Welcome to Two Rivers ~ Where two waterways meet and the story of our farm begins.
Currently at Two Rivers Farm, we only welcome self-sufficient, off-grid campers with maximum of 6 vans and 20 people though this will change as we continue to build and evolve the property. For now, you can choose between three distinctly beautiful spots each with its own perks and shared access to all the farm’s magic.
Camp at Ringer’s Rest:
Once the dairy farmer’s quarters, this rustic shed is now a bush-pub style gathering place. Settle by the fire, share stories and music, and raise a glass to farm camaraderie while overlooking the paddocks. Camp nearby and make this communal space your cosy hub.
Camp at Riverside Hilltop:
For sweeping views, set up at the Hilltop overlooking the river. Launch your fishing rods, canoes, SUPs or even a jet ski (no jetty, so launch from the riverbank). Watch swans glide, birds greet the dawn, and deer pass by as the river becomes your playground.
Your Hosts:
Hayden and Ash live on-site and will guide you to your spot whether riverside or hilltop. They’ll give you the farm rundown, share local tips, and help you feel right at home.
The Area:
Two Rivers is tucked away in Coolongolook on the Mid North Coast, with waterways flowing right out to Forster—just a 10-minute boat ride away. Nearby Nabiac offers the friendly Nabiac Hotel for a hearty meal or drink, plus The Artisan Farmer, a farm-to-table café, bakery, deli, and butcher showcasing local produce.
What to Bring:
We welcome self-sufficient campers only, so pack your swag, tent, campervan, or RV. At present there are no amenities, but exciting plans are underway for a camp kitchen and more facilities as the farm grows.

Welcome to Two Rivers ~ Where two waterways meet and the story of our farm begins.
Currently at Two Rivers Farm, we only welcome self-sufficient, off-grid campers with maximum of 6 vans and 20 people though this will change as we continue to build and evolve the property. For now, you can choose between three distinctly beautiful spots each with its own perks and shared access to all the farm’s magic.
Camp at Ringer’s Rest:
Once the dairy farmer’s quarters, this rustic shed is now a bush-pub style gathering place. Settle by the fire, share stories and music, and raise a glass to farm camaraderie while overlooking the paddocks. Camp nearby and make this communal space your cosy hub.
Camp at Riverside Hilltop:
For sweeping views, set up at the Hilltop overlooking the river. Launch your fishing rods, canoes, SUPs or even a jet ski (no jetty, so launch from the riverbank). Watch swans glide, birds greet the dawn, and deer pass by as the river becomes your playground.
Your Hosts:
Hayden and Ash live on-site and will guide you to your spot whether riverside or hilltop. They’ll give you the farm rundown, share local tips, and help you feel right at home.
The Area:
Two Rivers is tucked away in Coolongolook on the Mid North Coast, with waterways flowing right out to Forster—just a 10-minute boat ride away. Nearby Nabiac offers the friendly Nabiac Hotel for a hearty meal or drink, plus The Artisan Farmer, a farm-to-table café, bakery, deli, and butcher showcasing local produce.
What to Bring:
We welcome self-sufficient campers only, so pack your swag, tent, campervan, or RV. At present there are no amenities, but exciting plans are underway for a camp kitchen and more facilities as the farm grows.

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful campsite.
We spent the weekend relaxing right on the riverbank and it was exactly what we needed. The highlight was seeing multiple pods of dolphins cruising past — unreal experience you don’t get everywhere.
The spot is quiet, spacious and perfect for switching off.
Our dogs had the best time swimming and running along the river while we kicked back and enjoyed the surroundings.
If you’re after a calm, relaxing riverside escape away from crowds, this place is perfect.

I had the most amazing stay at Koppin Valley Farm.
From the moment I arrived, it felt like a proper little escape — peaceful and beautiful.
The setting is stunning, sitting by the creek with a beer in hand looking up at the surrounding escarpments each in turn being washed in gold by the setting sun.
The host, Danielle, is incredibly welcoming, and she strikes the perfect balance between being friendly and giving you space to truly relax.
The farm itself is gorgeous and looks very well cared for — a real credit to
Danielle and her family.
If you’re after a place to slow down, reconnect with nature and actually unwind, Koppin Valley Farm is something special. I left feeling refreshed and already thinking about when I can come back. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great camp site and a great host.
We originally booked 2 nights but then extended to stay for 6
Fabulous grass area very well maintained and the perfect firepit with wood supplied.
Really enjoyed this spot..short walk to the beautiful river with steep access and a great swimming spot just down the road with easy access for all.
Great property really well maintained and one of the most friendly and helpful hosts we have met.
We will be back..thankyou Tom your a legend.

Highly recommend this camp site. Such a clean and well looked after place. So many different animals to see. The hosts are lovely and it’s been far the best place I’ve ever stayed on Hipcamp.

We can 100% say this is a truly beautiful place to camp, waist deep water in some spots, perfect for younger children to swim in. Very peaceful, and Louise the host meet us at the entry point and took us down to camping area. We will definitely return.

Richard and Roslyn’s Riverside Farm Escape is one of our favourite Hipcamps.
The sites are clearly marked, really well maintained, and the grass was mint. There’s heaps for the kids to do — a small soccer pitch, canoeing on the river and the lily dam, plus clean toilets and showers.
Fishing down on the river was lively as well. If you’re travelling with kids, they’ll be well and truly entertained.
This will definitely be our go-to stop when heading past.
