The South West Rocks coastline might be a mecca for surfers but there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the costal life on the New South Wales Mid-North Coast. Nestled on the banks of Back Creek, a scenic tidal waterway, Ingenia Holidays South West Rocks is the perfect basecamp for both water sports lovers and anglers, with the Macleay River Boat Ramp just two kilometers from the holiday park grounds.
Enjoy a sleep-under-the-stars experience and pitch the tent or put down the trailer legs in one of the 150 caravan and camping powered and unpowered sites, which include waterfront and ensuite sites. If you prefer the creature comforts of home, you can choose a cabin or villa – from a studio cabin to a three-bedroom deluxe villa. For water-based activities during your stay, book a surfing lesson, hire a stand-up paddle board, don a snorkel mask or book a fishing charter from the reception of Ingenia Holidays South West Rocks. Active holiday makers will want to pack walking shoes to explore the nearby walking trails of Hat Head National Park, navigating through Little Bay, Smoky Cape and Captain Cook’s Lookout. Learn about the local region with a tour of Trial Bay Goal or stroll the local town center, which is only a short one kilometer walk from the holiday park.

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.

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.

What a slice of heaven!
We came on a cloudy couple of days but it still did not disappoint.
Our daughter and dog had so much land to run around on and he creek was magnificent!! Yes there is a bit of muck in the water but who cares!? It was still Crystal clear and warm.
We had a visit off the hosts puppy who was adorable anda brief interaction with the host who was super friendly and respectful.
Couldn’t fault a thing!!!
It required three river crossings and a small but steep Hill to get to the campsite. We are no way experienced caravans but we managed all obstacles fine. No need for putting down tyre pressure or using recovery gear.
Superb stay.

Pretty much everyting was a standout. We stayed for 1 week and opted for a powered site near the inground pool. Beautiful quiet spot surrounded by beautiful trees, shrubs snd bird songs. Richard was an amazing host. He kindly let us use his washing machine to do a load of washing. Large sheltered area by the pool with table, chairs and a BBQ. The campfire was a real joy to sit around and cook baked spuds over coals. Would 100% recommend a stay here. We plan on coming back again. Well done Richard.

We had an amazing stay at The Hatch and couldn’t recommend it more. Susan and Bernard were incredibly friendly and welcoming hosts, which made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.
The campsites are spacious and well laid out, with large shelters and easy access to the river. Toilets and showers were spotless and clearly very well maintained. The setting is wonderfully relaxing and quiet—perfect for switching off and enjoying nature.
For families, the animal nursery and the abundance of playground equipment would be a real highlight. We also loved the free kayaks, which were fantastic for exploring the river, and there are plenty of great spots for fishing too.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we will definitely be coming back.

The Grove was a beautiful and well situated campsite for a trip with my partner and our dog. The trees were shady (essential for hot weekend) and there were many birds, so the feel was very natural although you camp close to the working farm facilities. The owners and caretakers are around, friendly and not intrusive.
The shower and toilet are a convenient short walk from camp & kept clean. A daily shower was blissful in the heat. We had plenty of firewood to cook with & my partner loved chopping the big logs provided.
The resident dog Simba loves to come and say hi. We enjoyed this mostly, and he played well with our dog. We had to put in a bigger boundary with him when he started eating my dog’s food, & was persistent in asking for games when we were relaxing. He did listen to commands when we became firmer & spent a bit less time with us.
There are only two campsites and this suited us as we were looking for privacy and connection while we were away from our busy lives. One night a group came to camp right next to us in a spot we hadn’t seen as designated for camping. This felt less peaceful and private. I would suggest if you are after privacy, to confirm what spaces will be used.
Overall a really wonderful experience & my dog was relaxed and often off leash. Rod gave information on local swimming holes, which are a short drive away & beautiful. The location is within 30/45mins to towns for experiences and supplies. We had an excellent stay & totally recommend.

It was a grand camp-site with beautiful water views. Very quiet and calm. We had a party of 12 with a caravan, tents and swags, a boat and 2 jetskis with plenty of room to spare. We had our cars beside us. We found out to be a very secure site. Susan and Bernard were very accommodating and approachable. All of the animals were great. The babies were so cute and being able to pat and hold them was. a highlight. We caught some fish from the bank and jagged a big crab that we cooked up for a snack for 12. Firewood and bait was available to purchase and the amenities were well looked after. The young at heart enjoyed the trampoline and the climbing equipment.

Hatch Farm is incredible!! The large and well kept camping sites right on the river make for a beautiful stay with some sites including a shelter for your tent, car or camp chair set up. The friendly hosts Susan and Bernard give you a nice welcome and keep you comfortable during your stay. All the facilities are clean and easily accessible including built-in portaloos, hot showers, outdoor sink, kids playground, trampoline, and kayaks! On there river there is great opportunity for fishing too! Now for the highlight of our stay… the farm! During your stay you can go over to the animal nursery and play with/feed all the adorable farm animals including rabbits, chickens, guinea pigs, ducks, geese, goats, chickens, goats, pigs, and miniature horses! Plus the farm has many friendly dogs roaming around to play with, our favourite being Jack who made himself at home at our camp and loves to play tug-of-war. The hatch farm is only 15 minutes out of Port Macquarie making it an amazing location for a nice getaway in the wilderness but close enough to town in case you forgot your toothbrush! We absolutely loved our stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone, especially those with kids! We will definitely be back soon!
