Weekend Trip to Fame Mountain Camp - pets welcome

This place is a hidden gem. A small, intimate, quiet campsite that feels off grid but has bathrooms/showers and enough firewood to keep you going! The view of the valley is simply spectacular. All sites are unpowered but they have filtered tank water. We chose to camp on a weekend where rain was possible. The land is a mountain but has been excavated with level steps for camping. That said, continuous rain obviously is going to create a very muddy environment. John and Mei have done what they can to create drainage. They are a very hospitable couple. The bathrooms are kept clean and tiny. This campsite requires a 4WD, especially when it’s wet.

1 night at Bonneydoon

Last minute booking for a variety of reasons and I’m so glad we stayed at Boneydoon. It was exactly what these 2 “city slickers” needed. We had the whole place to ourselves apart for some wallabies and kookaburras. Great communication with Nick and perfect facilities (for off grid). Great phone reception so we could check in with our dog sitter.

2 nights at The Riverside Farm Escape Minimbah

First of all I would appreciate the host Richard. Such a humble and helpful guy. He helped us happily. And the camping site was breathtaking. 100% recommended 🙌

2 nights at The Riverside Farm Escape Minimbah

The sites are well laid out and spacious. Especially love the river views.

12 nights at Doraville Farm Campsite

Excellent hosts, Wayne and his brother were very welcoming and friendly and would come over for a chat and a check in most days, told us what to do in the area and what local events were on. Good sight with a hot shower, toilets and a washing machine. Their marmalade is also a must try.

1 night at Doraville Farm Campsite

Wayne was accomodating and very helpful. Gave me a few tips on things to see and places to stay further along my travels. Would stay again. Cheers!

1 night at Ingenia Holidays One Mile Beach

Absolutely gorgeous beaches. Very clean washrooms. It would be preferable if either reception was open later or there was a way to communicate without phone calls for people who are without a cell phone.

1 night at The Riverside Farm Escape Minimbah

Richard was very helpful as it was pouring with rain and he let us stay on the road. The property is just beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Willowbank

We had a great time here. The owners were very helpful and friendly . The spot by the river was perfect — our boys had a great time exploring. We had a tent and the area was nice and flat. We will be back in the future.

Weekend Trip to The Branch River Retreat

Great views from the balcony over the dam, a beautiful quiet spot.

4 nights at Willowbank

Willowbank in the little town of Stroud Road, wow what a gem. We glamped with our 22 foot van at the Long Flat site, which sits right beside the beautiful Karuah River. The huge private site with freshly mowed green grass on the perfectly level site made setting up a breeze, and the beautiful Karuah river flowing down from the Barrington Tops was just stunning, peaceful, calming, and truly majestic. Beautiful trees line the river, providing lovely shade and attracting a variety of birds that made every morning feel like a nature show. Even though the weather wasn't perfect, it didn't dampen our experience one bit. Jo and Ian, the wonderful hosts, went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Their kindness and care for the place and their guests really shines through. It’s just a short 10–15 minute drive into Stroud and about 30 minutes to Gloucester, but honestly, once you’re at Willowbank, you won’t want to leave we certainly didn’t. Can’t recommend this spot enough. Thank you so much Jo & Ian we can’t wait to visit again soon.

Denise was an amazing host. 100% recommend visiting her beautiful campsite

3 nights at Fernbrook

We had a great time camping on Brett’s land! Despite the heavy rain and muddy conditions, we still really enjoyed ourselves. We chose a spot closer to the road which made things a bit easier. The basic amenities were definitely appreciated, and Brett was super friendly with great communication throughout. The highlight was star gazing on a clear night by the fire - absolutely amazing! Thanks again!

3 nights at Fernbrook

Beautiful spot amongst the hills, short drive from Stroud, owner was lovely and very helpful. Highly recommend

Weekend Trip to Willowbank

My wife, son and dog loved camping at Willowbank! Joanne and her husband are great hosts. The site was excellent with easy access to the river, which was flowing and great for a very refreshing dip. We're hoping to return when the weather clears up!

5 nights at Fernbrook

Great place to camp and look at the stars. Brett is a great host, we will go back and drag the family with us.

Weekend Trip to Manning River Waterfront Camping

Great communication and a lovely spot. Would come back for sure

Directions to find us: From the South -off the Pacific highway at Taree through Wingham, Follow the Brown tourist signs to Ellenborough Falls. We are approx. 5 kms from the falls turnoff. From the north- Off the Pacific Highway: Again the brown tourist signs will get you to Ellenborough Falls Port Macquarie end through Comboyne-either way requires access over narrow, dirt roads.

After the 2nd bridge, the grounds are on your right at the top of the small hill. 542 Glenwarrin Road Elands. Larger rigs are not advised.

Good mobile signal for Telstra and Optus networks. Two Communal Fridges and a cold communal spa. There is lots of space for campers so you will have privacy whilst you enjoy your camping adventure. We are located on a dead end road, so very rare to have any traffic after 8pm. Good fishing. Pretty much everywhere you can wet a line. Prawns are best bait. If your dog is on the government list of restricted breeds or on the dangerous dog list please leave at home We have a gentle, well trained old German Shepherd who adores kids but after being bitten by another dog, now prefers to stay inside the house and not visit the camp sites. PLEASE NOTE: 1) We ONLY ALLOW ONE camper trailer or ONE caravan per site. No limit on number of tents. 2) IF You Have more than 3 vehicles/site please contact host before booking. 3) Depending on the weather on the day, we may have to limit the number of vehicles that can be parked adjacent to your campsite. 4) NO late night check in . If you are a group larger than two people the check in time is between midday and sunset. Do not arrive after sunset. The reason being if you are a large group turning up late, you will ruin the camping experience of other campers who got there earlier to watch the sunset and just chill. Furthermore, the sunsets are one of the reasons people come here. Every single day it is totally different. If you arrive late you have missed it.... 5) As the business name suggests (mountain) our property is on a slope. We do have several flat areas for tents , hybrids, camper vans and small caravans. And we have 6 levelling blocks scattered across the sites. Dead flat is a concrete slab at any caravan park anywhere but here.
