Nestled on the eastern river flats of the Bellingen Valley, Riverwood 383 invites you to experience the unspoiled beauty of the pristine Bellingen River, set within the heart of a working farm.
Settle into your own riverside camp spot, where you can cast a line for fish and mud crabs, launch a kayak into the tranquil waters, or simply relax and soak in the serenity.
Set out from Riverwood off our boat ramp in your dinghy or small motorboat and let the river guide your adventure. Drift quietly into hidden fishing spots where the waters teem with life, or follow the current downstream to the picturesque village of Repton. For a different journey, turn upstream and wind your way to Bellingen, where the river snakes between lush green flats and rises into majestic mountain backdrops — every bend offering a new view, a new moment of calm, and a deeper connection with this timeless landscape.
Riverwood is ideally located halfway between the country charm of the town of Bellingen and the coastal beauty of Urunga — just an easy 8-minute drive in either direction. Spend the day exploring Bellingen’s cafés, markets, and culture, or head the other way to Urunga for pristine estuaries, beaches, and ocean breezes.
As night falls, drift to sleep under a canopy of stars, with the gentle sounds of the river and the peaceful company of cows nearby—a true farm-meets-nature escape.
The ACCESS road to our campsite is flat and easy to navigate, though it is unsealed. For this reason, we recommend arriving in an AWD or 4WD vehicle for a smooth and comfortable journey.
The campsite is basic, there are no facilities.
Guests will need to provide their own toilet facilities. There are free public Dump Points available in Bellingen, Urunga, Mylestom and Coffs Harbour
