We apologise for being currently unavailable to take bookings. We are currently building off grid luxury eco cabins on the property. There will be 2 x studio cabins and 2 x 2 bedroom cabins. We hope to have these available by the end of the year, to which we can take camping bookings again. Thanks for your patience while we complete these exciting additions to our property. Amazing views, nestled in nature and only 1 minute off the highway. Located close to the Forster-Tuncurry exit. We are located 3 hours north of Sydney and 5 hours south of the QLD Border making it a convenient stop over for your travels, or a nice place to stop and explore the local areas being close to beaches and the Barrington Tops. The property has spectacular views that you won't find anywhere else. We are in a quiet rural area where the neighbours can't be seen. There are walking tracks for you to explore the natural environment. There are many kangaroos, wallabies and numerous amount of birds in the area. The property backs onto national park. There is a river that is only a few kms behind the property that you can put a small boat in to take you out to Saltwater Beach. Old bar beach is a 12 minute drive, Forster-Tuncurry is 15 minutes and the beaches of Pacific Palms a 45 minute drive. There are file piles near the bush sites that you can help yourself too. If in need of groceries or supplies Taree supermarkets and Stores are only 10 minutes away.

Each "site" is to accomodate one vehicle towing a caravan/motorhome etc. You have 3 site options to choose from. We will leave it up to you to choose where you would like. OPTION 1 You can go on top of the hill with the amazing panoramic views. As this is on the top of the hill, unfortunately there will be no shade protection in this area. OPTION 2 There are two protected areas which will give you shade and protection. If staying in these areas you are welcome to still sit at the top of the hill and enjoy the views. DISCLAIMER Sometimes on a windy day the winds can get quite strong as the property is right on the top of a hill. To avoid any damage due to these winds, on a day like that we would ask you to use one of the two protected areas.

Herring Estate is a camper's delight, offering expansive views of both the ocean and mountains. The area is peaceful, spacious, and meticulously maintained, with plenty of spots to choose from, whether you prefer a hilltop view or a more secluded location by the pond. While most guests praised the tranquility and breathtaking landscapes, a few noted the occasional highway noise. Overall, the property is highly recommended for its beauty and serenity, making it a favored stopover for many travelers.

Herring Estate Off Grid Camp Site 1
We absolutely loved our stay at Herring Estate. The views and scenery were amazing. We felt safe and there is enough space that it was also private and peaceful. It is also far enough off the highway that u can hardly hear the trucks at night. There r sites on top of the hill with views of the ocean and mountains and sites near the pond for those that don’t want to tackle taking the van up the hill. We have recently had our son and daughter in law move to Old Bar so we will definitely be regulars at Herring Estate !! It is an amazing Hipcamp. Thank you Kristy for our stay !!

Glorious views in all directions atop the hill at Herring Estate. Manicured property with shade if you need it. Sunrise over the slither of ocean visible to the east was worth the early morning rise. Old Bar Beach and the Saltwater National Park 15 minutes away. Don’t leave without a jar of local honey! To be repeated.

Beautiful property and positioned very close yet far enough away from the highway for anyone needing an over night stop or for those wanting to explore the Forster area but to stay away from the town. We have already recommended this spot to friends and family.

Stayed 4 nights in area 3 at the back of the property for more privacy and shade, even f it meant missing out on the great view from the hill. Best thing about this property is its location, being close to all the awesome beaches Barrington coast has to offer. Heaps of firewood was a bonus. Highly recommended.

We love the Herring Estate. It was our first time experiencing the off grid stay with RV / MotorHome. Such a lovely view on site 1, we went into the lower site on late arvo coz the wind was quite strong. The kids love nature and they gathered some firewoods that were already in the area and we lit a fire using the contained fire pit we found in the area. They had a wonderful time for the first night of our camping. Thanks for sharing your beautiful estate.
