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. Check in time is strictly prior to 7pm. Firewood and Eggs can be purchased on arrival. 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 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. Kids will love the farm tour (4.30pm to 5.30pm daily) for the feeding of chickens, ducks, bunny rabbits, horse, donkeys, 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. Note a maximum of 2 dogs per camp site. 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 - Limit of 2 dogs per camp site. Rick and I thank you for your support in these matters.

We absolutely loved coming out to Bundilla River Camp. It was a beautiful location on the river, well maintained spaces with great amenities (the stickers on the toilet are hilarious), heaps of extras for the kids and adults to keep busy (the kayaks were lots of fun) and enough space for privacy. Cheryl is a cracker, and the farm tour was 110% worth it. The goat wearing the Mexican man was the highlight. Can’t wait to come back soon.

We had an amazing time staying at bundilla. We booked size 1 with power and from the moment we drove in and saw the camp grounds we were hyped. The grounds are so beautifully kept and very spacious. The farm tour is an absolute must! We went twice whilst on our trip and our kids fell in love with all the animals Cheryl was an amazing host and made us all feel very welcome. It was the best place for our little family we created so many memories and kyaking something none of us had ever done was a blast! We also got to bring our fur baby along with us and I think he even had an amazing time. Thankyou so much Rick & Cheryl we had the best time and will definitely be back soon!

Writing We had such a great stay here and will definitely be back. The property has heaps of space, so you’re not on top of other campers, and the grass is lush, green, and really well looked after — perfect for setting up and letting the kids run around. The swimming hole was a standout. Super clean, refreshing, and an awesome spot to cool off during the day. The two pit toilets were also a pleasant surprise — both were clean, well maintained, and clearly looked after regularly. What really made the stay though were the hosts. They go above and beyond, delivering firewood straight to your site and even offering fresh eggs, which was a great touch. You can tell they genuinely care about the experience. The kids absolutely loved it too — feeding the animals each day was a highlight and something they’re still talking about. All up, a really relaxed, family-friendly spot with great hosts and everything you need for a quality camping trip.

I booked sites 8 and 7 for Easter long weekend and Bundilla is a great place to relax as it is close to home and easy to get to. Thanks to all Cheryl’s hard work the property is kept beautiful and the drop toilets are kept cleaned daily. The friendliness of Cheryl and her daughter (who cooks fresh baked biscuits) is a real bonus along with fresh eggs available for purchase. This is my 2nd camp here and certainly won’t be my last. Keep up the excellent work!!

What a great spot. With eggs delivered as well!! We just stayed the one night on beautiful grass. Water was available to fill the van. Great spot for swim in the creek. Fire pit. Quiet. Although there was only a couple of other vans spread out. Would stay again.

Such an awesome spot! Beautiful grass to calp on and the river was amazing. It wasn't too deep, so perfect for little kids to play in. We took our blow up rings and went down the little rapids as well which was a lot of fun. The use of the kayaks and bodyboards were a plus too. We have kids and they had the best time running around, playing amongst the trees and playsets, and we could actually relax while they played safely. The animal feeding was a lot of fun for kids (and big kids), and Cheryl was a great host. We can't wait to come back

Our stay was nothing short of perfect! There was so much for the kids to do, they really put so much thought into being family friendly. The lawns were level and beautifully maintained, the firewood was so cheap and burned wonderfully, the river was crystal clear and the toilets were so clean. We loved every second and can’t wait to visit again.

Bundilla River Camp was fabulous. 5 nights didn’t seem enough. Toilets were clean and the grounds were extremely well maintained. Cheryl was a delightful host and her helper Jeff was great! Swimming in the river was the highlight of our days. We travelled with our GSD who loved it! We will definitely return and tell our friends to stay!!
