Come camp along the beautiful Wilson River on a working cattle property. Shady, grassy campsites by a flowing river, just 25 minutes drive from Port Macquarie. The camp area includes toilets, a basic camp shed, where campers can make use of the picnic table, stainless steel food preparation bench and camp fire pit. There are only 2 sites available with power which is included in the site price. Check out our discount for single travelers and extras like eggs and firewood. Fresh honey also available sometimes during the year. Toilet block newly built. Early check in and late checkout available on request. Laundry services available on request. If you have 3 or more children please call me for a discount. Also we have a huge discount for single travels. Kids will love the farm tour (4pm to 5pm daily) for the feeding of pigs, chickens, sheep and goats. It's an excellent area for mountain bike riding as well! Kayaks available for free. Don't have a caravan, we have partnered up with Wrighty's Caravan Hire and Repairs. linktr.ee/wrightyscaravans. They offer family caravans delivered, setup ready for you to enjoy. Pets allowed but you must have on lead when walking around the property near cattle. Rules: 1. For the piece and quiet of other campers all check-ins must be before 4.30pm during the colder months. Check ins after 7pm may be turned away in busy times. 2. No Fireworks - this is very unsettling for our livestock 3. 9pm quiet time. 4. No drones in the camping area, for the privacy of other campers 5. Generators are allowed for short period of time but not permitted after 8pm. 6. Dogs on leads when walking around the farm Rick and I thank you for your support in these matters.

What an incredible place to bring the family! We stayed for three nights and were so glad we did. The kids loved visiting the animals and riding their bikes. The swings were also a big hit. The pit toilets were perfect for us since we don't have amenities in our van. It was easy to tow our van to the campsite. Thank you, Rick and Cheryl!

This is our second visit to Bundilla River camp and once again it did not disappoint. This time we visited with friends and enjoyed our time swimming in the river, walking the short trail and saying hello to the cows as they passed our camp each morning. Kids loved the swing and visit to feed the animals. The addition of the pit toilets was a welcome surprise that added to our comfort. We enjoyed our time here so much we have all decided to make it at least an annual event.

Amazing Stay at Bundilla River Camp
42 ft travel trailer · With kids ·
Site 4 - No Power
Bundilla River Camp was the best!! Highly recommend to anyone. We loved it and were lucky enough to have it all to ourselves as we went just after the floods. It was a little wet and muddy but that was perfect for our kids. We had fires each night, watched the stars, woke up to the beautiful cows in the morning, river swims, swings, bike ride's and gorgeous walks. It was so quiet and peaceful. Toilets were clean and it was so handy having a river water tap to use. Rick and Cheryl were great to talk too. We only booked an hour or so before we arrived and it all went smoothly and was easy. We can’t wait to come back!

Great time at Bundilla River Camp

Site 6 - No power
We had a great time camping at Bundilla River Camp. The sites are large and well spread out. It is a beautiful quiet property. The river, although not really visible from the camp sites due to the beautiful forest protecting the river banks, is only a couple of minutes walk away. The river is great for a swim or floating down the rapids on. This is great stop not too far off the Pacific Hwy.

Beautiful drive in to property and lovely location with good amenities. Creek was easy to access and great to swim in. Close proximity to Port Macquarie. We had a lot of rain and were flooded in for half a day, which made the site a little slippery to get out of. Rick and Cheryl were extremely helpful and accomodating though!

Rick and Cheryl's property was great to stay at. The kids loved feeding the animals. The sites are well spaced and there is plenty of room. Easy access to Port Macquarie and the toilet facilities were very clean and well presented. Access is easy, though in the wet accessing the back sites needed 4x4 as it was a little slippery especially towing. Would definitely visit again.

A beautiful place by the river, with grassy green grass to camp on. A pleasant place with a great outlook to the hills with cattle in the paddocks. We stayed in late April at site 20, the only problem we had was the lack on sun as we were camping off grid. We got full sun at around 2.30. If you are camping off grid I would recommend booking sites from number 1. Mind you this would be different in the summer months. Overall Rick was more than accommodating with bringing firewood down and homemade muffins. Thanks Rick and Cathy for a great stay.

Such a great little spot. The hosts were amazing and we loved feeding the animals. They were super accomodating and the Easter cupcakes were an added bonus 😍 the river was a little far with a 2 year old and all our gear but once there it was amazing! Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

This is a beautiful, quiet escape close to fantastic little towns that make wonderful day trips. The camp ground is really tidy and clean and the new toilet block was awesome. Having a powered site was great for our camper trailer but you could easily go without if you are self sufficient or just don't need power. We had a short farm visit before we left which was a highlight for the kids. Highly recommend this hipcamp.

Spacious campsite in picturesque location. Enjoy your evenings around a wood fire! But: 1. Campers need to bring their own water, because the advertised potable water is in fact river water. 2. Recommend the host provides: A. working lights and more toilet paper in the toilets. B. separate hand washing and dish washing facilities.
