Welcome to the Blue Lagoon, our very own piece of paradise, we cannot wait to share with you. Situated on over 100 acres in Upper Orara, just 20 minutes west of Coffs Harbour. The beauty of this place is that it's a private campsite, this stunning waterhole is all yours to enjoy, with only one booking taken at a time. (Note: The booking is for 2 people for the entire site- then a small extra charge for additional guests) This magical waterhole has crystal clear spring-fed water, where you’ll be able to enjoy spotting fish, turtles, and a platypus along with stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, bird watching, bushwalking, and simply relaxing. IMPORTANT: The camp is for self-contained campers only. You MUST have your own toilet, water and take all waste with you when you go. This is non-negotiable. The nearest dump point is in Coffs Harbour. PLEASE NOTE: The property lies on river frontage and is subject to flooding in heavy rain. Please check in with us 3 days prior to arrival to confirm conditions. In the case of flooding, a full refund will be issued, or an alternate campsite on higher ground may be available. The photos display pristine blue waters, which is what is so magical about this place. However after heavy rain, the water colour can change in appearance. Campfires are permitted in the designated fire ring, when local restrictions are not in place. FIREWOOD is available to purchase. (IF you are coming from QLD, we ask that you don't bring any firewood onto the property due to the fire any situation) BBQ LAMB packages are also available to purchase. Please note - We are not a commercial campground.

HIDING IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYWHERE! Pure. Unadulterated. WILD. 104 very private acres, securely sandwiched between a National Park Nature Reserve and State Forest. On a dead end road. No agriculture or farms upstream, only one other like-minded property owner. Secluded, but hiding smack bang in the middle of everywhere! From vertiginous sandstone cliffs on which epipetrics cling tight, right through to palm-filled rainforests, and with two quite different creek systems (including a monster waterfall), you'll be spoiled for things to do and places to explore - without even leaving the property! HISTORY This land is Gumbaynggirr land. Please be particularly mindful of our First Nation's long presence on this land. In the 1800's, white men came seeking Red Cedar, closely followed by settlers having a go at dairying; though logging has remained this area's mainstay. This special property, despite last being selectively logged about 50 years ago, hosts many huge old-growth trees remaining steadfast for your discovery and wonder. And many more are continuing to grow out too. About 35 years ago about nine of this property's eastern-most 104 acres became part of a far larger nashi pear orchard which filled much of the flats of this top end of the valley that you see today. Ultimately they failed to set good commercial fruit, and the rootstocks took over. You can see remnant rows of these trees just south of the property, from along the road. (Beware though - they have spikes that could puncture Caterpillar tracks!) MORE RECENTLY extensive lantana control efforts have been undertaken as we now move into revegetating with native species and implementing a permaculture plan. Today the property is registered with Land For Wildlife and hosts a very wide mix of native vegetation communities. ACTIVITIES Bird watch. Climb. Abseil. Photograph wildflowers. Paint. Swim. In the next valley there's even gold to be found. Explore trails by mountain bike. Whale watch. Surf. Learn SCUBA. Go beach-combing. Catch a mudcrab. Go whitewater river rafting. Ask your host about where to find all the local waterfalls, the best walking, how to find gold, the gnarliest off-road tracks, Anything is possible here in this magnificent part of the world, except perhaps snow and ice.

1 night at Oasis of Hope

Oasis of Hope is a great little site up the rain forest above Coffs Harbour and was a treat to find. Excellent, very clean shower and toilet facilities and a large communal BBQ area. I was concerned about the 10 volt power supply but Lars was very quick to provide me with an adaptor. A very peaceful spot so I slept soundly! If you want to stay off grid in fabulous surroundings, this is the place.

Weekend Trip to Waterfalls & More

My girlfriend and I had such a beautiful weekend away at this Hipcamp. It truly felt like our own private sanctuary. The highlight was the secluded waterfall and champagne pool; absolutely stunning and such a special place to swim, relax, and take in the surroundings. Having something so magical just a short walk from camp made the stay unforgettable. The campsite itself was well maintained, spacious, and thoughtfully cared for, offering the perfect balance between comfort and immersion in nature. Rob was a fantastic host, welcoming, helpful, and generous with firewood. He also provided a clear map to the waterfall, which made exploring easy and enjoyable. The peace and quiet were exactly what we needed. Falling asleep to birdsong, insects, and the gentle sound of the breeze flowing through the trees was the perfect soundtrack to unwind. We left feeling refreshed and grateful. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a peaceful, nature-filled escape.

Weekend Trip to Riverlea Green, Nambucca Valley

This is a really lovely place to unwind and enjoy a beautiful setting right by the river’s edge. There is a huge grassy area in which to choose your camping spot, and a small beach to swim from or launch a kayak. The track from the road is bit bumpy but perfectly passable. If you enjoy getting away from busy caravan parks and are looking for a restful place to stay, then we can’t recommend this place highly enough

Richard is an amazing human who welcomes all to share his beautiful property. I wanted time out, relax, unwind, peace & tranquillity. That's exactly what i got. The skies at night where not hindered by light pollution, the silence was not broken by traffic noise. Richard is a wonderful soul that loves to share not only his home but stories of a remarkable life. Also extremely respectful of your space and time. I highly recommend Richards property to anyone, with any type of camping style. My stay was cut short unfortunately but I will be returning.

What an absolutely special spot. Not only are you close to a Lovely beach and small town but the camping area is just beautiful. Adam advised us where to park, spot on as the weather was starting to get very wet! We went for a short around the area, amazing lake covered in lily pads. Loads of kangaroos! We could only do one night but will definitely stop here on our way back south later in the year! And with Hipcamp’s prices going through the roof, it was reassuring to find somewhere that hadn’t doubled in price over the last 2 years.

An absolutely beautiful spot! I would highly recommend this camping spot! Incredible views and immaculate property. We only stayed one night but could easily have stayed longer. Angela the host was very communicative and any absolute pleasure to chat to. 10/10

2 nights at Frog Hollow Rainforest Camping

We really enjoyed our stay and loved the facilities and the added extras like the canoe and inner tubes. Unfortunately during our stay it was very noisy throughout the night with logging tricks going past regularly and because they all slow down using the engine brakes before they go over the bridge it made it hard to get a good night sleep. Next time we will bring ear plugs.

Site 6 - River views and private access to water with wind protection. Our largest site by sqm

Campsites were well spread out, couldn’t hear other campers. Overall area was very quiet and facilities were clean. Gregg introduced himself and provided information about local area, then left us to our camp. Would happily stay again.
