Little Plain Hall grounds - a small rural hall and grounds celebrating their 100th year in 2023 and adjacent to the Ellenborough River with a number of bush campsites available. (If you are after more than a nice piece of grass and a flushing toilet then this property maybe isn't for you!) All sites are reached via dirt tracks that can be rough and slippery. Sites 1 and 2 are adjacent to each other behind the hall and closest to the toilet and the most accessible-more suited to caravans and those without 4 wheel drives. Sites 3, 4 and 5 are adjacent to each other on the banks of the river. Site 6 is separate from the others on the bank of Little Plain Creek but furthest from the toilet. PLEASE NOTE: Access to the river at sites 3, 4 and 5 - the banks are steep and though we have a narrow track down it is slippery. There is access to the river at other spots on the property. This open grassed area of 6 acres is 5 kms further on from the Ellenborough Falls turnoff. (We are not near Ellenborough village but in Elands- this is a somewhat common error when people look us up.)
We are a community-run non-profit facility available to campers. All funds raised are used to improve the grounds and hall.
Directions to find us:
From the Pacific Highway either from Port Macquarie or Taree:
Following the Brown tourist signs to Ellenborough Falls turn off/ continue straight ahead on Glenwarrin Road (don't turn into the falls). You will cross over 2 bridges. After the second bridge we are the next property on the right.
Larger rigs are not advised. because of the winding dirt roads to get to our village.
One toilet available and limited tank water - please BYO water and be water wise with the tank water at the hall. Well behaved pets are welcome.
Hall available for hire - please send an enquiry.

46km from Wauchope · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
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

Welcome to Ridgeline Camping
Escape to 106 acres of elevated countryside with sweeping coastal and hinterland views. Just minutes off the Pacific Highway, Ridgeline is the perfect stopover without the detour — ideal for large caravans, motorhomes and touring setups, and equally suited to 4WD adventurers, rooftop campers and tents seeking space and privacy.
Wake to sunrises with kangaroos or cattle grazing nearby, and end your day with golden sunsets and star-filled skies.
Ridgeline is a genuine working cattle farm offering rolling grazing country, pockets of native bushland and the relaxed rhythm of rural life. Explore grassy hills and natural bush corridors home to native birds and wildlife. Whether you prefer an open site or a more private pocket, there’s room to spread out and enjoy the property your way.
You may notice livestock nearby and the occasional cow pat underfoot. During drier seasons, paddocks may not always be perfectly manicured — our cattle are our priority. What you’ll experience is authentic country Australia: space, simplicity and fresh air.
Feeling adventurous? Walk “Big Hill” for incredible 360° views at sunrise or sunset.

Little Plain Hall grounds - a small rural hall and grounds celebrating their 100th year in 2023 and adjacent to the Ellenborough River with a number of bush campsites available. (If you are after more than a nice piece of grass and a flushing toilet then this property maybe isn't for you!) All sites are reached via dirt tracks that can be rough and slippery. Sites 1 and 2 are adjacent to each other behind the hall and closest to the toilet and the most accessible-more suited to caravans and those without 4 wheel drives. Sites 3, 4 and 5 are adjacent to each other on the banks of the river. Site 6 is separate from the others on the bank of Little Plain Creek but furthest from the toilet. PLEASE NOTE: Access to the river at sites 3, 4 and 5 - the banks are steep and though we have a narrow track down it is slippery. There is access to the river at other spots on the property. This open grassed area of 6 acres is 5 kms further on from the Ellenborough Falls turnoff. (We are not near Ellenborough village but in Elands- this is a somewhat common error when people look us up.)
We are a community-run non-profit facility available to campers. All funds raised are used to improve the grounds and hall.
Directions to find us:
From the Pacific Highway either from Port Macquarie or Taree:
Following the Brown tourist signs to Ellenborough Falls turn off/ continue straight ahead on Glenwarrin Road (don't turn into the falls). You will cross over 2 bridges. After the second bridge we are the next property on the right.
Larger rigs are not advised. because of the winding dirt roads to get to our village.
One toilet available and limited tank water - please BYO water and be water wise with the tank water at the hall. Well behaved pets are welcome.
Hall available for hire - please send an enquiry.

