11. Elands TereTulemast EXCLUSIVE SITES

98%

(142)

46km from Wauchope · 38 sites · Tents, RVs · Elands, NSW

We are based in the mountains North West of Taree in NSW. Some may decide to visit because of the Famous Ellenborough Falls being on our door step. While others are seeking space, nature, a river side camping spot, a mountain bike focused holiday with the fam, or a cheap group stay right on the river. And others just simply LOVE this area and come back each year, and bring their dog! Guudji Yiigu Nyiirunang - Birpi for Welcome Everyone! while ... Teretulemast is an Estonian name, it means WELCOME. THE HISTORY OF OUR PLACE as we know it: The Biripi people were the original and will always be the landowners of this area. They spent their summers on the mountain, while their winters were beside the coast. We are told, this area was once a women's only area, where they would bath and give birth. We respect those past and present who took care of this land and lived amongst it. This is Biripi country. Sometime after this, some people took over the land, and then offered it to others. Then cut trees down to build with, and put cows on it for over 80 years.. then we were offered it! And here we are today.... US: We LOVE hosting people, as we literally LOVE sharing this place with others. It’s part of who we are, but also a huge part of our bigger picture, in getting people re connected with Nature, so much so, that they want to protect it. Plus it’s so damn pretty here, all year around! You Camp/Hipcamp has been a driving force as to why we have had so many guests find us, and ultimately stay with us (along with some help from our insta #teretulemastelands blogs & workaway/helpx). But if you are wondering why people would visit, I'll do my best to summarise: • 400 metre walk from our RIVER flat to the famous Ellenborough Falls (famous for being the longest consistent drop in the southern hemisphere - hows that for on the map?) • All sites have access to the river with a short walk, or a tiny walk. Most are sitting on the famous Ellenborough River. • The Penthouse spot of sites is our River Flat. With it's hot shower, 2 composting toilets (still fully off grid), outdoor bbq/kitchen, gas & combustion stove & bar in shed (with solar lighting & fridge). PLUS A MTB PUMP TRACK! ALL PART of what you get when you book it! • The Ellenborough river is gorgeous & fresh, so paddling, floating, swimming, drinking and generally lounging around in it, is welcomed! And the locals often hang out together at the falls (where there are even deeper water holes) and the local made famous The Rapids (8 min drive away). *we will show you once you get here! bYO drinks and floaties! • ALL sites can accommodate reasonably large groups, SERENITY and RIVER FLAT can cater to around 100 OR more if you wanted them to. 2 composting toilets on these sites. (so toilets will be the main limiting factor for a super large group). • We book out each site ‘exclusively’, so only you, your mates and family will be sleeping next to each other. Which is why we have a min rate, versus a per person rate. And why most sites include from 8 people up to 15 people within their min rate. Pretty awesome deal when you divide by that! • Many sites are 4x4 caravan friendly (need good approach and departure angles), and yes, you don’t need to reverse them in, you drive them through making them easy to stop, enjoy your space and get out again! • Local sites are a plenty, whether that is go for a walk to see the falls, OR it’s a rainy day and you take a 45 min trek deeper into the Gondwana belt, where the big trees live, the turquoise water begins, and the Koalas, and Greater Gliders still live (so long as we can keep those pesky loggers away). • Most of our sites have had their roads upgraded, but some like Between the Trees can be a little more ‘4x4’ only. So always ask us if unsure. • YES we allow you to bring your furry friends! 😊. (aka dog friendly stay) • YES we are perfect for the newbie Mountain Biker or those who like a speedy downhill (blue rated), as we also have a Flow Trail AND a pump track available (great for groms and codjers). NOTE: the pump track is only for those who book the River flat at this stage. Unless you're good at making friends with those staying there, bring a beer maybe.. and you can ask them if you can ride it? • Fire pits on most sites • FARM mornings are FREE – just ask us when you arrive! 😊. (cows, sometimes we are milking, goats, baby animals, chickens, a mini mule (Olaf), pigs & we have 4 can be noisy dogs upon arrival). Love some kids to help or just to pat a baby goat! • Need fire wood, or eggs, we sell so just ask. 😊. • Don’t have camping gear, well lucky you! We hire it already setup, so all you have to do is turn up and move in! Ask us for more information if this interests you. We want everyone to experience nature, and for most sites, you will go to sleep with the noise of the river passing you... most serene way to fall asleep EVA. If you want to know more, go and click on the different sites, and enjoy the many photos! 😊. Looking forward to hearing from you, or check us out on #teretulemastelands Lucas White

2 nights at Hamiltons Hideaway

We had a great couple of nights with our dogs. Communication was great and Jaimie and Greg met us as we rolled in. The sites are massive, well maintained and organised, each with a fire pit and seating. The sites are right on the creek with a mown walkway going to the edge of the property, great for walking the dogs. The only noise around was the wildlife. Very peaceful.

