Welcome to our 100-acre family farm nestled in the picturesque Eltham Valley, a place where history and nature intertwine. As fifth-generation farmers, we’ve embraced a new chapter, transitioning from dairy to beef farming while still cherishing our roots. Our property is bordered by 4 kilometers of the Wilson River, where gentle rapids create the perfect backdrop for kayaking, swimming, and bass fishing. Picture yourself camping under a blanket of stars, gathering around a cozy campfire, and listening to the soothing sounds of nature. Here, diverse wildlife thrives: from colourful birds to elusive platypus, and even the charming echidna. Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join your adventure, but do keep them supervised, as we share our land with working cattle. Take a stroll up the hill for a picnic, soaking in breathtaking views of the Eltham Valley, or let the wind guide a kite across the sky on breezy days. We believe in the importance of quality time, whether with family, friends, or simply enjoying your own company. That’s why we offer only one booked site for your exclusive use, with the option to reserve up to five campsites for small groups. Explore the local area with highlights like the historic Eltham Pub, just six minutes away, or venture to the serene beaches of Ballina and Lennox, 25-30 minute drive. For groceries, Bexhill is only eight minutes away, and Lismore offers a larger selection. Indulge in the fantastic local cuisine in Clunes, Bangalow, Ballina, Byron, and Lennox. And don’t forget to explore the Northern Rivers Rail Trail for an unforgettable biking experience! We invite you to create your own story here, where every moment spent is an adventure waiting to unfold.

Pitched camp right beside the creek which was deep enough to swim in. Great spot to take the heat off a hot day. Our host, Rebecca, dropped some firewood off in the late afternoon. We enjoyed our brief chat and got some good tips on where to eat (Eltham pub) which was spot on. You couldn’t ask for a more congenial, helpful host. We were surprised by the lack of mosquitoes (bonus). A great spot to tour the local hinterland of Lennox Head & Bryon. We would recommend to anyone who enjoys wild camping.

Absolutely loved our weekend stay at the River bend Retreat! Lots of space all to yourself beautiful swimming spot on the Wilsons River just metres away from camp! Own private toilet facilities on the site were very clean and pleasant! The sites big undercover shelter came in handy to keep out of the wet weather and was great as a communal area for the camp! We got the damper kit add on which was wonderfully put together with everything you needed and was delicious! 100% recommended this stay at River Bend Retreat and thank you Kate for having us you were such a delightful host we really enjoyed our stay!

