Located, just 25 minutes from the pristine beaches of Yamba and Iluka.
Across the river and just 15 minutes from the Scottish town of Maclean, nestled high in the Yamba hinterland.
You will not hear traffic, you will not see headlights. Pure peace and tranquility for you to relax, chill and enjoy.
The sites are surrounded by rugged mountainous bush land with views, trails, cliffs, 3 creeks to explore and includes a private lake ‘Lake Arid’ with its own island, ‘Dead Dog Island’. Swim, paddle, fish, play.
Metres away is another private swimming hole ‘Pants Off Pond’ stocked with Silver Perch and Bass.
So whether you indulge in pants off, or leave them on and just fish it’s up to you.
Explore a little further and you’ll find ‘The Abyss’ a former micro quarry, 9m deep waterhole.
The creeks have waterfalls, swimming holes, pure and clean, though are a rugged unmarked hike.
The sites are site only. You’ll need to take care of your waste, water, rubbish and power. Generator is ok, we’re out of earshot, so is everyone else.
Each site has a picnic table and a fire pit and an abundance of ‘cut your own’ firewood upon the ground.
Remember, fires this time of year are for ‘cooking only’, so be sure to bring those marshmallows…
Pet Friendly, 4WD friendly with a bunch of serious challenges too… Horse friendly too, yep, there’s a yard to keep them too, up by the house.
Accessible by 2WD with sites with enough space for any size caravan or motor home.
While exploring, if you find a spot you’d rather camp, simply ask.
We live on the property so help is nearby for any issues and the access road is shared.
Peace, quiet and nature abounds.

Absolutely beautiful property! Ngaio was super lovely and accomodating. The cabin was comfortable and clean. Our dog had a fantastic time running free in the paddock and swimming in the dam. Looking forward to coming back when we’re next in the area.

Craig’s Private River Camp was the perfect destination for a relaxed camping Christmas with the extended family. There is plenty of space with not another soul in sight. Numerous potential sites to choose from each with a beautiful outlook. The river was a short walk from our selected camping area and we made use of the beach area with shade from a beautiful tree next to the waters edge. We also made use of the Kayaks available on site to do a bit of river exploring.
We are definitely planning to return.

Staying with Richard was a wonderful experience for us and the children. Richard is a wonderfully warm person who makes you feel right at home.
A beautiful property, surrounded by nature. A barbecue with wood is available, as are bathroom facilities, electricity, and water. There's even a swimming pool for the kids.
We recommend staying with Richard to everyone.

Richard's farm is a massive piece of land and we were allowed to pick any spot. Richard is a gracious host who proved all the necessities for the travelers - fresh water and power. There is plenty of wood on site and Richard can lend you an axe if you feel up to it. Bring some carrots and apples to feed the neighbours horses - kids will love it. The site itself is reasonably leveled and we had no issues in parking our motorhome. Overall our stay was fun and enjoyable.