Weekend Trip to Bundilla River Camp

We had such an awesome stay at Bundilla River! Rick and Cheryl are absolute legends — so friendly and welcoming. The kids loved feeding the animals and checking out the veggie patch. The camp itself is super quiet and so pretty, with heaps of space. The river is amazing and perfect for a swim.

Rick and Cheryl were wonderful hosts! Their property is beautifully maintained, peaceful, spacious and conveniently located just a short drive from Port Macquarie. The river is a fantastic spot to relax, fish, and swim, perfect for a quiet getaway. Highly recommend!

2 nights at Bundilla River Camp

The road in told us this place was going to be good. Sites were lush green with trees that murmur in the wind and a river that gurgles as it goes thru the property. To poetic for you, well just think areas where the kids can play bare foot, toilets are super clean and hosts drop by for a chat to see if you need wood or fresh eggs.. We had a perfect spot with plenty of room. Dogs enjoyed a paddle and lying on soft grass. We liked. It so much we stayed an extra two days and would recommend it to anyone that wants a relaxed environment. Oh and did I forget they feed the animals in the afternoons, sheep, goats, ducks and I hear a baby donkey will be arriving soon.

Weekend Trip to Bundilla River Camp

We stayed at Site 2, which is a powered site. It was spacious and serene. Loved being able to have a campfire all throughout the stay. We all had a great time in the river, swimming, kayaking and just relaxing. Cheryl went out of her way to set up a Christmas are for the kids with some farm animals. Overall a great stay and definitely recommended.

2 nights at Phoranna Farm

We loved our brief stay at Akaroa (Phoranna farm) - there's SO much space, complete privacy and you feel like you are the only one in the forest. So cool to wake up to nothing but the sound of birds and wildlife. Plus there's a wonderful bush toilet, water on tap and a great campfire set up, just a shame there was a total fireban and we couldn't take advantage of it. But we will definitely be back again in the future. It's not the cheapest Hipcamp site, but what you are getting - your own private campsite in the forest - is worth every penny in our opinion. The only thing you do need to know is that if you have a large caravan/rig over about 21 foot then you'll need to access the entrance off the main road from the south, as it's too tight a turn from the north. And there's another tight/sharp turn into the property gate, so keep left and swing wide and you'll be fine. Enjoy!!

Had a wonderful 4 nights at Rick and Cheryl’s Hipcamp. Definitely put this one on your list. They were amazing hosts, delivered firewood and fresh eggs to us that you can order. The creek was awesome, toilet’s immaculate ( I was a little afraid to go knowing they were drop toilets, and oh boy, wasn’t I pleasantly surprised) They have bikes, kayaks, pizza oven, campfire pits all available for guests to use. Our son loved the animal feeding in the afternoon. This place is a little gem and the price wow!!! We will definitely be coming back. Thanks so much for having us 😊

Stayed at Doraville and couldn’t be happier. Easy access, level ground, and plenty of space to set up. The property is peaceful and private, with country views and a really calm atmosphere. The host was fantastic, friendly, responsive, and made everything super straightforward. Highly recommend for anyone travelling through.

Weekend Trip to Bundilla River Camp

Bundilla River Camp. What a spot, lush green grass along the side of the river. Our site was huge, campfires 🔥 allowed and 🐶 too. The walk to the one end of the river is through the bush full of stags and elks, some of them would be more than a metre across. Such a beautiful walk. Each afternoon they allow you to go up to the house to feed their animals, sheep, goats, horse, rabbits, geese, chooks, they have it all. A lovely full veggie patch too. They also have bikes, canoes and paddles boards so you can relax in the river when ever you like and the use is included in your stay cost. Firewood can be supplied at a small cost and there are toilets too .. check which sites have loos or you can be self sufficient all the way down the end of the grass like we did This camp is about 25 mins from Port Macquarie where you can get basically anything. Thank you Cheryl & Rick for having us, you will definitely see us again

This was a beautiful camping spot. We stayed in the uncovered grass sites which overlooked the dam which had plenty of room. The kids had so much fun in the aquapark.

Loved this campsite it was clean and tidy, the swimming was wonderful if you wanted something deeper we just followed the walking trail down which was sign posted. Rick and Cheryls information was super informative and made finding the place super easy, would stay again :)
