If you want to avoid the crowds our property is only 10 minutes drive to great local surf and fishing beaches at Crescent Head. There is an abundance of bird life, the odd kangaroos and wallabies, and other wildlife. There is a melaleuca forest that children are welcome to play in and build a cubby house, and 2 pretty little dams to catch yabbies, and for dogs to enjoy a swim.
The property where camping is provided is approx 20 acres with a limit of 10 groups so you can find your own little piece of paradise.
There is plenty of fire wood for you to collect on the property on your way in. Please help yourself to any fallen timber for firewood but please do not cut any standing trees down. When checking out, ensure you properly extinguish fires and return any unused firewood to the bush.
Dogs are welcome to be here off leash as long as they are well socialised and reasonably obedient. There is large areas for them to run freely and dams to swim in.
It is accessible via a 2WD dirt road, even with a little wet weather. If rainfall is extreme we recommend 4wd's.
The property is completely off grid so we have a 'leave it as you found it' approach. This means you will need a camp toilet, and to take all of your rubbish with you. We are a rural property so do not have rubbish collection services. (Fees apply for any left behind rubbish).
Happy camping!

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.

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

Oxley Riverside Camp is such a special spot. We feel so grateful to have been able to spend the weekend here. The water is absolutely beautiful, the setting feels private and peaceful, and we loved that there are only a few camping spots so it never feels crowded. It’s the perfect place to switch off, reset and soak up nature. We already can’t wait to come back!

We made a last minute 2 nite booking at Pear Tree Farm as part of a road trip that we had no idea where or when we were going to be in places...
We wanted to explore South West Rocks, Hat Head and Crescent Head.
Easy booking and quick response saw us camped in a large open paddock with numerous large Eucalyptus spread throughout to find some afternoon shade. Other camper were there, some came in and some left with plenty of space between. After visiting Hat Head first and seeing the town camp grounds packed solid with people and cars crammed in we were grateful for our own space. 10 minutes to Crescent Head, 35 minutes to Hat Head and I think about 45 minutes to South West Rocks. Easy drives. We ended up staying an extra night.

Secluded beautiful peaceful spot. We had our Toyota hiace van at Site 5, perfect shady spot under a tree with a great view. Great swimming spot for kids, handy if you bring wetsuit shoes for kids in water, kayak, body board, or floaty device. Looking forward to returning one day
