5. Heartwood - tranquility

48km from Laurieton · 10 sites · Tents, RVs

Heartwood Farm is a centrally located 120 acres on the Mid-North Coast - about halfway between Sydney and Brisbane, only 1.5 kms off Pacific Highway, 25 mins to Port Macquarie, 15 Mins to Kempsey, 30 minutes to Crescent Head and 45 mins to South West Rocks. We are off grid and live close to nature and enjoy the abundance that provides. We have been building and developing for the last few years. We are still a work in progress. There are three Brumbies that live over the fence and 5 other horses that will no doubt come and say hello. They are all friendly, especially if you have a carrot. There are also a lot of kangaroos and wallabies, some quite friendly as they have been raised by our neighbour who does animal rescue. There are also a lot of different species of birds, including the much-loved Black Cockatoos which are in abundance here. We have also seen turtles, frilled neck lizards, diamond pythons, red belly black snakes (rarely) and goannas.

Bush Camping right at the beach was fantastic. A little out of the way to walk to shops BUT it’s perfect for busy times to get away from crowds. Huge camp sites so it feels like you’re the only one there.

Nice spot to chill out or just hang out with friends and family. Close to town, cycle ways and close to the north haven baths and amenities. Rode my bike everywhere, so easy. Great host if there is anything you need just ask.

Beautiful setting! Lake on one side and beach on the other! The Campgrounds are set on each side of the road north to Forster but this does not detract from a charming and unique spot. The onsite cafe is just beautiful and the site is really well kept overall. We'll be back!

Our location on higher ground wasn’t only appreciated but a great spot too, on a farm that borders a forest and, the coastal village of North Haven. A humble place which we grew fond of quickly. Thrilled to discover a couple of gem beaches locally. Scenic walks and seafood on tap, all part of a superb offer! Thanks Ian and family for your kindness and always friendly faces.

Peaceful and quiet and a great spot in the bush to spend a couple of days. Been here a few times now and will keep returning from time to time. You can access most of the property for wandering around and will find a few friendly horses eager for a pat and a carrot.

The location is unbeatable — you truly feel like you're tucked away in nature, yet you're only 5 to 15 minutes from everything: the river, beaches, town, Woolies, BWS, and even the Dooragan Mountain lookout. It’s the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and convenience. We can’t wait to come back!

Great location with plenty of outdoor exploration options. Lake on one side and the beach on the other. Facilities are well maintained and very useful. Just unfortunate that the tent sites are so close to the road with minimal sound barriers.
