Welcome to Port Macquarie's 'The Hatch Farm'; a pet friendly, interactive animal and fishing farm stay! A 150-acre working farm with a stunning outlook over the saltwater Maria River (with a rustic boat ramp and waterway running into the Hastings River). There is plenty to do and see at this hipcamp which was awarded to be one of the best hipcamps in NSW for 2024, and Australia wide for 2025!
Located on the Mid North Coast NSW, 4kms off the Pacific Highway, and a quick 13/15-minute drive to the holiday township of Port Macquarie. Port Macquarie is known for its beautiful beaches, coastal scenery and walks, koala hospital, local strawberry and tomato picking, and 4WDing at nearby beaches and through Cairncross State Forest.
Bernard and Susan are custodians of the farm, primarily using the land for poultry (egg), pig, and goat farming. They are transitioning to an off-grid and eco-friendly lifestyle for their retirement.
The Hatch Farm is home to many animals, most of whom are rescues - including border collies, cavalier king charles spaniels, chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, goats, miniature horses, cows, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. There is plenty to do and see around the farm from complete relaxation, interacting with the friendly animals (there is usually a variety of babies to cuddle!), to casting a line or launching your boat from the rustic boat ramp. Please note that all animal interactions are self-led (including our animal nursery), and children must be supervised by their parents/carers. During NSW School Holidays, host led animal interactions will be available at designated times.
Friendly pets welcome.

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. 😊

31km from Port Macquarie · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
After years of welcoming campers to experience the magic of the Pappinbarra River, we're moving to our next chapter in nearby Beechwood. Oakvale Cattle Farm is now for sale.
If you've ever dreamed of running your own farm stay or eco-tourism venture, this could be your chance. The property has the 1.5km of this beautiful river frontage you've been enjoying, platypus habitat, established gardens, and all the infrastructure to continue (or expand) what we've built here.
The homestead has dual living areas - perfect for hosting guests while keeping your private family space. There's also productive pasture land, irrigation security, solar power, and everything you'd need to create a thriving regenerative farm and nature-based tourism business.
Price guide $1.75m - $1.9m. If you're someone who's been camping with Hipcamp and thinking "I could do this myself," reach out. We're happy to show serious buyers around and share everything we've learned about this place and hosting on Hipcamp. See our website for more info.
We're halfway between Sydney and Brisbane and only 45 minutes from Port Macquarie Airport.
This is PRIVATE camping. Once you book you have the whole site to yourself. You'll only have to share the river with whoever you bring with you and us!
It's off-grid stuff - no power, no showers, little to no phone reception but one of the most peaceful places you can experience.
There will sometimes be cattle in the paddock - so to make this plain there could be cow poo around your area. If that is a worry to you, it's best you camp on a farm without livestock. If you do camp with us, and our cows are in the paddock, they are friendly and won't hurt you, though they can be quite inquisitive. We endeavor to keep our moo friends in other paddocks, but this is a working farm and we have to manage our pastures and put our animals where they are able to be safe and have enough food to stay healthy.
If you're here at the right time of year, you might catch a Bass or see a Platypus (but only if you're very, very quiet). There is a lot of bird life (Kingfishers, Wrens, Finches amongst others), reptiles (water dragons and lace monitors), and - of course - our farm animals.
Getting away from it all starts right here at Oakvale Cattle Farm.

