What a beautiful place!!! We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to go back! Rick and Cheryl’s place is so warm and welcoming, nothing is a bother! The river is clear and beautiful, the hospitality is amazing, feeding the animals was an absolute highlight for our little city kids! It was a struggle to get the kids out of the place! The sites are so big and the is plenty of shade along the river. Toilets were super clean and well Maintained. I honestly could rave about the place for days. Book a stay is my advice!

We absolutely loved camping at Bundilla River Camp. Large grassy sites, the river was the perfect cooling down spot with boogie boards and kayaks available. The kids swings and bikes were an added bonus and we really enjoyed the farm tour. We loved that we could order wood which was delivered straight to the site and the baked goods by Nicole were so delicious!

Me and my partner had a great time camping here. Didn’t have time to do the farm tour, but just setting up metres away from the river was enough. short walk or drive to the river access point, communal kayaks and boogie boards were an amazing touch. River water was a good temperature, a very picturesque creek and some incredible birdlife. Rick and Cheryl were both very friendly and reachable but not overbearing. Thanks for having us!

We loved Trevor's property, it was so clean and tidy and the grounds are extremely well kept. We stayed for 2 nights to explore the Forster and Lakes areas. The stars were also amazing! Tonnes of space for the kids to run around and play. The sites are very spaced out also. Great spot. Trevor checked in on us each day to make sure everything was going ok. We're grateful you offer your property for campers! Thank you for having us.

What an amazing camp site. The sites are large, there are a few powered sites but mostly unpowered. Cheryl and Rick were fantastic hosts. The river is stunning and they provide plenty of kayaks free of charge for you to use. The drop toilets are in impeccable condition. They provide farm tours for the kids to pat and feed animals, and their daughter sells fresh baked treats every afternoon to curb the sweet cravings. The camp site is only 30 minutes from Port Macquarie so very accessible. We will definately be back.

Lolandas land was beautiful from arrival. Clear marking made it easy. Nestled up against hill protected us from weather and the peaceful flowing creek found us every afternoon relaxing after a day trip in the car. We even jagged a few sightings of the resident platypus The cows and bird life were a bonus also

It was such a beautiful and relaxing spot by the river! The farm feeding was a sweet additional experience, as was the opportunity to sample some produce and buy some home made goods. As a first time solo camper Cheryl and Rick I found it a safe and welcoming place, definitely recommend.
