On a lush 286 acres backing onto Border Ranges National Park, we are surrounded by 3kms of creek with flowing slopes and beautiful sunset views of Mt Lindesay. For campers we are focusing on around 30 acres and spots close to Sawpit Creek would be ideal to set up camp. Bring your tent, swag or caravan and park up next to our beautiful Sawpit creek. Perfect for a swim! Currently there's a picnic table and some seating areas. We will be building a compost toilet and large BBQ area soon! Drinking water is available, and at the moment we are welcoming only self-contained campers who bring their own camping toilet/shower. Your pet is welcome to camp with you. Our property backs onto Border Ranges National Park! And you can see Mt Lindesay from our property, so bring your camera! It's 15 min to Wiangaree and 35 min to Kyogle. The camping area is 2WD accessible but you will have to cross some creeks. You should be ok in the 2WD as the creek crossing has a small incline and decline. We welcome caravans, campervans and camper-trailers/ tents. You may see us pass by the camping area from time to time. We are a friendly as 😊 and invite you to have a coffee or beer with us.

Weekend Trip to Tyungun At Ferny Glen

What an amazing place, the site is massive, so secluded, private and peaceful. Two beautiful swimming holes to cool off in. Access to the creek is easy and there is a rope to assist getting in and out for the deeper swimming hole. The wildlife is amazing to sit and watch and the cows come right up to the roped off site too. Would highly recommend this site to anyone. The hosts are brilliant, so friendly and great communication and to be able to buy firewood from them makes the stay so much better. We will be back again for sure!

The swimming hole is a beautiful little spot all to yourself right beside the running creek with crystal clear deeper spots and the water wasn’t freezing cold. The area is flat with plenty of shade for summer, or there is sunny areas for winter. Bryce was super friendly and accomodating delivering the firewood. Having phone reception is a bonus. We love this spot and will definitely be back soon.

Beautiful serenity. I loved my stay here. A perfect spot alongside the creek. I feel lucky to have found this place. Only downside- Toilet and shower in desperate need of a clean.

We loved our stay at Bryce’s camp spot! Right next to the beautiful running creek with a spot deep enough to swim and cool off in! Communication was amazing and having our firewood waiting a bonus! We will definitely be back! One of our favourite HipCamps to date!

Thanks Bryce, we had a great 3 nites at this site. Plenty of shade to set our camper up in. Creek right in front of the site with a decent size and deep clear swimming hole. Perfect for a refreshing dip and float to around in. Every now and again a little noise from the road, however you are far enough in not to feel too exposed! We checked out Bryce’s other site.. Silky Oak which was a lot more private with 2 deeper swimming holes…keen to try that one next time 🙂

Nice campsite. - It’s split into two halves, so have a look around and see what the spaces are like and what suits you. Back side might need 4wd to get in/out in wet conditions. - We bought firewood, it was good, and lots of fire rings about. - The creek is nice, very clean - different accesses depending on your camp spot. - The train goes past but was not very loud in my opinion.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Valley Camping and Tea Gardens

We really enjoyed our stay at Hidden Valley Camping and would stay there again. Note there are no tea Gardens or ice available and the firewood is not great. Best bits: * wildlife - fireflies!, bandicoots, lots of birds and domestic Guinea fowl and chooks * the creek with swimming holes * friendly people * really quiet Could improve: * bathrooms - no soap, toilet paper hit and miss, needs a clean! * a bit weedy, but I notice this a lot.

Warrazambil Creek borders us to the north, with over 750m of creek frontage in total. This creek has never run dry and is fed by the pristine waters of the Border Ranges rain forest. Swimming holes and a gorgeous magical forest bank area make this the perfect place to relax.

Great spot with Easy access to site as per instructions. We had plenty of room for 3 campers. Even with the dry period to date there was still plenty of water flow with multiple swimming holes. Road near by gives road noise but only during peak periods. Was a fantastic trip away with a perfect spot to un wind. Will def be back. Thanks again to a great host.

Perfectly peaceful and private. No other campers nearby. The fire pit is in front of a beautiful view of the creek and the area is spacious enough for a group. We loved it for just us and our cat, It was everything we needed!
