We are 30 mins from Forster and Taree. The Nabiac Hotel is 10kms down the road and the village of Nabiac has all the essentials.

Our property is at the end of a 2km gravel driveway. You can camp right on the river's edge in privacy. The kids are welcome to help feed the animals.
The area is quite shady, and there is a decent down to the site on the river.
You will need to swing wide to get into the entrance of the driveway and Van's over 18ft and with low clearance aren't recommended, due to the slope down to the river and the turn around area.

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 Ridgeline Camping
Escape to 106 acres of elevated countryside with sweeping coastal and hinterland views. Just minutes off the Pacific Highway, Ridgeline is the perfect stopover without the detour — ideal for large caravans, motorhomes and touring setups, and equally suited to 4WD adventurers, rooftop campers and tents seeking space and privacy.

Ridgeline is a genuine working cattle farm offering rolling grazing country, pockets of native bushland and the relaxed rhythm of rural life.

Whether you prefer an open site or a more private pocket, there’s room to spread out and enjoy the property your way.

Feeling adventurous? Walk “Big Hill” for incredible 360° views at sunrise or sunset.

The land is about 650 metres. It is in a residential street (houses each side).
It is a gentle slope down from the street where you park to where the level camp site BUT I do not recommend driving down to the level camping area. Even in a 4 wheel drive cars have been stuck and if it's been wet or even if it's dry, you will be stuck and I have no way of helping you. It's about 20 steps from the street to the camping area. Easy walk.
If you have a car/truck with the camping arrangement on your roof, this site is not for you. Sorry.
Level area for camping is about 220m with water and power plus a 8m x 2.5m cabin for hanging out in the day, storage in wet weather. The cabin is about 25 steps further down from the camping. It is a gentle slope to get to. The outlook is lovely.
The land is just 500 steps from Smiths Lake. The photo of the lake is the spot. It doesn't look that good every afternoon. That was one of those super magic sunsets; but it's often amazing. Town water is on and power is also on. Toilets are a short 3 minutes drive to the Frothy Coffee lake side with BBQ and toilet amenities

We are just over an hour from Newcastle and Port Macquarie. Grab a kayak and enjoy being right on the river. Great fishing!! You will catch Bream, Flathead and Mud Crabs! You may also see the dolphins go past.
We are 30 mins from Forster and Taree. The Nabiac Hotel is 10kms down the road and the village of Nabiac has all the essentials.
We love our animals and along with our horses, we breed Therapy dogs. Your dogs are most welcome!
Our property is at the end of a 2km gravel driveway. You can camp right on the river's edge in privacy. The kids are welcome to help feed the animals.
The area is quite shady, and there is a decent down to the site on the river.
You will need to swing wide to get into the entrance of the driveway and Van's over 18ft and with low clearance aren't recommended, due to the slope down to the river and the turn around area.

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 Ridgeline Camping
Escape to 106 acres of elevated countryside with sweeping coastal and hinterland views. Just minutes off the Pacific Highway, Ridgeline is the perfect stopover without the detour — ideal for large caravans, motorhomes and touring setups, and equally suited to 4WD adventurers, rooftop campers and tents seeking space and privacy.
Wake to sunrises with kangaroos or cattle grazing nearby, and end your day with golden sunsets and star-filled skies.
Ridgeline is a genuine working cattle farm offering rolling grazing country, pockets of native bushland and the relaxed rhythm of rural life. Explore grassy hills and natural bush corridors home to native birds and wildlife. Whether you prefer an open site or a more private pocket, there’s room to spread out and enjoy the property your way.
You may notice livestock nearby and the occasional cow pat underfoot. During drier seasons, paddocks may not always be perfectly manicured — our cattle are our priority. What you’ll experience is authentic country Australia: space, simplicity and fresh air.
Feeling adventurous? Walk “Big Hill” for incredible 360° views at sunrise or sunset.

