Weekend Trip to Glennbrooke River Camp

Absolutely stunning location - beautiful views and the peaceful sound of fish jumping. Had the best time as a base to SUP. Brooke was super responsive, and the wheelbarrow load of wood was generous!! Would absolutely love to stay again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful spot.

2 nights at Glennbrooke River Camp

WOW WOW WOW, My Husband, myself and our Border Collie spent 2 beautiful nights at Glennbrook Campground our Host Brooke was amazing giving us perfect easy instructions to the camp and when we arrived Brooke and the family was so lovely and friendly, we then were guided to our site and didn't want to leave. Camped right on the river, fabulous fire pit, thought have a bit of fun trying fishing and FISH ON !!! a tad small let her go, also watched a kangaroo swim across the river in front of us. We had a dip in the river which was lovely and refreshing this was 5th May 25. The Property is gorgeous the sites are level and spacious, we got our Hyundi Staria van there no problem. Overall, a very special and magical place to unwind and enjoy, thank you for sharing your beautiful property ....we will see you again soon. 10/10 and more. Amanda

1 night at Glennbrooke River Camp

You will be hard pushed to find a more idyllic and tranquil setting. The camp sites are secluded, spacious, on even grassy ground and right on the river which is teaming with fish, birds and wildlife. Brooke and the family are wonderful, welcoming and attentive hosts. I will certainly coming back. I cannot recommend highly enough.

4 nights at Kiah Wilderness Camp

Amazing location and very private. Jenny & Arthur were extremely accommodating with our dogs which we really appreciated. The camp site its self was clean and very spacious. Loved it! Will definitely be coming back.

Weekend Trip to Anchorage Farm Narooma

My husband and I loved Anchorage Farm Narooma. Plenty of space on the green grass surrounded by bush. Birds and wallabies added to the beauty of the campsite.

Weekend Trip to Kangarutha Farm

We loved our stay at Kangarutha Farm, we had the camp by the dam which was absolutely stunning! Felt like we were miles from everyone, tranquil and beautiful setting with a an awesome sunset. Tom was the perfect host, nothing was a bother. Facilities were immaculately maintained….would definitely recommend a stay :)

Weekend Trip to Millingandi Station

Very convenient location right off the highway but also very quiet! The riverside camp spot was stunning, could hear the fishes jumping out of the river all night!

Weekend Trip to Millingandi Station

Awesome spot, I’ve stayed at many campsites around Australia and the world and this would be up there, super convenient, great facilities without looking like a caravan park, and very welcoming.

3 nights at Millingandi Station

What an awesome spot, super convenient for all the towns around the place, a lovely river to fish or paddle on if that’s your thing and fantastic facilities without the “Caravan Park” squashed in feel.

Weekend Trip to Figtree Camp @ Mystery Bay

This was our 3rd visit to Figtree Camp and as always it was a pleasure to stay. The hosts are always very welcoming but not imposing, the property is always well kept, and the location is perfect for accessing the beach and surrounding areas. We will always come back to this site.

Weekend Trip to Glennbrooke River Camp

Glenbrooke River Camp was a wonderful escape offering fishing, canoe and paddle boarding, star gazing and a enjoyable time reflecting by the fire. The campsite was exceptional, offering a generous fire pit and tables & chairs under cover. Easy access to the site, Brooke was a delight and we vote this camping experience to be in the top ten of our adventures. We will definitely be frequenting Glenbrooke River Camp again, the next time with the family.

Weekend Trip to Ingenia Holidays Bermagui

Fantastic campground with excellent amenities and terrific waterfront views. Powered site made charging the car overnight super simple, recommend a decent extension lead in case you’re not directly in front of the outlets. Loved seeing the sun set over the water and will definitely return for another stay.

