Our second visit to The Hut didn’t disappoint. If you want your own secluded piece of the upper Clarence without the crowds and you’d like some creature comforts - this is your place. Jess has the Hut set up so you can just roll in and start to relax and watch that amazing view. The river also fished the best we’ve seen it with a 40+cm Bass caught almost directly under the hut!

We had such a great time at Yapunyah Park Cottage! Sally and Steve were so welcoming and made us feel like part of the family from the moment we arrived. The cabin was super cozy, and warm everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We loved playing with their two dogs, Lily and Chaos, who were both very friendly and affectionate. It was also great fun to feed the horses who were also incredibly friendly and gentle. Overall, it was the perfect escape, and we couldn’t have asked for better hosts or a nicer place to stay. Highly recommend! Thank you, Sally and Steve!

3 nights at ‘The Hut’ on the Clarence (4WD)

The views are to die for and the hospitality is warm and welcoming. Jess is a fantastic host who has thought of everything and more to make your stay exceptional. The hut is corralled in a cattle free zone of its own, with plenty of space for a group to swag/camp in additional to the hut + donga if you prefer to sleep under the stars. Our kelpies had plenty of space for a morning run and a dip in the dam. We navigated access with our 4wd and Offroad camper trailer with no problem at all, although a 2wd especially if towing would not make it due to the uphill sections of the track. Great way to spend Xmas with rivers and national parks all around there's plenty of opportunities to explore.

Where to go

Yuraygir National Park

Yuraygir National Park has a little bit of everything, including an abundant mix of rocky headlands, pristine beaches, peaceful lakes, dense forests, and heathland. The park boasts the longest stretch of untouched, undeveloped coast in New South Wales, making it a prime destination for beach camping, fishing, swimming, and even whale watching from May to September. Beachside camping in the park also offers access to firepits, potable water, and BBQ grills. Tent campers can also stay in forest greenery at campsites with flushing toilets, showers, and trash bins.

Bundjalung National Park

North of Wooli, a unique combination of beach, river, and freshwater lagoons await in Bundjalung National Park. Water lovers can canoe and kayak along Jerusalem Creek and Evan River or snorkel through shallow reefs, while hikers traverse Macaulay's Lead and Serendipity fire trails. Along with beachside camping, local lodging and cabin rentals provide comforts like heating, fully-equipped kitchens, and clean, comfortable sheets. At night, campers can gather around the campfire and listen to a local Bundjalung guide tell stories of their culture, heritage, and connections to the land.

Ulidarra National Park

South of Wooli lies Ulidarra National Park, where campers will find beautiful rainforests and old eucalypt forests amidst an ocean breeze. An ideal destination for birdwatching, the park is home to diverse avian species, including wompoo fruit doves and masked owls. Hiking and 4WD trails allow for journeys over rugged terrain to incredible views and peaceful picnic spots. Set up at night at tent and caravan campgrounds in the area with flush toilets, showers, potable water, and firepits.

When to go

Campers visiting Wooli in summer for water activities may want to plan for January, which tends to be the hottest month around 27°C. However, the area is relatively temperate year-round. July is the coldest month of the year with an average high of 13°C. Winter also tends to come with much lower humidity levels. May to November is particularly ideal for whale-watching opportunities just offshore. Or visit from October to April for fresh oysters from the pristine rivers.
