Great location and accommodation. The only minor comment would be that the beach is off limits to dogs even though the accommodation is.

What a beautiful spot! So tranquil and peaceful! Listening to the birds and the occasional rooster was a treat. It was nice seeing the cows and a couple of calfs as we drove in. The sites are nice and spacious and Brent was really helpful.

2 nights at Tweed Valley Farmhouse Cheeses

Just spent a couple of days at Suzanne and Paul's farm. Cows on 200 acres The camp area is quite small. That said perfect with fantastic coffee and cafe on site and super clean toilet facilities all to ourselves. Owners and their staff working in the cafe were super friendly and very easy going. Decent pub just down the road and Pottsville 10 mins by car. Northern rivers rail track is a stone throw away.

We stayed for three nights and can highly recommend camping here. Rob and Suzanne couldn't be more welcoming. You have to try the cheeses make on the premises, we didn't find a bad one. So good... Easy access to the rail trail and a great spot to camp up for a base than explore this beautiful region.

Amazing farm/camp spot to come and relax and windy down from the busy city hustle and bustle. Central to so many quirky little towns to explore if you want to or just chillax at the camp and enjoy the brids and nature. 10/¹⁰ for everything Brent and Nikki ♥️

Weekend Trip to Tweed Valley Farmhouse Cheeses

So beautiful! We did a one night stop and it was lovely to be camped up right next to the cows and look out over the greenery. Plus the delicious cheese platter topped it off. No showers or anything but toilets were clean. Can hear some road noise but it didn’t bother us at all.
