A very private and peaceful slice of the Nambucca Valley, featuring multiple elevated sites with spectacular views.
You’ll be greeted at the base camp and directed to the sites that require a short hike. Your equipment will be delivered to you, or 4WD access can be discussed if needed.
We never crowd the property — you’ll have entire areas to yourself for maximum privacy.
Abundant wildlife makes this a birdwatcher’s paradise. Do as much or as little as you desire.

Very convenient stop over spot for us. Not far from the freeway, but feels like you are a world away. Quick to get down to the beach or to the supermarket etc, but then escape back to subtropical mountains. Didn’t see Ray, but not did we need to. We stopped twice, once in each direction on our drive.

Such a good spot down near the creek and plenty of space so you can spread out from other campers. The weather gods didn’t smile on my trip, but I’m sure on a sunny day it’s even more beautiful.

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.

Great spot to camp, very flat, east 2WD access and next to the creek. Some deep spots for swimming but even the shallow is lovely to lay around in the heat. Sam the host was amazing and couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome. Definately a place to return to.
