its very compacted despite its authentic rough character.
The Secret Gorge site is suited to tents, camper trailers and smaller length caravans. All our other site locations are suited to off-road 4WD caravans and camper trailers.
Binghi Station - an extraordinary place to make some truly wonderful family memories. :-)

Willsons Downfall, NSW · 34 sites · Tents, RVs
Space, scenic views, a series of mountain bike tracks to test your skills, abundant wildlife, peace and quiet.
These best describe this 754 hectare (1864 acres) property.
Stonepine Ridge is 'remote' - your camp sites are away from any dwellings - but you are still close enough to country towns across borders.
There is plenty of space for social distancing onsite. Most camp sites are 50 or more metres apart. Sites are not assigned. The site number on your confirmation is just for our booking records. Please CHOOSE ANY AREA within the marked camping zone.
The terrain is mostly treed with some cleared, pastured country. There is an upgraded 12km mountain bike/walking track that allows you to take a cool walk or ride in the forest. Follow the pink ribbon trail!
On the border with the Queensland town of Stanthorpe, Stonepine Ridge is close to the historic areas of Willsons Downfall and Amosfield in New South Wales. Home to many rivers that traverse the property from top to bottom, the Boonoo Boonoo and Bookookookarara rivers and Undercliffe and Boonoo Boono Falls are close by and are popular sites to spend a few hours walking/hiking and immersing yourself in the ambient countryside.
The Boonoo Boonoo and Bald rock National Parks are also within this area. The beautiful New England town of Tenterfield is about 20 minutes drive from the falls and offers visitors many shopping and restaurant options. Be sure to stop en route to visit the World War 2 tank traps - (Australia's Maginot Line) and Thunderbolt's hideout. A short drive across the border into Queensland will give you access to the Girraween National Park and a host of wineries, coffee shops, restaurants and pubs.
This camping property is large and you will find no better place that allows for gentle as well as more advanced walking, hiking and mountain biking. Look for the pink ribbons that mark the trail. The altitude on the property varies from 900m at the top down to 50m to the bottom. The temperature is variable with mostly cool nights, which makes for restful sleep and a nice fire to add to the ambience.

Thankyou for considering Dungarubba Fields.
We offer you a well located and secure camp-site to explore the North Coast or for that overnight stay while you are travelling to your destination and need a safe place to camp.
Our four campsites are spacious and are freshly mown flat grassed sites. Each campsite has 1 or 2 stone circles for campfires, with free kindling and free firewood supplied to all campsites. Whether you are a single traveller, a couple, family or group booking we have the campsite for you. We are family friendly and dog friendly.
Dungarubba Fields is a private, rural setting on six acres on Bundjalung country. Four of our camp sites are situated across a small bridge in the back paddock, and one camp site is situated just before the bridge for those self driving campervans with a wider wheel-base.
The paddock was once cleared and in recent years we have planted and cared for over 100 new Koala and rainforest trees.
After the Northern Rivers floods of 2022 we are now continuing the bush regeneration beside the Dungarubba wetland which borders our property.
Our camp-sites offer shade, space, wildlife and birdlife. Campfires are allowed 12 months a year depending on fire ratings and local conditions except on days of Total Fire Ban and the preceding evening going into a Total Fire Ban.
We supply the free firewood to each campsite as we understand how important the campfire is to the camping experience.
Outside the fire season we can supply a readymade Bonfire at an additional cost to your booking.
Hipcampers can access fresh drinking water (rainwater) from our rainwater tanks, with an accessible tap near our home.
Hipcampers have access to a downstairs flushing toilet at the house.
The house on the property was originally built in 1903 as the Catholic Church of the nearby locality Riley's Hill.
In the 1940’s it was moved to the current site after low attendance by parishioners who didn’t want to have to row across the Richmond River and get their feet wet to attend Mass. The church sold the building in the 1980’s and it was raised off the ground with two new wings attached on either side to become a private residence.
The sugar cane and soybeans, however more surrounding land is being planted to Macadamia nuts which will change the look of the landscape in future.
During May to November of an evening, you can look out for the occasional cane fire which is a historic part of the harvesting of sugar.
The Richmond River and boat ramp is a short 2 minutes drive for both fishing and water skiing.
The Broadwater National Park with sand-dunes and a fishing beach is only a 10 minute drive away. The Pacific Highway is 7 minutes drive away. The beautiful coastal village of Evans Head with shops, a medical clinic and a patrolled beach is just a 15 minutes drive.
The nearest townships are Broadwater (2 fuel stations and a pub under new management), Coraki (junction of 2 rivers), Woodburn (pub with a bistro and a laundrette) and Evans Head (a township with most services).
We are a 45 minutes drive to Byron Bay and 25 minutes to the coastal city of Ballina up the Pacific Highway or 25 minutes drive inland to the city of Lismore.
We welcome friendly dogs and there is plenty of space for them to run around and chase balls or other dogs.
Our dog Stella is a 4 year old Blue Heeler, who greets people from the balcony barking as you drive in. Don’t let the barking fool you as she loves visitors and their dogs.
We expect owners to be responsible for their dogs and in particularly when there are Koalas close by.
We ask dogs not to roam at night as Koalas are nocturnal (and so are other critters) and night-time is when they choose their food tree for the next day and roam around. We are in Core Koala Habitat and love our koalas, we hope you do too.
We look forward to hosting you and in creating a sensational camping experience for you.

