The property offers a two-bedroom bungalow and a secluded campsite for self-contained campers, in addition to our other variety of services including retreats, equine therapy, weddings and venue hire.
Our property is surrounded by the crystal clear ocean, a beautiful rural outlook and rainforest walks. Sugar Beach Ranch offers you a private and picturesque beachfront experience. Simply put it's ‘Nature’s Playground’.
Sugar Beach Ranch is a special place... a place of relaxation and reflection. We want guests to enjoy the break away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Wake up to songs of native birds. Bring your own horse, guitar, or your writing book and loll away the hours nurturing your soul in paradise.
All guests have shared access to the 15m resort-style magnesium pool and direct beach access from the property.
We are a wildlife sanctuary and an operating farm with horses, chickens, ducks, pigeons and a peacock. There are dogs on the property to protect the chickens and other animals from predators, so please don’t bring any pets of your own.
Enjoy Sugar Beach Ranch with your horse, bring them along for the holiday, and plenty of beach and trail rides. Paddock accommodation available.

The Burns Point Ferry is the best way to get to us, it runs from 5:30am until 12.30am daily, consistently running back and forth. An approx. 8min journey each way and costs $.00 each way, payable by credit card only. So you can easily go into Ballina town for all shops, cafes, restaurants, etc.
If the ferry isn't for you, you can drive to Ballina via Wardell on River Drive.
The bungalow is located approx. 25m from the main residence, and the campsite is located approx. 300m from the main residence tucked away in the paddocks and forest. We are onsite and available if needed.

Wind through the picturesque sugarcane fields of South Ballina where you will find us on our 60 acre property with spectacular ocean views, beautiful native bushland and Australian wildlife.
Sugar Beach Ranch is one of the most secluded treasures in the Northern Rivers, only 40 mins from Byron Bay NSW and within 30 mins to Ballina, Bangalow and surrounding scenic waterfalls.
The property offers a two-bedroom bungalow and a secluded campsite for self-contained campers, in addition to our other variety of services including retreats, equine therapy, weddings and venue hire.
Our property is surrounded by the crystal clear ocean, a beautiful rural outlook and rainforest walks. Sugar Beach Ranch offers you a private and picturesque beachfront experience. Simply put it's ‘Nature’s Playground’.
Sugar Beach Ranch is a special place... a place of relaxation and reflection. We want guests to enjoy the break away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Wake up to songs of native birds. Bring your own horse, guitar, or your writing book and loll away the hours nurturing your soul in paradise.
All guests have shared access to the 15m resort-style magnesium pool and direct beach access from the property.
We are a wildlife sanctuary and an operating farm with horses, chickens, ducks, pigeons and a peacock. There are dogs on the property to protect the chickens and other animals from predators, so please don’t bring any pets of your own.
Enjoy Sugar Beach Ranch with your horse, bring them along for the holiday, and plenty of beach and trail rides. Paddock accommodation available.
As we are located in the secluded and sleepy cane fields of South Ballina there is limited access to shops, cafes, restaurants, etc.
The Burns Point Ferry is the best way to get to us, it runs from 5:30am until 12.30am daily, consistently running back and forth. An approx. 8min journey each way and costs $.00 each way, payable by credit card only. So you can easily go into Ballina town for all shops, cafes, restaurants, etc.
If the ferry isn't for you, you can drive to Ballina via Wardell on River Drive.
The bungalow is located approx. 25m from the main residence, and the campsite is located approx. 300m from the main residence tucked away in the paddocks and forest. We are onsite and available if needed.
Sugar Beach Ranch is an operating farm with staff onsite caring for animals and maintaining the grounds. All care is taken to ensure minimal disruption to guests.

You can even throw a line in and you might catch a fish. There is a lovely covered platform you can sit on as you reflect. If you are quiet enough you might see a platypus or two or catch a fish.
Once your booking has been placed, if you do not hear from me within ten minutes, please give me a ring on the provided phone number.
Please note:
The road is a dirt road, please check local weather prior to arrival, ground may be soggy if it's been raining recently.
When it rains, some of the areas may get muddy. Please reach out to Host with any questions about this.
There are walking tracks or bike riding for kids, if you have a horse or pony you can bring them along too. How about a game of outdoors skittles or spot the native plants, pick a citrus fruit or maybe spot a wallaby, echidna, possum or laugh with the kookaburra's.

Wow! What an awesome campsite! I had a perfect stay there with my dog. The campsite is so pretty, grassy with lovely shade trees, plus the undercover area and tables is a great setup. I was in absolute awe at the incredible gardens nearby, and we had many strolls through there, always seeing something new each time. Thank you for a very relaxing and peaceful couple of days, looking forward to returning in a couple months time and seeing the different season in the gardens.

We had an awesome stay at Riverbend Retreat. The campground is set right above the river, with the water literally running just below the site, which makes for an unreal backdrop the whole time you’re there. The river itself is crystal clear and perfect for swimming, relaxing, or just sitting back and taking it all in.
For anyone into fishing, this spot is a winner — there’s some cracking bass fishing right out front, especially early morning and late arvo. It’s one of those places that feels peaceful and secluded but still has everything you need for a great camping getaway.
We’ll definitely be back 👍

The place was lovely. Extremely quiet and private. A bonus was fresh water, 12 volt power and a toilet. Well done Damien. If all Hipcamps were this good.

Amazing camp ground! Such a beautiful place with an open area with trees towering over and stream running through! I stay at hip camps regularly and this was the best one I’ve been to. Host very responsive and polite!! 10/10

Such a beautiful, quiet, spacious spot. The creek was lovely for a little dip in. Firepit would have been perfect for a cooler night. Will definitely be coming back. Gorgeous spot!

Felt like we had our own private forest. Excellent drop toilet close to camp. My dog was super happy there, lots of space and a very tranquil environment. The location is great for its easy access to the coast. Tristan was accommodating and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended. Would definitely return.

We had a tranquil stop over at Creek Edge in our way home from a busy holiday. We just stayed the one night but certainly could have stayed more. The sites were flat and grassy and easily accessible to our 21.6 van. Each have their own private access to the lovely creek and shade from the nearby trees. Definitely will be back! Thank you for hosting us on your lovely property.

I’ve camped here twice now, once with a large group and then as a couple, and had a great time! It feels nicely remote while still being within a five minute drive of shops/cafe.
The creek is so lovely and Jessica and her partner were very helpful and accomodating. I recommend her delicious jams!
The general store in Federal had everything we needed, from gas bottles to yummy snacks.
Directions are straightforward and roads are signed. Lower cars can definitely get through but just fyi our friend’s car scraped the bottom so just something to consider. The weather was perfect when we stayed so can’t speak on the access after rainfall.
Will definitely be back!

Cannot stress enough how great this place is.
Waze did try and steer us incorrectly but you can see where you need to be and get there easily.
Camp-site is a nice size patch beside the river which easily fitted out party of 10 adults 6 kids and 3 dogs. With an undercover picnic table and fire pit.
We even spotted a platypus feeding in the rapids near the swimming hole
Overall a great long weekend had by all

Amazing campsite! We would definitely visit again. Toilets and showers were clean and having the use of a kitchen for washing up dishes etc was great.