We ask you to please note:
** UNFORTUNATELY WE DO NOT TAKE ANY CARAVANS .. HYBRID CARAVANS .. MOTOR HOMES .. RV'S .. FIFTH WHEELER's .. BUSES INCLUDING MERCEDES SPRINTERS of any size .. mainly the footprint of these types of vehicles is far too great .. once again we're only a grassy paddock not a caravan park.

If your bus is longer than 4 meters in length, over 2 meters in height and/ or width with a tare weight of 3 tonne or over SORRY BUT IT IS A NO!!

If you have a Jayco of any description .. regardless of length / width OR what the "registration papers say" .. SORRY BUT IT IS STILL A NO!!
- If you have solar panels to charge you might have to chase the sun a little, as there are plenty of shaded areas which is perfect come summer.
We do not allow the use of "Slackline or Tightropes" strung between our trees, it causes them to be ringbarked after a prolonged use .. meaning they die in the long run .. rope clotheslines and hamocks perfectly ok on the palms, sheoaks and paperbarks!!
- Dogs are permitted here however they must be friendly off leash and must NOT chase my pets which include horses, goats , dogs and our pet chooks.

Please read the full description before you book. Ta.
The land is about 650 metres. It is in a residential street (houses each side).
It is a gentle slope down from the street where you park to where the level camp site BUT I do not recommend driving down to the level camping area. Even in a 4 wheel drive cars have been stuck and if it's been wet or even if it's dry, you will be stuck and I have no way of helping you. It's about 20 steps from the street to the camping area. Easy walk.
If you have a car/truck with the camping arrangement on your roof, this site is not for you. Sorry.
Level area for camping is about 220m with water and power plus a 8m x 2.5m cabin for hanging out in the day, storage in wet weather. The cabin is about 25 steps further down from the camping. It is a gentle slope to get to. The outlook is lovely.
The land is just 500 steps from Smiths Lake. The photo of the lake is the spot. It doesn't look that good every afternoon. That was one of those super magic sunsets; but it's often amazing. Town water is on and power is also on. Toilets are a short 3 minutes drive to the Frothy Coffee lake side with BBQ and toilet amenities

Very good directions to the property with photos showing landmarks. Reasonably flat grassy area next to the water with stunning outlook over the river. The property managers Hayden & Ash were extremely helpful. The only negative was the high cost of the campsite compared to other very similar Hipcamps I have stayed at, especially as a solo camper.

Great spot on the river. If your into boating and fishing this spot would be hard to beat.

✨️✨️SO RELAXING✨️✨️
So easy to find, level ground to park your van with wide open spaces where you can't even see the next camper, really gave you privacy and security. Bird life, sounds was terrific.
So close to Nabiac, a beautiful little town that caters for all your needs even a dump point, potable water and waste bins all in the one place at the park plus even a caravan parts and sales store with up to date goodies for the 'must have / need' or 'would like to have' purchases . A great pub, food was delicious, a Foodworks and a handful of cute smaller stores and cafes.
Forster / Tuncurry and their amazing crystal clear water and beaches just 35 minutes away with even more on offer to enjoy.
Paul is a great host, he welcomed us on arrival and let us be to do want we wanted, left us in peace but was available if we needed him. The pontoon and river was great.
Overall a nice, quiet, safe and peaceful place with so much SPACE to do as much or as little as you want. ✨️✨️

A beautiful quiet outlook over the river with outstanding access for fishing and swimming or to just laze some hours away watching the wildlife and mullet jump

We only stayed for 1 night. Beautiful location, very spacious camp sites. Easy access from the highway. The photos in the description of this location are a good indication of what is on offer. Richard was very friendly delivered us some firewood for the campfire. We will be returning again and I’d highly recommend this for a quiet peaceful getaway to anyone.

We absolutely loved staying at Elysha’s campsite. We had such a great time camping, enjoying a barbecue, and just unwinding. My dog loved it too! Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we highly recommend it.

Nice and quiet property, Richard was very easy going and planned out occupancy of sites well so all groups had space and serenity.
Clean and well kept sites. Cold shower was surprisingly refreshing and not as cold as we expected for an Autumn weekend.