Welcome to Undercliff Farm
Step back to a time when life moved slower and the land spoke louder than the world. Undercliff Farm isn't a modern park or a luxury retreat; it’s a private sanctuary where the quiet rustle of the leaves is the only soundtrack you’ll need. We believe in the honest beauty of simplicity—where a starry sky is better than any screen and a shared campfire means more than convenience.
Trackside: A Home for Riders
For those who find peace in the hum of an engine, our 325-acre backyard awaits. The Trackside sites, nestled under plane trees, offer a simple place to rest your head after a day’s adventure.
* By Arrangement: We prefer groups and keep things orderly to protect the peace.
* The Essentials: While Trackside is unpowered (generators allowed).
Respecting the Sanctuary
We are merely caretakers of this soil. We ask that you walk softly, leaving only footprints so the wildlife and future generations can enjoy this harmony. To keep our trees healthy and our ecosystem safe, please do not bring outside wood onto the farm.
A Warm Welcome
Good dogs are welcome, and good manners are expected. We invite you to breathe deep, respect your neighbour, and find your own quiet corner of renewal.
Creatures of comfort
• We offer 6 powered sites only.
• Amenities are for your convenience.
• Clean up after yourself and your children.

And for the ultimate relaxation, our rejuvenating wood-fired cedar sauna is available upon request for an additional fee. Just a heads-up, you'll need to supply your own firewood for it.

