Bellinger River Camping
Lovely spot. Unfortunately it was a wet weekend, the kind where it didn't stop! Pulled the pin early and the hosts offered to let us come back at another time to finish the time for free. Already planning another trip to the area and hoping for some dry weather!

Bellinger River Camping
expansive flat grass camping areas by the river. Some don't have easy river access due to the steep bank however the eastern sites do.
Easy access to Belligne via car or by canoing across the river and walking. Peaceful spot for family campers

I really loved this river side camp spot. The river was beautiful and clean with a bonus rope swing and kayaks. You feel like you are in the wilderness but still have Belligen only a short drive away - or a quick paddle across the river and walk. The only negative was the drop toilet so recommend you byo.

Lovely view however if raining it would be extremely difficult to drag caravan up the hill to exit we left early so as not to get caught. Hosts are lovely.

Would have been nice to have been advised how sodden the camping site was on booking, then being fleeced $97 and being told off by a rude shouting woman for going to the wrong camping spot.

We had the BEST few days. Had a great spot with river access nearby which definitely made a huge difference as I have a 16 month old. The fire pits were epic, despite it getting super busy (was packed over Easter weekend) we were still 40m away on either side from our neighbours. Perfect spot for
Exploring but so beautiful and restful to come back to. Highly recommend.

We had a fabulous stay at this beautiful spot. We would definitely visit again! Highlights were the cows and swims in the Bellinger.

Such a beautiful place and the river was delightful. Hosts were lovely as well. From the comments we knew to bring toilet paper for the drop toilet (there was none) is all I would recommend making sure people are aware of this. Thanks for a great stay!

This was such a wondrously fantastic place! The hosts were such gorgeously kind people and my friend and I felt so safe here! It’s so close to town and the river is so lovely, they even had kayaks you could use which was exciting!

Unfortunately we missed staying at Dom's because the weather caught us out. We are looking forward to staying at the farm when we can. He has been very communicative and thoughtful.

I loved that we could find the spot that suited us on arrival. Dom and partner were very communicative and friendly. The drop toilet was very handy and the river was a treat to take a dip in of a morning. So close to town.

Beautiful spot but very expensive

Bellinger River Camping
No doubt this is a beautiful spot. However, it was hard to not feel ripped off at $97 per night for a camping site with no facilities beyond a drop toilet. Access to the river is tricky, a big drop from the bank to the water. Not accessible. Still, a very lovely outlook, only 10 sites so no chance of crowding, so very well spaced and private. Only beef was the price.

Bellingen river camp was an excellent place to stay for a few days as a base
to see what the local area has to offer . We had a peaceful stay at Dom & Jackie our great hosts. We enjoyed the rural feel with campers spread around the property. Awesome stay and will be back again.

Spent 5 nights at this awesome camp over the new year period and absolutely loved it. Short drive into Bellingen if you need supplies or just for a coffee, you can also swim across the river to the car park of the Old Butter Factory. Dom and Jackie are great hosts and work hard to make you feel welcome. Majority of the campers where well behaved however some people can’t help but try to take advantage of others, and after talking to our hosts they said they have a lot of trouble with people booking a site, which allows for 2 adults and kids, who then turn up and expect to be able to sleep extra guests at no extra charge because they are only taking up one site. You can’t do this in a motel or caravan park so please don’t do it to the camp hosts otherwise fewer and fewer hosts will continue to share their awesome properties with campers. Highly recommend this spot and we will definitely be back again.

Bellinger River Camping
Loved this camp site, The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The river and the big grassy paddock, river swimming was great as was the rope swing. We had adequate privacy, no unwelcome noise from other campers or road noise, and the camping wasn't crowded. We could have had a campfire if we’d had our own fire wood.
We had to provide our own toilet paper for the drop toilet. I’d recommend to the hosts to provide toilet paper and a hand wash station or hand sanitizer outside the toilet - would make things feel a bit more hygienic.
Overall fantastic camping! 😀

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the Bellinger River. We had a great site right on the river and close to toilet facilities, which is handy with children. The river was a lot of fun to swim in and we enjoyed the swing rope and kayaks available. Jackie was super helpful on arrival and checked in daily during our stay. Dom was also easy to communicate with via text and answered any questions we had. It is a short drive to Bellingen which is a beautiful little town and well worth a visit.
