Located on the Camden Haven River in Dunbogan, we offer a select few grassy sites overlooking our private saltwater lake, with North Brother Mountain providing a stunning backdrop.
Please note that we welcome fully self-contained caravans and motorhomes — apologies but the sites are not really suitable for tents/swags. There is no water, power or ablution facilities on site. Grey water is not an issue.
Although the property spans several acres, we offer only a few sites to ensure serenity, space, and ample room to manoeuvre. All sites are on raised grassy ground among Moreton Bay figs and gum trees.
Freshwater dams and wetlands attract abundant wildlife, including kangaroos and a variety of birds. We love our free-range wildlife and hope you do too — therefore, we have a strict no-pet policy.
We’re close to Dunbogan Boatshed for coffee, Pilot and Dunbogan Beach, scenic lookouts, and shops just across the bridge in Laurieton township — making this camp both peaceful and convenient.
The Dunbogan area is perfect for swimming, walking, hiking, fishing, boating, kayaking, sightseeing, bushwalks, shopping, cycling, surfing, bird and nature watching, dining out, or simply relaxing on site.
If you’re here for New Year’s Eve, you can enjoy the 9 pm fireworks from the Laurieton United Services Club — all from the comfort of your camp chair (just don’t forget your glass of bubbles!).
We trust you’ll enjoy your visit. 😊

Welcome to Two Rivers ~ Where two waterways meet and the story of our farm begins.
Currently at Two Rivers Farm, we only welcome self-sufficient, off-grid campers with maximum of 6 vans and 20 people though this will change as we continue to build and evolve the property. For now, you can choose between three distinctly beautiful spots each with its own perks and shared access to all the farm’s magic.
Camp at Ringer’s Rest:
Once the dairy farmer’s quarters, this rustic shed is now a bush-pub style gathering place. Settle by the fire, share stories and music, and raise a glass to farm camaraderie while overlooking the paddocks. Camp nearby and make this communal space your cosy hub.
Camp at Riverside Hilltop:
For sweeping views, set up at the Hilltop overlooking the river. Launch your fishing rods, canoes, SUPs or even a jet ski (no jetty, so launch from the riverbank). Watch swans glide, birds greet the dawn, and deer pass by as the river becomes your playground.
Your Hosts:
Hayden and Ash live on-site and will guide you to your spot whether riverside or hilltop. They’ll give you the farm rundown, share local tips, and help you feel right at home.
The Area:
Two Rivers is tucked away in Coolongolook on the Mid North Coast, with waterways flowing right out to Forster—just a 10-minute boat ride away. Nearby Nabiac offers the friendly Nabiac Hotel for a hearty meal or drink, plus The Artisan Farmer, a farm-to-table café, bakery, deli, and butcher showcasing local produce.
What to Bring:
We welcome self-sufficient campers only, so pack your swag, tent, campervan, or RV. At present there are no amenities, but exciting plans are underway for a camp kitchen and more facilities as the farm grows.

Welcome to Ridgeline Camping
Escape to 106 acres of elevated countryside with sweeping coastal and hinterland views.

Ridgeline is a genuine working cattle farm offering rolling grazing country, pockets of native bushland and the relaxed rhythm of rural life.

Whether you prefer an open site or a more private pocket, there’s room to spread out and enjoy the property your way.
You may notice livestock nearby and the occasional cow pat underfoot. During drier seasons, paddocks may not always be perfectly manicured — our cattle are our priority. What you’ll experience is authentic country Australia: space, simplicity and fresh air.

Located on the Camden Haven River in Dunbogan, we offer a select few grassy sites overlooking our private saltwater lake, with North Brother Mountain providing a stunning backdrop.
Please note that we welcome fully self-contained caravans and motorhomes — apologies but the sites are not really suitable for tents/swags. There is no water, power or ablution facilities on site. Grey water is not an issue.
Although the property spans several acres, we offer only a few sites to ensure serenity, space, and ample room to manoeuvre. All sites are on raised grassy ground among Moreton Bay figs and gum trees.
Freshwater dams and wetlands attract abundant wildlife, including kangaroos and a variety of birds. We love our free-range wildlife and hope you do too — therefore, we have a strict no-pet policy.
We’re close to Dunbogan Boatshed for coffee, Pilot and Dunbogan Beach, scenic lookouts, and shops just across the bridge in Laurieton township — making this camp both peaceful and convenient.
The Dunbogan area is perfect for swimming, walking, hiking, fishing, boating, kayaking, sightseeing, bushwalks, shopping, cycling, surfing, bird and nature watching, dining out, or simply relaxing on site.
If you’re here for New Year’s Eve, you can enjoy the 9 pm fireworks from the Laurieton United Services Club — all from the comfort of your camp chair (just don’t forget your glass of bubbles!).

