Great isolated, quiet property, literally 5 minutes off the pacific highway. Certainly beats roadside rest areas and busy caravan parks for overnight or extended stays.

We rate this hipcamp in the top 5 of all the hipcamps we have booked. Great location, flat area, plenty of room and space between sites, beautifully maintained, easy access, nice wide entrance for larger caravans, and great communication from host. Wish we could have stayed longer.

It was our second time at this place and once again this place is amazing. Just about 10 min drive to town, 8 minutes to coles and other shops. This place is very private, quiet and peaceful. We will definately come back again and again.

We loved our stay here. Was very peaceful spot, the dogs were lovely and we felt very private. It was only 20 minutes to Yamba, which was one of our favourite spots in Australia. A few mozzies at night time which meant we had to stay inside, but all in we had a great time.

Well maintained site, easy access and only a quick trip off the highway and close to the main road. Perfect for our two night stop to visit with friends. Ample room for to camps, we had three campers during our stay and there was still plenty space to maintain privacy.

What a fantastic area to camp. Pristine grassed area right near the water. Plenty of space to relax fish if you want or do nothing. Not too far to drive to Maclean or Yamba which is near the beach or for shopping at both towns. Ideal for dogs.

This was our most favourite Hipcamp we stayed at over the prior five weeks travelling. A wonderful relaxing place to stay right on the river and very close to Yamba and the beaches. Cathy and Tony were the perfect hosts. Highly recommended!!

We loved our stay here! We come to Yamba quite often and always try out new Hipcamps. This is one of the nicer places we have stayed and the hosts were a big contribution to that as they are absolutely lovely. The place is super quiet and very well maintained. We had the place all to ourselves but can’t imagine it feeling busy at all even when fully booked out - the space is huge! They supplied us with a fire pit which was a really nice bonus as it saved us packing ours and taking up space in the Ute. Will definitely stay again.

Beautiful setting. Watch the sunset over the water. Only 4 spots and we were the only campers. Plenty of grass for kids to play. Fires permitted. Only downside is the old highway behind. Just take ear plugs

It was great to enjoy the sunset direct on the river bank. Only a little drive from the next township if you feel like a coffee in the morning. The road is a bit close.
