This was a beautiful secluded campsite with nice facilities. The river was great to cool off in and we were lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves, except for the neighbouring cows. We will definitely be making this a regular stay.

We absolutely loved our time at the farm... The limited number of sites is perfect so you can spread out. The dogs loved. 🐾 Des, Rod and Wendy truly make the experience it was so lovely talking to them and finding out all about the history of the property. The nearby swimming spots are pristine and great for a cool down. The amenities were clean and well maintained. We highly recommend the farm. Ps. If you can get your hands on some of Des's organic beetroot hummus made on site it is to die for. ❤️

Such a great spot to camp, best we have found near Newcastle! So much to do here with the farm animals, pool area, spa, trampoline, creek, there is an awesome bar and living area with a pool table and an outdoor entertaining area. The owners have done an incredible job with the setup here. Dog friendly and the owners and all the other campers were so lovely. Awesome experience will definitely recommend and be back!

We camped with friends on site 4, we didn't know the composting toilets had been moved up top near site 3 & 4,bit of a walk for those camping at the bottom near river. Beautiful spot,stunning sunsets. 5 min walk to river, the boys kayak and had bit of a fish - some bites. Not far to Comboyne for day drive or 4wd through state forests. Very scenic and Bruce was lovely to chat to.

We all enjoyed caravan and tent camping on the farm. We could hear cows across the river. The site is dog friendly as long as they are restrained. Great composting toilets. Lots of great drives and owns to discover. We kayaked up the river and had some fun on small rapids. Great for a cool off after a big day. Thank you for hosting us! A long weekend we will not forget.

Absolutely beautiful location and hosts! Amenities were clean (only a short walk to the campsite), firewood was provided and everyone was so lovely! The hosts were very generous with their time- they invited us to see and learn about the garden and were always open for a chat. Wendy was gorgeous and Rod too. They let us know the local swimming spots and trail walks so there was plenty to do and see. The resident dog was sweet and our dogs had a great time socialising off the lead. We’ll be back for sure!! Thank you for sharing your pocket of paradise 🤍

My sister and I spent 4 idyllic days @ Oxley Riverside. It's all been said before such a great effort by charming host Bruce needs to be acknowledged. The campsites are private, very scenic and well maintained with plenty of flat ground on all sites. The evening skies are simply wonderful and the bird life an absolute delight. The ladies & gents toilets are next level for a camping ground. Bruce was so very helpful. We loved our stay and it was a highlight of our road trip. The area is very picturesque with mountains and the Hastings River running through the valley. Hope to return in autumn.
