Immerse yourself in nature as you camp beside our friendly cows, swim, fish or kayak in the Hastings river, hike our trails, or forage in our wild orchards.
All of our sites are secluded as our property is large, we invite you to our peaceful piece of countryside for a self contained camping trip with all the convenience of town just minutes away.
Cameron's Falls is a historic site, the 'falls', really just gentle rapids, are the original river crossing site for horse drawn vehicles to travel from Port Macquarie/Wauchope inland to Beechwood and beyond. Today we are a hobby farm with cows, horses - we invite you to say hello, but please don't feed any of the animals. If we are here to greet you on arrival you can fill up with potable rain water at our cottage.
The Hastings is still tidal at our place so the access and flow varies throughout the day - we generally take our littlest kids down at low tide. Swim, fish or explore our hiking trails though the old growth riparian vegetation along winding creeks. If you are into birds you will see plenty here - in the last 12 months we have counted nearly 100 different species on our property!

Escape to the tranquil beauty of Cameron's Falls Farm, a 100 acre hobby farm just 5 minutes from Wauchope and 25 minutes from Port Macquarie's beaches. Immerse yourself in nature as you camp beside our friendly cows, swim, fish or kayak in the Hastings river, hike our trails, or forage in our wild orchards.
All of our sites are secluded as our property is large, we invite you to our peaceful piece of countryside for a self contained camping trip with all the convenience of town just minutes away.
Cameron's Falls is a historic site, the 'falls', really just gentle rapids, are the original river crossing site for horse drawn vehicles to travel from Port Macquarie/Wauchope inland to Beechwood and beyond. Today we are a hobby farm with cows, horses - we invite you to say hello, but please don't feed any of the animals. If we are here to greet you on arrival you can fill up with potable rain water at our cottage.
The Hastings is still tidal at our place so the access and flow varies throughout the day - we generally take our littlest kids down at low tide. Swim, fish or explore our hiking trails though the old growth riparian vegetation along winding creeks. If you are into birds you will see plenty here - in the last 12 months we have counted nearly 100 different species on our property!

We had such a wonderful stay at Kate’s farm campsite. Kate was an absolutely amazing host, so warm, welcoming and thoughtful. She kindly gave us fresh free range eggs and some lovely garlic, which was such a special touch and really added to the whole farm experience.
The camping spot itself was beautiful, peaceful and perfectly located. It felt secluded and relaxing, yet it was an ideal distance from the shops and the beach, making it easy to explore while still enjoying the quiet surroundings. Evenings were especially magical, with gorgeous views overlooking the dam.
One of the highlights for us was the lovely shed by the water. Sitting there overlooking the dam and spotting turtles was such a memorable experience. It was the perfect place to unwind after a day out.
Kate also recommended some fantastic nearby spots, which kept us busy during our three night stay and every single one was amazing. Communication was excellent throughout and we felt completely looked after from start to finish.
We would absolutely camp here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

This is by far my favourite Hipcamp I've ever stayed at! The beautiful blue water was so refreshing to swim in, and the pristine water made for a beautiful backdrop when using the bathtub. On top of this, the hosts are the most wonderful people in the world.

We’ve travelled across Australia and stayed in many different camps, but this one takes the cake! From the beautiful blue water to the wildlife and the stargazing, everything was incredible. We felt like two kids again jumping in the water all day, playing on the floatie and swinging on the swing. There’s even SUPs and canoes to use! The bathtub upgrade is definitely worth it, who can say that they’ve watched wild turtles swimming in the water below while having a bath? And to top it all off, Laura and Doug were exceptional hosts - you can tell they really care about the beautiful property and they make sure everyone’s visits are perfect!
10/10, can’t wait to come back!

Fourth time visiting Little Rawdon Island and we love it more every time we come. This time we visited with another 2 couples who loved it just as much as we did. Crabbing, lazy afternoons playing Uno by the river watching the dolphins swim past. Highly recommend this camp if you want to chill out and escape the rat race.

Little Rawdon Island Camp is a beautiful riverside gem, perfect for a peaceful getaway. I stayed at Site 4, which was quiet and spacious, allowing for a relaxing camp fire setup. The location excels for fishing, and host Scott generously offered guidance on catching mud crabs. Access via 2WD was straightforward and hassle-free. Highly recommended for nature lovers seeking serenity and outdoor activities.

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
