We had a fantastic stay! The campground was beautifully quiet and set right on the river, which made for a really peaceful few days. We were able to fish straight from camp and even caught a few, which was a highlight. It’s also dog-friendly, which made the trip even better. The location is great and only a short drive into both Iluka and Yamba for supplies, beaches, cafés, markets and pub lunch. The host was welcoming, helpful and just genuinely great to deal with. Would definitely recommend and look forward to coming back!

Great location, with beautiful views. There's plenty of space, not crowded, unlike the caravan parks. Great spot for fishing and close to Iluka and short drive to Yamba. We also brought our paddle boards and had some beautiful paddles down the river each morning. Would def stay again!

We had a beautiful time and had the place mostly to ourselves. We wore lots of kangaroos and caught some fish. The wind can pick up super strong though so need to have things well secured down.

This is a truly magical spot. You get to camp right next to the river, it is private and peaceful. It’s a great place to set up and enjoy the region. We did not manage to catch any fish but filled our pots with crabs everyday. I would definitely recommend a stay to enjoy the serenity.

Great spot
Campsite 5
This spot was so good!! We are a family of 6 - 2 adults 4 kids and spent 4 nights - we loved the river for fishing, we also spotted dolphins a few times. Loved the wallabies & Roos around. Great location for day trips out around the area - we did Iluka beach, Iluka bluff, Iluka bluff cove & Yamba Main beach and angourie rock pools. Loved night time fires.

We had a great time at Goodwood Island. Due to the rain we had to camp back from the river but Scott was a great host, giving us plenty of notice and allowing us to pick a spot we wanted. There are so many kangaroos and birds around bit they don’t bother anyone. The sites are grassy and clear, which meant we didn’t have any issues getting the caravan level or power to the solar panels. We’ll be back for sure.

This was our first time camping here and it won’t be our last for sure, what a awesome place to stay, we caught fish and crab 🦀 directly from our camp spot, and the host Scott was very helpful, sold firewood but the truck load for $50 we couldn’t burn it all on our time we stayed for 3 knights, Very peaceful but still close enough to drive to iluka and Yamba but still having that bush camp fire 🔥 camp trip, the dog certainly enjoyed himself too, when it was time to leave he wouldn’t get in the car 🤣, five stars 🌟 for this place.

An lovely spot with a great Host. Scott was so friendly and accommodating. Right by the river and while we had some rain the weather was great. Caught some fish, including a couple of Bream, a small Flathead which went back and a couple of crabs. Would recommend to anyone. Just watch out for the mozzies and midgets especially at night.

We had a great stay, thanks Scott! We felt welcome, directions were clear, site was level, grassy and right on the river, we loved being able to pop the kayak straight in, fishing and crabbing was easy. The supplied fire pits were great to have and we collected firewood on the property. Our little dog had a ball running around, awesome stay overall and we will be back!

The property is awesome. We had a great time. The sites are right on the banks of the river with perfect access for fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding etc. The sites are grassy, being quite large and peaceful with the nearest camper being 30+ meters from where we were set up. Scott"s communication and hospitality are excellent. As i only had lures, Scott even went out of his way to bring us some bait on our last night. We had a fantastic time and will definately be back again.
