Welcome to Archerview Farmstay – Wild River Camp, a peaceful escape set on 550 acres of countryside where the wild river winds past open paddocks and native bushland. Whether you’re pitching a tent, parking your caravan, or staying in the bush camp lodging, you’ll be surrounded by nature with riverfront views, forested tracks, and wide open skies. The property offers spacious camping and lodging options suitable for solo travellers, couples, families, and small groups. It’s just a short walk to the river, making it easy to enjoy swimming, paddle boarding, or simply relaxing by the water. You’ll find on-site water taps, river-water access, fire pits for cozy evenings, and shared showers and toilets depending on your chosen site. Bushwalking and mountain-biking tracks spread across the farm, giving you plenty of room to explore between dips in the river or time spent unwinding by your campfire. Pets are welcome, though they must be leashed due to livestock and poultry on the property. Archerview Farmstay offers the perfect mix of quiet seclusion and outdoor adventure. Wake up to birdsong by the river, spend your days swimming or wandering the bush tracks, and end your evenings beneath a wide, starry sky. It’s a relaxed countryside getaway ideal for anyone wanting space, nature, and a slower pace. If you’re searching for riverside camping with comfort, open spaces to spread out, and a laid-back, nature-first atmosphere, Wild River Camp is the perfect place to escape and reset.