Thankyou for considering Dungarubba Fields. We offer you a well located and secure camp-site to explore the North Coast or for that overnight stay while you are travelling to your destination and need a safe place to camp. Our four campsites are spacious and are freshly mown flat grassed sites. Each campsite has 1 or 2 stone circles for campfires, with free kindling and free firewood supplied to all campsites. Whether you are a single traveller, a couple, family or group booking we have the campsite for you. We are family friendly and dog friendly. Dungarubba Fields is a private, rural setting on six acres on Bundjalung country. Four of our camp sites are situated across a small bridge in the back paddock, and one camp site is situated just before the bridge for those self driving campervans with a wider wheel-base. The paddock was once cleared and in recent years we have planted and cared for over 100 new Koala and rainforest trees. After the Northern Rivers floods of 2022 we are now continuing the bush regeneration beside the Dungarubba wetland which borders our property. Our camp-sites offer shade, space, wildlife and birdlife. Campfires are allowed 12 months a year depending on fire ratings and local conditions except on days of Total Fire Ban and the preceding evening going into a Total Fire Ban. We supply the free firewood to each campsite as we understand how important the campfire is to the camping experience. Outside the fire season we can supply a readymade Bonfire at an additional cost to your booking. Hipcampers can access fresh drinking water (rainwater) from our rainwater tanks, with an accessible tap near our home. Hipcampers have access to a downstairs flushing toilet at the house. We offer a Portaloo for larger group bookings situated beside your camp site as an optional extra for an additional cost. The Portaloo needs to be booked when you make your booking. The house on the property was originally built in 1903 as the Catholic Church of the nearby locality Riley's Hill. In the 1940’s it was moved to the current site after low attendance by parishioners who didn’t want to have to row across the Richmond River and get their feet wet to attend Mass. The church sold the building in the 1980’s and it was raised off the ground with two new wings attached on either side to become a private residence. The sugar cane and soybeans, however more surrounding land is being planted to Macadamia nuts which will change the look of the landscape in future. During May to November of an evening, you can look out for the occasional cane fire which is a historic part of the harvesting of sugar. The Richmond River and boat ramp is a short 2 minutes drive for both fishing and water skiing. The Broadwater National Park with sand-dunes and a fishing beach is only a 10 minute drive away. The Pacific Highway is 7 minutes drive away. The beautiful coastal village of Evans Head with shops, a medical clinic and a patrolled beach is just a 15 minutes drive. The nearest townships are Broadwater (2 fuel stations and a pub under new management), Coraki (junction of 2 rivers), Woodburn (pub with a bistro and a laundrette) and Evans Head (a township with most services). We are a 45 minutes drive to Byron Bay and 25 minutes to the coastal city of Ballina up the Pacific Highway or 25 minutes drive inland to the city of Lismore. We welcome friendly dogs and there is plenty of space for them to run around and chase balls or other dogs. Our dog Stella is a 4 year old Blue Heeler, who greets people from the balcony barking as you drive in. Don’t let the barking fool you as she loves visitors and their dogs. We expect owners to be responsible for their dogs and in particularly when there are Koalas close by. We ask dogs not to roam at night as Koalas are nocturnal (and so are other critters) and night-time is when they choose their food tree for the next day and roam around. We are in Core Koala Habitat and love our koalas, we hope you do too. We look forward to hosting you and in creating a sensational camping experience for you. Lise and Pete Dungarubba Fields.

PLEASE NOTE: Our campsites will be closed for some maintenance and a bit of family time - from 20 December 2025 and re-opening 12 January 2026 . Sorry for any inconvenience – we really appreciate your understanding. We’ll be back soon and can’t wait to welcome you another time! Our 40 acre property is home to four quiet, secure, exclusive river front sites on the mighty Clarence River. Boating, fishing and crabbing literally at your doorstep. And it's just a 15 minute drive into the towns of Yamba and Maclean. To ensure all our guests have a comfortable and spacious experience, each campsite is designated for one camp set up only (eg one caravan or camper trailer or tent) This allows us to maintain a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere with plenty of space between sites. The campsites are situated right on the bank of the mighty Clarence River, perfectly suited for campers who enjoy the peace and quiet. Please note: Our sites are available for booking up to 3 months in advance. Our property is inhabited by a few cattle and kangaroos and on occasions a couple of visiting brolgas. The private boat ramp is accessible at the main house which is about 100 metres from your campsite. You are welcome to make use of our canoe or kayak which are kept up at the main house. Pets are welcome but must be kept under control. Campfires are allowed permitting there are no restrictions in place. Each campsite has it's own firepit surround in which to light your camp fire. Firewood is available for purchase. Campers must bring their own toilet and be fully self sufficient. Leave the site as you found it and take all waste with you on departure. The campsite is accessible by 2WD and can accommodate caravans, campervans and camper trailers. The sites are generally level and grassy.

This is a 45 acre farm located approx 50 km north of Coffs Harbour and 30km south of Grafton and is just 500 meters from the Pacific Highway at Halfway Creek. The property is easily accessed by 2WD and is suitable for caravans and small to medium motor homes. Take a right turn as soon as you drive through the cream concrete entrance gates and follow the road down to the large cream shed. Here you will find manicured park-like gardens with a large dam - big enough to kayak on! There are numerous shady trees along the dam edges and you can also relax on the pontoon which overlooks the water. **Please note that the dam area is not fenced and may not suit campers with children. Campers must ensure they supervise their children at all times. This farm operates a cut flower business with over 10,000 rose bushes and has recently diversified with a large number of Australian wildflowers. The business hours are typically 6am-4pm but once or twice a week the shed does need to be accessed earlier than this so please do not park on the gravel area in front of the double roller doors.