46km from Wauchope · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
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

Welcome to Ridgeline Camping
Escape to 106 acres of elevated countryside with sweeping coastal and hinterland views. Just minutes off the Pacific Highway, Ridgeline is the perfect stopover without the detour — ideal for large caravans, motorhomes and touring setups, and equally suited to 4WD adventurers, rooftop campers and tents seeking space and privacy.
Wake to sunrises with kangaroos or cattle grazing nearby, and end your day with golden sunsets and star-filled skies.
Ridgeline is a genuine working cattle farm offering rolling grazing country, pockets of native bushland and the relaxed rhythm of rural life. Explore grassy hills and natural bush corridors home to native birds and wildlife. Whether you prefer an open site or a more private pocket, there’s room to spread out and enjoy the property your way.
You may notice livestock nearby and the occasional cow pat underfoot. During drier seasons, paddocks may not always be perfectly manicured — our cattle are our priority. What you’ll experience is authentic country Australia: space, simplicity and fresh air.
Feeling adventurous? Walk “Big Hill” for incredible 360° views at sunrise or sunset.

Lovely location and very well kept grounds.
Management are available and unintrusive.
A short stroll through the bush to the river which is suitable for bathing.
I hope to be back!

This Hicamp was one to remember. It had everything you needed plus more.
The hosts were super helpful and happy. The River was amazing for a swim and fun for the kids. There was multiple bikes, kayaks, boogie boards for us to use. The playground was an absolute hit for our littlest.
The farm animal feeding was great for the kids, they loved all the animals.
I loved there was options for unpowerd and powered sites.
The drive in was easy access, could have been signed alittle bit better for ease of mind but an absolute mint place.
We will definitely be back.

We loved camping at Bundilla, we have been on site 1 twice now and can’t wait to come back! It’s a perfect site to be powered and still able to see the kids on the swingsets and slides. The kids absolutely loved the farm feeding aswell and seeing all the animals!

Rick and Cheryl went above and beyond to make our stay peaceful and playful. Their communication prior and during our stay was excellent.
This was a working getaway for us. So we could work during the day then enjoy a swim in the afternoon followed by a quiet evening with a glass of wine.
We explored the area beyond the electric fence to find a lovely spot by the river. This area was shallow and great for sitting in flowing water on a hot day.
The grass is soft under bare feet, I don’t know how they maintain such beautiful lawns. The toilets are clean and well kept.
We will definitely be back.

Our stay was absolutely magic! We stayed at campsite 1 overlooking the river and rolling hills. It was so calm and peaceful, we were there with kids and the whole family and we all had an incredible time. From enjoying the fresh river water to sitting around the fire at night, and listening to all the wildlife we will absolutely be back!!
Bruce was amazing, came down to see us on one afternoon, super friendly was great to have a chat with him. He has put in so much work on the campsites and they are all incredible, with great toilet facilities- best camp toilet I haev ever been too. We originally booked for site two, but fell in love with site 1 when we arrived, and Bruce had no issues with us moving to that site. We will be back!

Great location to visit the nearby falls. Toilet was outside the hall. Sites 1&2 are open but far enough away from each other for privacy. Sites 3,4 and 5 are down a grassy slope hidden in the trees. Site 6 was very overgrown and would take great care to access over a very old bridge. Bellbirds are very vocal in the backdrop of tall trees. Would recommend if visiting the area

It’s very obvious the Hosts have put a lot of work into making this HipCamp site the best it can be. From immaculate long drop loos to playground for the kids and access to the River.
Eggs & Firewood if needed, not much more you could wish for.
Quiet night with the sound of the River in the background.
5 Star ⭐️
