What a great place!! Beautiful spaces to explore and enjoy. Camping areas have been cleared and well cared for. The trail to the waterfall is easy to follow and the falls are simply amazing. Well worth a visit. Rod has created a lovely space.

2 nights at Private River Camp

Sensational camping areas that are extremely well maintained. One of the best we’ve been to!

Weekend Trip to Ingenia Holidays South West Rocks

Clearly a professional park, but great to stay at all the same. It is next to “Back Creek” which is a much smaller and nicer setting than the Macleay River (just north) in our opinion. We stayed during a wet period and the site drained fairly well, although we did need to buy some sand pegs for our awning and annex tent. Park is well maintained. Staff were friendly and professional. We had to make an after hours call with a boom gate issue and caretaker was immediately available on phone and super helpful. The little waterslide at the pool provided a lot of amusement to our teenage children lol. Ensuite had lovely hot shower. Read other reviews re theft and yes, can see the potential for that as the park is basically open to the creek frontage and the public boat ramp car park. We were careful to lock our belongings and had no issues. Hot tip - recommend going to the Macleay River District Fisherman’s Co-op (on the road into town) in the mornings for super-fresh seafood.

Your own private waterfall!!! Need I say more. We stayed in the fenced area which was so nice to let the doggo run around. The hike to the waterfall is a bit steep but my goodness it is worth it If your looking for, off grid, peace and serenity give this place a go. However if you have someone over 15f I would probably give it a miss. The roads are very treacherous. We have a 18 f caravan and it was truly a mission

1 night at Peace and Paradise

We had a lovely time at Robyn & Drewe’s place in The Pony Paddock. Of our 5 day trip, this was by far the best evening we had. They were both so helpful, welcoming and accommodating, and the farm itself is so beautiful and utterly peaceful. The facilities were extremely well kept and clean, and that hot shower felt sooo good in the morning!!

What a wonderful place - Drewe & Robyn are great hosts & the location simply spot on. Views are incredible & if lucky with the weather sunrises, sunsets & night skies are simply breath taking. Can’t wait to visit again.

Weekend Trip to Peace and Paradise

I loved our time at peace and paradise! Robyn and Drewe were such lovely hosts and made us feel right at home. They even offered us eggs and homegrown bananas. The amenities are great, and I really appreciated having access to a toilet, shower and kitchen. The views are also beautiful as the property is situated on the crest of the hill. I highly recommend Robyn and Drewe's place if you're looking for somewhere to stay near Scotts Head :)

Weekend Trip to Peace and Paradise

Absolutely loved our stay at Fern Gully! We had 8 campers and four cars and we had the best time. We had our own private section that was walking distance from a dam, surrounded by Avocado trees and still walking distance to the hot shower, bathrooms + camp kitchen. Robyn and Drewe were beyond accommodating, they frequently checked in with us to see if we needed anything, they brought goodies around for Easter and were unbelievably kind and friendly. The surrounds were beautiful and the views from the top of the hill were amazing. The only downside was there were a few mozzies, but Robyn and Drewe mentioned before hand, so we came prepared. Can't wait to come back!

As someone who has stayed in various HipCamps across NSW and QLD, this would have to be one of the most unique. We experienced a beautiful drive to the property and were greeted promptly by Rod who helped us park and settle in nicely. We were encouraged to view the private waterfall (with an infinity pool overlooking the valley)… and wow, this was an absolutely stunning experience. Overall it was peaceful, immersed in nature, with no troubles. Thanks Rod - much appreciated

What a beautiful part of the northern river’s hinterland. Rod’s campsite was nicely mown for our arrival.

Lovely property, stunning waterfall experience at the end of the bush walk! Rod provided a map which was helpful but left us to enjoy the peaceful surrounding. Great stay get ready to unplug and bring your boots and take up the offer of the dinosaur repellent!

We had such a wonderful time here! The property is so beautiful and peaceful and the amenities are great. Robyn and Drewe are so welcoming and helpful, they really go above and beyond. Thank you so much for having us! We already can’t wait to visit again.

The farm was beautiful, the hosts were very professional, and the hot shower was better than my home. This is a far better option than a crowded noisy campground. I would highly recommend this stay.
