At Grassyenda, you'll find flat grass camping a stones throw from great beaches, the river, and townships. It's a rural setting that makes a great basecamp from which to explore the abundance of activities available nearby.
Macleay River is just a 3 minute drive from camp and Grassy Head Beach is a five minutes, so you are never far from fishing, surfing and swimming! Closer to home, you're also welcome to paddle the kayak in the property's dam.
The Yarrabinni National Park is closeby, and a great option for hiking, bushwalking, scenic lookouts, and freshwater creeks. The nearest village, Stuarts Point, is just 3 minutes down the road, with larger towns and shopping 20 to 30 minutes' drive away.
The property is just 14km off the M1, with good access and plenty of open space. We limit the number of bookings we take to ensure you can find a private, spacious site to yourselves.
Kid friendly.

Christie’s camp is immaculate with all of the facilities you would ever need it is truly a glamping experience. This camp is ideal for first time campers or campers with the bare minimum as she has it all.
The location is ideal for exploring the mid north coast and is close to great cafes pubs beaches etc.

Where to begin - the facilities are awesome they feel almost brand new. The site is close enough to Port Macquarie it makes nipping in and out easy whilst still having the feeling of being off the grid. We were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves but even if the other site had been booked it still would have been nice. Chrissie is a massive legend and we will definitely be back. And last but not least Chrissie is lucky she wasn’t missing a dog when we left because we fell completely in love with Mr Ray (and the others) another gorgeous Kelpie just like ours. Honestly we had the best time . Thank you so so much x

We loved our stay here! Amazing peaceful camping. Surrounded by amazing bush. The bird life in the morning is some of the best we've ever heard. We had Kingfisher birds flying down to our camp. Magic. The hosts were sensational, very welcoming. We can't wait to come back again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Akaroa campsite on Phoranna Farm. Andrew was a fantastic host and a great communicator from start to finish, which made everything easy and stress free.
The campsite itself is incredibly private and very spacious, especially impressive for a single site. It truly feels like you have your own little piece of the countryside, with plenty of room to relax and unwind. We only stayed for one night, but we really enjoyed our time there and wished we could have stayed longer. The $20 load of firewood was excellent value and more than enough for a cozy fire in the evening, with plenty left over for the next morning. It really added to the experience. The pit toilet was also a pleasant surprise. It was very clean and did not smell at all, which is not always the case with outdoor facilities. Overall, this is a peaceful and well maintained campsite with thoughtful touches and a great host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet and private camping experience at the Akaroa site.

Amazing place, amazing views, as many avos as we can eat for breakfast (depending on season of course) same for oranges and macadamia nuts.
Also really nice to have hot clean showers after a beach visit not too far away. And the beaches in the area are fantastic too.
Thanks Drew and Robyn for having our small family.
