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
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

Bellinger River Camping
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.