Elands, NSW · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
We are based in the mountains North West of Taree in NSW.
Some may decide to visit because of the Famous Ellenborough Falls being on our door step. While others are seeking space, nature, a river side camping spot, a mountain bike focused holiday with the fam, or a cheap group stay right on the river. And others just simply LOVE this area and come back each year, and bring their dog!
Guudji Yiigu Nyiirunang - Birpi for Welcome Everyone!
while ...
Teretulemast is an Estonian name, it means WELCOME.
THE HISTORY OF OUR PLACE as we know it:
The Biripi people were the original and will always be the landowners of this area. They spent their summers on the mountain, while their winters were beside the coast. We are told, this area was once a women's only area, where they would bath and give birth. We respect those past and present who took care of this land and lived amongst it. This is Biripi country. Sometime after this, some people took over the land, and then offered it to others. Then cut trees down to build with, and put cows on it for over 80 years.. then we were offered it! And here we are today....
US: We LOVE hosting people, as we literally LOVE sharing this place with others. It’s part of who we are, but also a huge part of our bigger picture, in getting people re connected with Nature, so much so, that they want to protect it. Plus it’s so damn pretty here, all year around!
You Camp/Hipcamp has been a driving force as to why we have had so many guests find us, and ultimately stay with us (along with some help from our insta #teretulemastelands blogs & workaway/helpx). But if you are wondering why people would visit, I'll do my best to summarise:
• 400 metre walk from our RIVER flat to the famous Ellenborough Falls (famous for being the longest consistent drop in the southern hemisphere - hows that for on the map?)
• All sites have access to the river with a short walk, or a tiny walk. Most are sitting on the famous Ellenborough River.
• The Penthouse spot of sites is our River Flat. With it's hot shower, 2 composting toilets (still fully off grid), outdoor bbq/kitchen, gas & combustion stove & bar in shed (with solar lighting & fridge). PLUS A MTB PUMP TRACK! ALL PART of what you get when you book it!
• The Ellenborough river is gorgeous & fresh, so paddling, floating, swimming, drinking and generally lounging around in it, is welcomed! And the locals often hang out together at the falls (where there are even deeper water holes) and the local made famous The Rapids (8 min drive away). *we will show you once you get here! bYO drinks and floaties!
• ALL sites can accommodate reasonably large groups, SERENITY and RIVER FLAT can cater to around 100 OR more if you wanted them to. 2 composting toilets on these sites. (so toilets will be the main limiting factor for a super large group).
• We book out each site ‘exclusively’, so only you, your mates and family will be sleeping next to each other. Which is why we have a min rate, versus a per person rate. And why most sites include from 8 people up to 15 people within their min rate. Pretty awesome deal when you divide by that!
• Many sites are 4x4 caravan friendly (need good approach and departure angles), and yes, you don’t need to reverse them in, you drive them through making them easy to stop, enjoy your space and get out again!
• Local sites are a plenty, whether that is go for a walk to see the falls, OR it’s a rainy day and you take a 45 min trek deeper into the Gondwana belt, where the big trees live, the turquoise water begins, and the Koalas, and Greater Gliders still live (so long as we can keep those pesky loggers away).
• Most of our sites have had their roads upgraded, but some like Between the Trees can be a little more ‘4x4’ only. So always ask us if unsure.
• YES we allow you to bring your furry friends! 😊. (aka dog friendly stay)
• YES we are perfect for the newbie Mountain Biker or those who like a speedy downhill (blue rated), as we also have a Flow Trail AND a pump track available (great for groms and codjers). NOTE: the pump track is only for those who book the River flat at this stage. Unless you're good at making friends with those staying there, bring a beer maybe.. and you can ask them if you can ride it?
• Fire pits on most sites
• FARM mornings are FREE – just ask us when you arrive! 😊. (cows, sometimes we are milking, goats, baby animals, chickens, a mini mule (Olaf), pigs & we have 4 can be noisy dogs upon arrival). Love some kids to help or just to pat a baby goat!
• Need fire wood, or eggs, we sell so just ask. 😊.
• Don’t have camping gear, well lucky you! We hire it already setup, so all you have to do is turn up and move in! Ask us for more information if this interests you. We want everyone to experience nature, and for most sites, you will go to sleep with the noise of the river passing you... most serene way to fall asleep EVA.
If you want to know more, go and click on the different sites, and enjoy the many photos! 😊. Looking forward to hearing from you, or check us out on #teretulemastelands

A camp ground right next to the creek, surrounded by the most beautiful trees, a sauna with spa with a walk to a waterfall 90min there and back. Lars and his team are the friendliest most accommodating people you could ever meet. What more could you want from a camp ground? It was the perfect place for my friend's bridal blessing and we are all already talking about a redo.

Overnight stay. Clean amenities with hot showers and flushing toilets (on a septic). There are two undercover areas. One has a sink for washing up and kettle. But no gas BBQ but fire pits are available. Half the campground was closed for camping but you could walk through it for the creek walk

We happened to book over a weekend with thunderstorms… but honestly, we still loved it. You can hear the waterfall from the campsite, which was such a nice touch, and the shower was hot (huge win in the rain).
The hosts were lovely, really kind and welcoming… and you can tell they’re genuinely passionate about the property and put a lot of care into maintaining it.
Even with all the rain, our 2WD SUV handled the way in and out just fine.
We’d definitely come back (maybe next time with sunshine!).
Thank you 🙏🏼

Great base to explore everything and anything the Dungog area has to offer! Incredible views over every valley from a vast array of lookout points. The friendliest and most hospitable hosts who care about this land, everyone gets to the opportunity to experience it.
We loved every moment and can't wait to go back.

What a site! Spectacular views for sunrise, perfectly level caravan sites and loads of open space for the kids to ride, run and play.
We had a large group so booked both sites at the top here. We loved the little bushwalks on the property - the sunset viewing spot was incredible.
Nicholas and Jane were lovely camp hosts who made sure we were taken care of it.
The perfect place to base yourselves for exploring the local area. We someone squeezed in mtn biking at The Common, a hike down the Rocky Crossing track, swims in the Williams River, bushwalks on the property, pizza nights, fire cooked meals for breakfast and dinner, drinks at the Tin Shed and pastries from the bakery.
We cannot wait to come back!

We loved our one night stay here! The campsite is surrounded by beautiful scenery and feels really spacious and private from other campers. The tractor ride to see and feed the animals was a highlight, the kids loved it and the adults did too. The walk to the waterfall was also lovely and the amenities were clean and well maintained. Would definitely come back again!