Weekend Trip to Glennbrooke River Camp

We had a wonderful stay – the property is beautifully secluded, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind from the hustle and bustle. Brooke and Glen were such lovely, attentive hosts, even providing firewood so we could enjoy the large fire pits on site. Our dog had an absolute blast – the flat, grassy grounds were perfect for him to run around, and he loved splashing in the river. We’ll definitely be back in a heartbeat to soak up more sunsets, stargazing, and the peaceful bush setting.

2 nights at Kangarutha Farm

Camping at Kangarutha Farm was delightful! We tent camped in the Big Paddock Creek Camp and there was plenty of space for the three of us (two tents, two vehicles.) The facilities were clean and well-stocked, and having our bikes made the distance between our tents and them easy to cover! Our dog loved being able to explore the paddock and meet the friendly horses, and the bike trail into Tathra goes right past the farm making it really easy to cycle or walk into town. Tom was super friendly and has a very cute dog! We would definitely come back again!

Weekend Trip to So Good Farm

I loved camping at So Good farm !! it was the most lovely, warm, welcoming experience. Rebecca was so friendly and put so much effort into making the stay as homely as possible. the resources and facilities available were fantastic. I definitely recommend staying here if you want a beautiful, peaceful and wholesome farm stay. Can’t wait to be back one day !!

5 nights at So Good Farm

A fabulous place that we would love to visit again. The glamping tent was put to the test with hours of heavy rain and passed - we were dry, warm and cosy inside. The surrounds are beautiful and peaceful, whilst the camp kitchen and sitting area is well equipped and cosy. Bec was an amazing host, making sure we had everything we needed, lending us equipment and providing tips on where to visit. We have no hesitation in recommending So Good Farm to others.

2 nights at Scout's Run Private Creekside Camp

As a couple who had never tried glamping before, this was a great first experience! The caravan was full of amenities, super comfortable and easy access to the beautiful refreshing creek right in their backyard! Hipcamp was easy to find and enter as the instructions given by the host was very clear. Overall, a super happy experience here at Scouts Run.

Nerrigundah Tuross River Camping

1 site · Tent200 acres · Nerrigundah, NSW

Based near Mount Utopia, Nerrigundah, we fell in love with our little sanctuary in 2020. There are two families Dwayne, Michelle, Robbie and Sharon and their four boys Blake, Taeg, Cooper and Flynn. Campers at heart, we started spending nearly every second weekend in our campers and this lead to many a night discussing what else we could do to make this property a place for others to use. It is a work in progress and there is plenty more to come, currently there is a ablution block that is up near the old house site, we decided it was best to have the camp area closer to the river. We have since added a camp kitchen, large undercover area and two cabins (for our own use at this stage). Enjoy direct access to the river plus more swimming areas on the property. Campfires are permitted. There is some firewood on the property but probably best to bring some of your own. There is Telstra service enabling mobile coverage if needed especially for emergencies. 4WDs are recommended to access this campsite. During the rain we recommend 4WD only. In dry you can access with an all wheel drive. Please message us if you're unsure about weather conditions and your vehicle. Our little piece of Utopia is still a work in progress but is picturesque as well as peaceful. Your furry family member is welcome to join you. We hope you enjoy our little Utopia.

We purchased our 200-acre property after it was devastated by the Summer 2019/20 bushfires. We are new to farming and are learning to live on the land. The property came with sheep which we are also learning a lot about, we also have an extremely friendly kelpie named Sage. We are interested in the idea of becoming organic farmers, love to do our bit for the environment, and want to live a more sustainable lifestyle. We grow herbs and vegetables, have a few fruit trees, and can't wait to plant more. We have fallen in love with farming life and want our farm to be a place of learning and enjoyment and can't wait to share the little place we call home. So Good Farm is situated 20 minutes west of Pambula Beach on the Sapphire Coast. The property is surrounded by trees and is filled with an abundance of wildlife. There is a creek that runs through the property and a spring feed dam. Plenty of walking tracks throughout the hilly property with amazing views at various spots, especially the peak of the property, if you are up for the challenge.