Welcome to Two Rivers ~ Where two waterways meet and the story of our farm begins.
Currently at Two Rivers Farm, we only welcome self-sufficient, off-grid campers with maximum of 6 vans and 20 people though this will change as we continue to build and evolve the property. For now, you can choose between three distinctly beautiful spots each with its own perks and shared access to all the farm’s magic.
Camp at Ringer’s Rest:
Once the dairy farmer’s quarters, this rustic shed is now a bush-pub style gathering place. Settle by the fire, share stories and music, and raise a glass to farm camaraderie while overlooking the paddocks. Camp nearby and make this communal space your cosy hub.
Camp at Riverside Hilltop:
For sweeping views, set up at the Hilltop overlooking the river. Launch your fishing rods, canoes, SUPs or even a jet ski (no jetty, so launch from the riverbank). Watch swans glide, birds greet the dawn, and deer pass by as the river becomes your playground.
Your Hosts:
Hayden and Ash live on-site and will guide you to your spot whether riverside or hilltop. They’ll give you the farm rundown, share local tips, and help you feel right at home.
The Area:
Two Rivers is tucked away in Coolongolook on the Mid North Coast, with waterways flowing right out to Forster—just a 10-minute boat ride away. Nearby Nabiac offers the friendly Nabiac Hotel for a hearty meal or drink, plus The Artisan Farmer, a farm-to-table café, bakery, deli, and butcher showcasing local produce.
What to Bring:
We welcome self-sufficient campers only, so pack your swag, tent, campervan, or RV. At present there are no amenities, but exciting plans are underway for a camp kitchen and more facilities as the farm grows.

Very Friendly host. Nice quiet spot with direct river frontage. Boat ramp and small jetty for those with boats or canoes. Does have a small sandy shore where you can swim. Lots of birdlife for peaceful ambiance. Plenty of grassed flat sites for self contained. There is a long drop toilet if required.

Richard and Roslyn’s Riverside Farm Escape is one of our favourite Hipcamps.
The sites are clearly marked, really well maintained, and the grass was mint. There’s heaps for the kids to do — a small soccer pitch, canoeing on the river and the lily dam, plus clean toilets and showers.
Fishing down on the river was lively as well. If you’re travelling with kids, they’ll be well and truly entertained.
This will definitely be our go-to stop when heading past.

We had a wonderful overnight stop travelling between Sydney and Brisbane.
We had a peaceful, private spot with plenty of space to spread out and relax. The property was easy to find, safe and offered great views of the river. Facilities were clean and well looked after, and everything was exactly as described in the listing, which made arrival and set-up simple. Our host was welcoming, responsive to messages, and gave clear directions.

I can’t recommend this accommodation enough.
From the easy process of finding the campsite to the Lily pond to friendly staff this farm welcome on their land. The beautiful views of the wildlife were to die for.

Both Jaimie and Dave were easy going, hospitable and knew where the good fishing spots were! Would recommend and come again!
Also so much more space compared to driving past the Harrington camp park which was choccas with people

Honestly what’s not to love, the camp ground itself was beautiful and the animals were gorgeous. There are so many activities available I wish we spent longer! From the Kayaks, to the pedal boat, to the water trampoline (also a great spot to lay and watch the stars)
We rocked up on one of the hottest days this year and the owners drove around and shared some zooper doopers and had a chat, a very serene and welcoming stay our little group will definitely be back again!

Our second stay at Hamilton's Hideaway was just as good as our first. Great spot on the river and really close into town. Loved crowdy bay for a swim and the Coopy for a feed.
