Welcome to Undercliff Farm: A Place of Peace, Simplicity, and Connection....
At Undercliff Farm, we invite you to embrace the quiet beauty of a truly special place. This is not a park or a luxury retreat; instead, it’s a private campground where nature's tranquillity reigns, offering an opportunity to step away from the fast pace of modern life and reconnect with the land. Here, we value simplicity over luxury, connection over convenience, and the soothing embrace of nature over material comforts. So if you love your comforts, please make sure you book each caravan.
As you arrive at the farm, you’re not just stepping onto land — you’re entering a sanctuary. The sweeping landscapes, teaming with diverse wildlife and serene campgrounds, offer a peaceful haven where every moment spent here becomes a journey toward renewal. From the song of the birds to the quiet whispers of the wind, this is a space where you can truly unwind and reset.
Respecting this place is at the heart of our philosophy. Whether you're hiking, camping, or simply enjoying the sights and sounds of nature, we ask that you do so with care, preserving the harmony of this environment for future generations.

Awesome place to relax. Fantastic host. Great fishing. Loved the wild life and live stock. So chilled. Highly recommend. You need to be fully self sufficient and if you want to camp right on the river probably a 4wd and if in a caravan maybe off road one would be easier but never say never. Well worth the trip. Will definitely go again.

Good stop over for the night. A little on the pricey side but given there is nothing else in the area has the monopoly.
Mowed patch of lawn next to sugar cane field. No power/water.
Friendly host.

We stayed on Kendall's lovely rural property with our caravan and 2 dogs for a night on a road trip home recently. Our contact with Kendall was perfect as was the location...alongside a dam where except for some drizzle we would have had a fire. The location is peaceful and quiet...exactly what we were seeking. We have a 24' van and had not problem accessing the camping area. Highly recommended.

We had a great time camping at Fernlee Station, the main reason we went there was my son wanted to catch a Murray cod, fishing was tough as water had been released from the dam but we still managed a few nice cod, spent a lot of time at the nearby waterfall which was awesome!

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.
