A piece of paradise in the New England region of northern NSW. This region is renowned for being prime cattle grazing country and you’d be staying on our filling operating cattle property with stunning views to the north overlooking Grahams Valley.
It is situated in a peaceful rural setting with, clean, crisp mountain air. The elevation is approximately 1293 metres and in winter there are frosts and the occasional snowfall.
The camping area is grassed, level, and spacious, and has access to power, rainwater, and toilet. Campfires are permitted when conditions allow, and we're also pet-friendly!
We look forward to sharing our piece of paradise with you.

I loved the peaceful setting at River Terrace farm. The facilities were good and Bob checked on me to make sure I was okay. I thought the road noise would keep me awake but it didn't bother me at all.
Thanks for the great camp site.

We had a great experience at this place. We stayed at site 2, we had water at the site, great view, and clear instructions. Toilets and shower were very clean. Also having the pool there was a 10/10. Even though we didnt use it, they had washing machines there, which is really cool. Would definitely recommend. Thanks bob.

We loved our stay, it was quiet, spacious and has a well appointed shared bathroom with shower, toilet, vanity and a washing machine. Water and power are available.
The cows and horses are beautiful and the native wildlife is plentiful along with great country views.
Annabelle is a fantastic host and we will be happy to return for another stay in the future.

I booked Site 4. Unfortunately, we arrived late and missed the host’s greeting; however, he called us prior to our arrival and informed us about our site, which I truly appreciated. The view from the site was absolutely stunning, overlooking the river. The toilets were spotless and very well maintained.
The only drawback was the lack of shade at this location. As we were using a tent, it became quite hot in the morning. Those using a camper may experience fewer issues in this regard. Overall, it was a worthwhile stay, and we thoroughly enjoyed the natural beauty of the area.

We popped in for a quick over night stay and Riverdale on out trip north.
It is right on the river if you love a fish.
Paul has an old Red Kelpi, she was lovely and friendly.
She got loads of pets from the kids.
Paul was easy to deal with.
Camp site was nice and dry, flat and well maintained.
We highly recommend staying here if you are in the area.

This was my very first camping experience, so I had a lot of concerns at first. However, the facilities at this campsite completely put my worries at ease. The toilets and showers were much cleaner and more comfortable than I expected, and there was a sink with dishwashing liquid and sponges provided, which made washing up after meals very convenient.
The river in front of the campsite was absolutely beautiful and truly moving to wake up to in the morning. Late check-in was also available, and it was great that the staff were already there waiting for us without us needing to contact them.
Overall, it was an extremely satisfying first camping experience, and I would highly recommend this place.

We recently stayed at Riverside Terrace, Bob and Daisy were so helpful when we arrived.
We had a great spot overlooking the river.
There is a couple of toilets and showers if needed as well as a couple of washing machines and dryers and you can use the swimming pool.
We will be back.
Highly recommend.
Thanks guys

The best dog-friendly caravan sites in Northern Rivers guide
Where to go
The Tweed
Stretching for about 40 kilometres from Tweed Heads in the north down to Wooyung in the south, and west to the Border Ranges, The Tweed is a verdant coastal farming area dotted with seaside and hinterland campsites. Bask on empty beaches, admire the heritage architecture in tiny towns, tour the region’s farm gates, or take a cruise along the scenic Tweed River.
Brunswick Heads
This once-sleepy fishing town has become nearly as popular as its neighbour to the south, Byron Bay, in recent years. Brunswick Heads hugs the idyllic Brunswick River, popular for swimming, fishing, boating, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. Sheltered by the southern break wall, Torakina Beach is particularly popular among families. Choose between a number of campgrounds and holiday parks by the riverside, many with cabins and sites for caravans and tents.
Byron Bay to Lennox Head
The legendary surf and wellness hub at Australia’s most easterly point is well equipped for campers, with holiday parks within walking distance of the town centre, campgrounds toward Suffolk Park, 10 minutes south of town, and more at Broken Head. Twenty minutes south of Byron Bay, the quieter coastal town of Lennox Head has holiday parks just steps from the beach and the popular Lake Ainsworth recreation area.
Byron Bay Hinterland
The lush hinterland region west of Byron Bay is dotted with historic villages and pockets of lush subtropical rainforest ripe for hiking and waterfall chasing. The main place to camp is the Rummery Park Campground in Nightcap National Park, with easy access to hiking trails and the spectacular Minyon Falls Lookout. Private campgrounds also dot the area between Byron and Mullumbimby, 30 minutes to the northwest.
Yamba and Iluka
Heading south from Lennox Head, you can camp at Ballina and Evans Head, but the most popular camping spot south of Byron is the Yamba region, on the southern fringe of the Northern Rivers. More than a dozen holiday parks sit between the coastal fishing town of Yamba, on the southern bank of the Clarence River, and Woody Head, in Bundjalung National Park to the north. Between the two lies Iluka, which sits on the northern side of the river mouth. Typical of the NSW North Coast, good surf spots can be found here.
