Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
Off-leash friendly
Pets can be off-leash at some sites.
Thankyou for considering Dungarubba Fields. We offer you a well located and secure camp-site to explore the North Coast or for that overnight stay while you are travelling to your destination and need a safe place to camp. Our four campsites are spacious and are freshly mown flat grassed sites. Each campsite has 1 or 2 stone circles for campfires, with free kindling and free firewood supplied to all campsites. Whether you are a single traveller, a couple, family or group booking we have the campsite for you. We are family friendly and dog friendly. Dungarubba Fields is a private, rural setting on six acres on Bundjalung country. Four of our camp sites are situated across a small bridge in the back paddock, and one camp site is situated just before the bridge for those self driving campervans with a wider wheel-base. The paddock was once cleared and in recent years we have planted and cared for over 100 new Koala and rainforest trees. After the Northern Rivers floods of 2022 we are now continuing the bush regeneration beside the Dungarubba wetland which borders our property. Our camp-sites offer shade, space, wildlife and birdlife. Campfires are allowed 12 months a year depending on fire ratings and local conditions except on days of Total Fire Ban and the preceding evening going into a Total Fire Ban. We supply the free firewood to each campsite as we understand how important the campfire is to the camping experience. Outside the fire season we can supply a readymade Bonfire at an additional cost to your booking. Hipcampers can access fresh drinking water (rainwater) from our rainwater tanks, with an accessible tap near our home. Hipcampers have access to a downstairs flushing toilet at the house. We offer a Portaloo for larger group bookings situated beside your camp site as an optional extra for an additional cost. The Portaloo needs to be booked when you make your booking. The house on the property was originally built in 1903 as the Catholic Church of the nearby locality Riley's Hill. In the 1940’s it was moved to the current site after low attendance by parishioners who didn’t want to have to row across the Richmond River and get their feet wet to attend Mass. The church sold the building in the 1980’s and it was raised off the ground with two new wings attached on either side to become a private residence. The sugar cane and soybeans, however more surrounding land is being planted to Macadamia nuts which will change the look of the landscape in future. During May to November of an evening, you can look out for the occasional cane fire which is a historic part of the harvesting of sugar. The Richmond River and boat ramp is a short 2 minutes drive for both fishing and water skiing. The Broadwater National Park with sand-dunes and a fishing beach is only a 10 minute drive away. The Pacific Highway is 7 minutes drive away. The beautiful coastal village of Evans Head with shops, a medical clinic and a patrolled beach is just a 15 minutes drive. The nearest townships are Broadwater (2 fuel stations and a pub under new management), Coraki (junction of 2 rivers), Woodburn (pub with a bistro and a laundrette) and Evans Head (a township with most services). We are a 45 minutes drive to Byron Bay and 25 minutes to the coastal city of Ballina up the Pacific Highway or 25 minutes drive inland to the city of Lismore. We welcome friendly dogs and there is plenty of space for them to run around and chase balls or other dogs. Our dog Stella is a 4 year old Blue Heeler, who greets people from the balcony barking as you drive in. Don’t let the barking fool you as she loves visitors and their dogs. We expect owners to be responsible for their dogs and in particularly when there are Koalas close by. We ask dogs not to roam at night as Koalas are nocturnal (and so are other critters) and night-time is when they choose their food tree for the next day and roam around. We are in Core Koala Habitat and love our koalas, we hope you do too. We look forward to hosting you and in creating a sensational camping experience for you. Lise and Pete Dungarubba Fields.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 10 m
We only offer this site when all other sites are booked or if a camper needs to be closer to the toilet, such as if they have young children. The site has sun and shade and is closest to the host's home, about 40 metres away. This site has the closest walk to the downstairs toilet, a flushing toilet available for the campers. There is a tap at the back of our home with rainwater available for campers drinking water. The Overnighter site has its own campfire area away from the trees and the lawn is mown when you arrive. This site has koala visitors occasionally. Dogs are required to be on leash at night-time when the nocturnal koalas move between trees. There is an off-leash area in our back paddock just over the small bridge, shared with other campers and any of their dogs.

We had a fantastic stay here! The property is beautiful, peaceful, and clearly well maintained—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the outdoors. The amenities were convenient, and thoughtfully set up, making our stay super comfortable. Lisa and Peter were truly amazing hosts: welcoming, helpful, and genuinely kind. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and made us feel right at home. We’d absolutely recommend this spot and can’t wait to come back!

I loved my little getaway to Dungarubba. This site was a perfect spot with trees lining the perimeter, plenty of space, flat for tents/swags and 2wd accessible. Lisa and Peter were very friendly, provided help where required and free firewood. The place is super dog friendly, lots of space for them to run around. I’d love to come back and stay again one day. Thanks for having me (and Walter dog!)

Only a short stay but it was all that we needed. There was a little more road noise than we expected but it was a good spot to base from.

We were met by Lisa and shown our site. It was lovely and nice and shady on a hot day which was great. Peter came down with a load of free fire wood which was greatly appreciated however it was too hot for a fire. We really enjoyed talking to Peter and learning about their Hipcamp journey including the events of the record flooding in 2022 and their amazing recovery. The rejuvenation of the trees and bush is amazing and while we didn’t see the resident koala we definitely heard him last night. Would definitely stay again.

I had a great visit at Lisa's campground. I recieved a warm welcome from the host who showed me the drinking water, campfire and toilet. The site was well mowed and spacious. The toilet was clean with everything I needed. I enjoyed being out among the sounds of animals and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again :)

It was a basic campground, with portable toilet, another toilet attached to the house, drinking water, firewood provided. So as described. Kids loved fire pit, they liked in general, I liked too. There was mosquitoes but mosquito coil, replicant and smoke from the fire was keeping them away. Also red belly black snake shows up, but hey, it's Australia:)

Casuarina Trees-Family Campsite
After our holiday plans drastically changing, we were pretty happy to find a last minute place to sleep for NYE. When we got to the place the instructions were long and confusing, our spot was blocked off by two long electric fencing, after trying to call Kate it went straight to VM, sent a few texts and got no response. We ventured elsewhere to a different part that was not allocated but it had to make do as we had a long journey home and needed the sleep, not to mention paying the $85.. we found the only spot we could were the grass wasn't waist high. Unfortunately it was right next to the highway, by the looks of it we wouldn't have been far off away from it with the original spot. Kate eventually did try calling back over 2 hours later letting us know we could open the electric fencing, this was not an option for us at the time as the instructions say not to open any fencing that is not already open..plus we were already asleep at the time.. the communication was beyond poor and we were not able to stay at our spot as booked. Ive reached out for a refund and have received zero communication yet. And by the looks of other reviews this is not the first time its happened. Always read reviews prior to booking!

The campsite was unreal, awesome fire pit with the firewood package I purchased was great. New firewood everyday, the hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The site was clean and everyone there was respectful and abided by the loud music off by 10pm rule. The hosts also collected the rubbish we bagged everyday, which was unreal to not have it on site. Lots of wildlife like goats and dogs and some koala’s. Will definitely be back

Really lovely secluded place to camp, we stayed for a night on our way up the east coast. They provided firewood which was a really nice touch, was an amazing spot for us to watch the stars in the evening as there’s no light pollution from the cities :)

The location is really handy if you’re coming in off the highway. Good directions and friendly hosts. Supply of firewood is great. A couple of warnings though …. the area is quite muddy after heavy rain, millions of mossies and the roosters start to crow at 4:30 am. Would be happy to stay again with earplugs and aerogard next time 😎
