Great spot to camp, very flat, east 2WD access and next to the creek. Some deep spots for swimming but even the shallow is lovely to lay around in the heat. Sam the host was amazing and couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome. Definately a place to return to.

We loved Caitie and Sam’s place. We were lucky to be there in Spring surround by beautiful flowers. My son had a nice dip in the river and the kids loved playing in the gravel section. It’s very private, quiet and secure, and not far out of Bellingen. I would definitely recommend their place!

My partner and I enjoyed a lovely cruise control kinda day exploring all Bello and surrounds has to offer. Bunya stay was the perfect destination point to unwind and isolate in nature, with only a short 5 minute drive from Bello centre. Host Caitie was warmly accomodating and helpful with straightforward directions. The grounds were very well maintained, perfect for a game of Finska, a fire, and our swag. All we needed. The creek was easily accessible and practical for all ages. The presence of the friendly cows over the fence offered cosy company. Would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a private retreat close to Bello!

We loved camping at Buny Farm. So quiet as Caitlin and Sam only allow one booking at a time. Although the cows are surprisingly noisy at night! It is flat and grassy but their is no shade! The creek offers a bit of shade and a great cool-off. Be sure to bring a gazebo in the hotter months. You need to be totally self sufficient. There is a dump point on the road before you turn into the showground and a water tap by the river. Caitlin and Sam did kindy offer us water and use of a freezer as we were staying 10days. Our hosts were communicative and checked in on us when a huge storm rolled in. We loved the seclusion and our own private access to the creek. Only 10 minutes or so from Bello. This was just the break we were after and we will definitely be back.

A nice place to relax and unwind

Bunya Farm River Flats- 2WD
Camping on Caitie's farm was relaxing. We needed somewhere to stay over Christmas so we could visit family. Caitie's farm offered us a private, safe place to use as a base. We had the place to ourselves so we were able to play a little bit of music while relaxing by a camp fire without worrying about campers next to us. A walk in the creek was a great way to cool down on the very hot days but I was a bit worried about ticks as the access track is a bit overgrown. Nothing a whipper snipper couldn't fix unfortunately we didn't have one with us.

Absolutely magical location for an off-grid experience. Very peaceful and private and close enough to town but far enough out. Easy to locate and Caitie met us to guide us to the River-side camp spot. Our son enjoyed swimming/boogey boarding down the gentle rapids in the river (creek). Being the only campers made the experience super special.

We loved our few days at Bunya farm. Setting up camp next to the sounds of the creek and cows was such a treat. Lots bird life in the morning. Short drive to Bellingen and about half hour to Dorrigo national park. Very private