Welcome to Common Grounds, where nature feels like home. (previously 'Oceans Reach') Our conservation property is a registered Land for Wildlife sanctuary, and we’ve created a space where native animals and humans alike can feel safe, welcome, and at home. Whether you’re stopping overnight just off the highway or planning a longer escape, Common Grounds is an easy and grounded place to rest, reconnect, and explore. We’re centrally located to some of the best the Clarence Valley has to offer with uncrowded surf beaches, national parks, rivers, and historic towns, all within a short drive. Or a perfect spot over spot between Coffs Harbour and Byron Bay, just off the motorway. Nearby to explore: 🦘 Glenugie State Forest: Right next door! Great for hiking, mountain biking, 4WD trails, wildlife spotting, and peaceful bush walks. 🌊 Brooms Head: A stunning coastal village with tidal pools, a quiet beach, and scenic headland walks 🏖️ Yuraygir National Park: Sprawling coastal park with epic hikes, secluded beaches, and vibrant wildlife 🌿 Wooli & Minnie Water: Pristine beaches, estuary kayaking, snorkelling, and quiet village charm 🏞️ Clarence River towns: Explore Ulmarra, Maclean, or Grafton for riverfront cafes, historic pubs, and local arts. 🐦 Birdwatcher’s paradise: The whole area is alive with native birds and seasonal visitors (black cockatoos, friendly king parrots, kookaburras, and more). Bring binoculars! Wander our own native bushland, rich with flora and fauna, or just sit back and watch the wildlife come to you. We live on-site and are slowly restoring this special land, including the old Grafton Racecourse Beer Pavilion. The composting toilets and clever camp showers were thoughtfully built using recycled materials and offered for campers to use. At night, light a fire, enjoy a cold drink, and take in the stars. We’re easy-going and happy to give you your space. Camp fires must be contained Sept-April. Large fire pits provided and firewood for sale on site. The sites are listed for vehicles under 9m, but if your setup is larger, feel free to contact me and we can usually work something out ☺️ We’d love to welcome you to Common Grounds - a place to land, to breathe, and to feel a little more connected.

Welcome to our 100-acre family farm nestled in the picturesque Eltham Valley, a place where history and nature intertwine. As fifth-generation farmers, we’ve embraced a new chapter, transitioning from dairy to beef farming while still cherishing our roots. Our property is bordered by 4 kilometers of the Wilson River, where gentle rapids create the perfect backdrop for kayaking, swimming, and bass fishing. Picture yourself camping under a blanket of stars, gathering around a cozy campfire, and listening to the soothing sounds of nature. Here, diverse wildlife thrives: from colourful birds to elusive platypus, and even the charming echidna. Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join your adventure, but do keep them supervised, as we share our land with working cattle. Take a stroll up the hill for a picnic, soaking in breathtaking views of the Eltham Valley, or let the wind guide a kite across the sky on breezy days. We believe in the importance of quality time, whether with family, friends, or simply enjoying your own company. That’s why we offer only one booked site for your exclusive use, with the option to reserve up to five campsites for small groups. Explore the local area with highlights like the historic Eltham Pub, just six minutes away, or venture to the serene beaches of Ballina and Lennox, 25-30 minute drive. For groceries, Bexhill is only eight minutes away, and Lismore offers a larger selection. Indulge in the fantastic local cuisine in Clunes, Bangalow, Ballina, Byron, and Lennox. And don’t forget to explore the Northern Rivers Rail Trail for an unforgettable biking experience! We invite you to create your own story here, where every moment spent is an adventure waiting to unfold.
