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.

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.

The Terrace
Best camping in Bellingen
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
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.

Great swimming
Another great stop. This is our second stay and it’s always a nice spot to stay on our way home. Great swimming.
