The Ranch on Clarence – Horse Lovers' Camp & Riverside Escape
Escape to a truly unique Australian ranch experience on the banks of the magnificent Clarence River.
Nestled on 113 acres with over 1.3 kilometres of private Clarence River frontage, The Ranch on Clarence is home to more than 35 beautiful horses, including Andalusians, Warlanders, Friesians, Stock Horses and other much-loved breeds, all living as naturally as possible across the property.
Unlike traditional campgrounds, we've intentionally designed each campsite to feel exclusive, private and immersed in nature. Rather than camping alongside dozens of other people, every campsite has been carefully positioned to provide its own sense of space, privacy and tranquillity. We want every guest to feel as though they've discovered their own secluded corner of the Australian bush.
Whether you're perched high above the river on a spectacular cliff, camped beside peaceful rapids, tucked beneath towering trees or overlooking wide sandy beaches, each campsite offers its own unique outlook and connection with nature.
Wake to birdsong, watch horses grazing nearby, enjoy campfires beneath star-filled skies and reconnect with a slower pace of life.
Spend your days swimming in crystal-clear freshwater, kayaking, fishing, exploring walking and mountain biking trails, spotting platypus, or simply relaxing beside one of Australia's most beautiful rivers.
For horse lovers, we offer unforgettable equine experiences including:
The Ranch Experience
1 Hour River Ride
2 Hour River Ride with Bareback River Swim (conditions permitting)
Full-Day Wilderness Trek
Troopy Horse Safari, where you'll help call in the herd and experience the excitement of moving with horses as they gallop across the landscape.
Our property offers both 2WD and 4WD accessible campsites, a flush toilet near the Homestead and plenty of room to spread out and unwind. If you're looking for something truly special, don't miss Swan Lake, complete with its own fire-heated outdoor bath beneath the stars.
The Ranch on Clarence is the sister property to The Ranch Byron Bay, continuing our passion for sharing exceptional horse experiences and authentic Australian ranch life.
Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation or simply a place to reconnect with nature, we look forward to welcoming you.
Guest Information
Welcome to The Ranch on Clarence. This is our family home, a working Australian ranch and the home of our much-loved horses and farm animals.
One of the most special parts of staying here is sharing the landscape with our free-roaming horses and experiencing authentic ranch life. We kindly ask that all guests help us create a peaceful, respectful and safe environment for everyone.
During Your Stay
Please arrive during your nominated check-in time. If you expect to arrive late, we'd appreciate a quick message.
Please respect the privacy of other campers by keeping noise to a minimum, particularly during the early morning and evening.
Leave your campsite clean and tidy, taking all rubbish with you or placing it in the designated bins.
Campfires are permitted only in designated fire pits and only when local fire restrictions allow. Never leave a fire unattended.
Our Horses & Animals
Our horses are treasured members of our ranch family.
Please help us care for them by following these simple guidelines:
DO NOT feed the horses or any other animals. Our horses are on carefully managed diets and unsuitable food can make them seriously unwell.
For your safety, never feed horses while they are together as a herd. Even the quietest horses can become excited around food and may crowd people or compete with one another, creating a potentially dangerous situation.
If you would like to meet or interact with the horses, please speak with us first. We are always happy to introduce you when it is safe and appropriate.
Allow our horses to approach you in their own time and always respect their personal space.
Please do not run, scream, chase, throw objects at or deliberately startle any horses or other animals.
Leave gates exactly as you found them and do not enter paddocks or restricted areas unless invited by a member of The Ranch team.
Please respect our fences, gardens, equipment, wildlife and fellow guests.
Children
Children are very welcome at The Ranch and remain the responsibility of their parent or legal guardian at all times.
Please ensure children are supervised throughout their stay and do not:
Run or play around horses or livestock.
Chase, frighten or attempt to ride any animals.
Climb fences or enter paddocks without permission.
Open gates.
Feed any animals.
Photography
From time to time, photographs or videos may be taken around the property for promotional purposes.
If you would prefer not to appear in photographs or videos, simply let us know and we will happily respect your wishes.
Thank You
Thank you for choosing to stay at The Ranch on Clarence and for helping us care for this beautiful property, our horses and all the animals that call it home.
We hope your stay is peaceful, memorable and leaves you feeling refreshed, inspired and connected to nature.

Weekend Trip to Sandy Daze
The host Megan is lovely! When I arrived in the rain it was fantastic that I was able to park the car right outside of the cabin. The shower and toilet facilities are absolutely gorgeous and very much up-to-date. The cleanliness level was something I have never experienced at a hip camp before I highly recommend this spot as a layover or even a weekend stay. I will definitely be coming back.

I loved staying in the bunkhouse at The Ranch on Clarence. It's an amazing property with plenty of animals, breathtaking views, and plenty of places to walk on the property.
