Truely magical time was had at Desley’s land. We had the whole place to ourselves. Such a lovely spot to stay, we stayed and the campsite under the trees. My kids roasted marshmallows on the fire for the first time. We took a trip down the road and swam in the creek, the water was crystal clear. It was a lovely way to get back to nature. The caretaker Wendy was beautifully kind and generous with her knowledge. Would love to return in the future.

This was a lovely place. Tracey and Karl were relaxed and convivial hosts. The other guests were nice and adhered to the rules. Our dogs had a great time, made some new friends and were exhausted by the time we got back in the car.

We loved camping here as our base for exploring the North Coast and Port Macquarie. Being able to have our dog here as well as it being nice quiet and peaceful with port of activities made it so good.
Tracy was great and they put a lot of effort into keeping the property looking top notch, it was nice they’d have a check in with guests every other night to make sure everyone’s good and have a chat and recommendations for places to check out!

Tracy's property is a beautiful place to stay- the green grass and river views 😍 It was great to have access to flushing toilets and the cold outdoor shower was so good on the hot days!
Tracy and her partner were super friendly and helpful too.
We had been enjoying swimming in the river, but just so everyone is aware, some guys in a boat came and told us that we should get out because there are bull sharks around. Obviously that's always a risk when swimming in coastal rivers, but they seemed to think it was high risk.
Apart from the potential swimming risk, it was one of the nicest and prettiest places we've stayed!