Welcome to Port Macquarie's 'The Hatch Farm'; a pet friendly, interactive animal and fishing farm stay! A 150-acre working farm with a stunning outlook over the saltwater Maria River (with a rustic boat ramp and waterway running into the Hastings River). There is plenty to do and see at this hipcamp which was awarded to be one of the best hipcamps in NSW for 2024, and Australia wide for 2025!
Located on the Mid North Coast NSW, 4kms off the Pacific Highway, and a quick 13/15-minute drive to the holiday township of Port Macquarie. Port Macquarie is known for its beautiful beaches, coastal scenery and walks, koala hospital, local strawberry and tomato picking, and 4WDing at nearby beaches and through Cairncross State Forest.
Bernard and Susan are custodians of the farm, primarily using the land for poultry (egg), pig, and goat farming. They are transitioning to an off-grid and eco-friendly lifestyle for their retirement.
The Hatch Farm is home to many animals, most of whom are rescues - including border collies, cavalier king charles spaniels, chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, goats, miniature horses, cows, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. There is plenty to do and see around the farm from complete relaxation, interacting with the friendly animals (there is usually a variety of babies to cuddle!), to casting a line or launching your boat from the rustic boat ramp. Please note that all animal interactions are self-led (including our animal nursery), and children must be supervised by their parents/carers. During NSW School Holidays, host led animal interactions will be available at designated times.
Friendly pets welcome.

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. 😊

After years of welcoming campers to experience the magic of the Pappinbarra River, we're moving to our next chapter in nearby Beechwood. Oakvale Cattle Farm is now for sale.
If you've ever dreamed of running your own farm stay or eco-tourism venture, this could be your chance. The property has the 1.5km of this beautiful river frontage you've been enjoying, platypus habitat, established gardens, and all the infrastructure to continue (or expand) what we've built here.
The homestead has dual living areas - perfect for hosting guests while keeping your private family space. There's also productive pasture land, irrigation security, solar power, and everything you'd need to create a thriving regenerative farm and nature-based tourism business.
Price guide $1.75m - $1.9m. If you're someone who's been camping with Hipcamp and thinking "I could do this myself," reach out. We're happy to show serious buyers around and share everything we've learned about this place and hosting on Hipcamp. See our website for more info.
We're halfway between Sydney and Brisbane and only 45 minutes from Port Macquarie Airport.
This is PRIVATE camping. Once you book you have the whole site to yourself. You'll only have to share the river with whoever you bring with you and us!
It's off-grid stuff - no power, no showers, little to no phone reception but one of the most peaceful places you can experience.
There will sometimes be cattle in the paddock - so to make this plain there could be cow poo around your area. If that is a worry to you, it's best you camp on a farm without livestock. If you do camp with us, and our cows are in the paddock, they are friendly and won't hurt you, though they can be quite inquisitive. We endeavor to keep our moo friends in other paddocks, but this is a working farm and we have to manage our pastures and put our animals where they are able to be safe and have enough food to stay healthy.
If you're here at the right time of year, you might catch a Bass or see a Platypus (but only if you're very, very quiet). There is a lot of bird life (Kingfishers, Wrens, Finches amongst others), reptiles (water dragons and lace monitors), and - of course - our farm animals.
Getting away from it all starts right here at Oakvale Cattle Farm.

It’s very obvious the Hosts have put a lot of work into making this HipCamp site the best it can be. From immaculate long drop loos to playground for the kids and access to the River.
Eggs & Firewood if needed, not much more you could wish for.
Quiet night with the sound of the River in the background.

We had a great stopover at Jali. So so peaceful. Mick and Ann were very social and accommodating. The pool & happy hour drinks at their bar were great. A spot of fishing off the bank was also good. Highly recommend.

We stayed on Site 1 which was powered, close to the river and swings. Was a fantastic place to stay for a few nights on our travels.
The animal feeding each afternoon was an absolute hit with our kids with Cheryl and Rick putting in a lot of effort to make it a great experience.

Nice flat and mowed campsites with plenty of space between sites. Short stroll through an old Casuarina forest dotted with stag and elk horn ferns to get to the crystal clear river. Our dog loved it too. We will definitely be back.

We loved our stay and really couldn’t ask for more. Great little touches to make everything spot on for guests.
Especially loved that the camping area has been fenced off from the farm, keeping the area free from droppings.
We will definitely recommend and return when in the area.

Always a great stay. Unfortunately the weather and the fish weren’t overly friendly this time but we love our stay there. Always kept tidy. Great for a campfire on Site 1 no matter what the weather is thanks to the camp kitchen. Thanks Scott for keeping it all neat and tidy
