66km from Crescent Head · 10 sites · Tents, RVs, LodgingWake up in paradise at The Top Place, a peaceful farm camping property perched high above the valley at Johns River on the Mid North Coast of NSW.
With spectacular views across rolling green hills, approximately 800 metres of Stewarts River frontage, and the convenience of being just 2 minutes from the Pacific Highway, we're an ideal base for travellers wanting to slow down, explore the coast or simply enjoy a few quiet days in nature.
The property combines beautiful country, river and hinterland scenery. Watch the sun rise over the valley, enjoy the abundant birdlife during the day, then settle in and watch the sun set across the hills.
River, views and space
The property has approximately 800 metres of access along Stewarts River, providing opportunities to explore the river, enjoy the natural surroundings and watch the wildlife.
Camping is located in the designated camping areas on the property rather than along the riverbank, allowing the river frontage to remain a peaceful natural part of the property.
Stewarts River begins on the northern slopes of Big Nellie in Coorabakh National Park before winding its way through the countryside towards the Camden Haven River.
A place to relax and play
There's more to The Top Place than simply finding somewhere to pitch your tent.
Our shaded verandah and common room provide a comfortable place to relax, meet other campers or while away a few hours. The common room has a piano, cards and chess, while outside there's an oversized outdoor chess set and croquet for those who enjoy a little friendly competition.
Or simply grab a seat on the verandah, enjoy the breeze and take in the views.
