Nestled along a picturesque 1-km stretch of the Bellinger River, our camping grounds offer level, grassy sites with open spaces perfect for relaxing and reconnecting with nature. Just a short walk into town, you’ll find a charming milk bar serving fresh fish and chips only 700 meters down the road, or for the adventurous, swim across the river for breakfast or lunch at the iconic Old Butter Factory Cafe. Enjoy complimentary on-site kayaking, fishing right from your camp, and a chance to spot the elusive platypus! A new fence keeps the cows out, so you can relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Facilities include a pit toilet. We welcome pets and families, with free entry for children. Only one vehicle per booking is allowed, though we can easily accommodate group bookings on a single site—just email us to arrange. Caravan hire is also available for added convenience.

Bellinger River Camping
Camping with cows & river swimming
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.

Beautiful location thats very close to the Bellingen town. The camp grounds were large, clean grassy sites and very well maintained. The river is great to swim in and the kids had a ball on the kayaks and rope swing

Ruhige Lage zwischen Fluss und Kuhwiese. Unkomplizierter Check In. Wir haben zur Begrüßung eine Gurke geschenkt bekommen und hatten so gleich noch ein Extra zum Abendessen. Würden jederzeit wiederkommen :)

Fabulous River Camping
Had a beautiful week on the river here, Dom and Jackie were a delight and the free cucumber was delicious. Could not recommend this more highly.. Loved the fact that Jacqui spaced all the campers out so nobody was on top of each other. Had a great spot right at the end away from everybody.
