Little Plain Hall grounds - a small rural hall and grounds celebrating their 100th year in 2023 and adjacent to the Ellenborough River with a number of bush campsites available. (If you are after more than a nice piece of grass and a flushing toilet then this property maybe isn't for you!) All sites are reached via dirt tracks that can be rough and slippery. Sites 1 and 2 are adjacent to each other behind the hall and closest to the toilet and the most accessible-more suited to caravans and those without 4 wheel drives. Sites 3, 4 and 5 are adjacent to each other on the banks of the river. Site 6 is separate from the others on the bank of Little Plain Creek but furthest from the toilet. PLEASE NOTE: Access to the river at sites 3, 4 and 5 - the banks are steep and though we have a narrow track down it is slippery. There is access to the river at other spots on the property. This open grassed area of 6 acres is 5 kms further on from the Ellenborough Falls turnoff. (We are not near Ellenborough village but in Elands- this is a somewhat common error when people look us up.) We are a community-run non-profit facility available to campers. All funds raised are used to improve the grounds and hall. Directions to find us: From the Pacific Highway either from Port Macquarie or Taree: Following the Brown tourist signs to Ellenborough Falls turn off/ continue straight ahead on Glenwarrin Road (don't turn into the falls). You will cross over 2 bridges. After the second bridge we are the next property on the right. Larger rigs are not advised. because of the winding dirt roads to get to our village. One toilet available and limited tank water - please BYO water and be water wise with the tank water at the hall. Well behaved pets are welcome. Hall available for hire - please send an enquiry.

Site 6 is our most private site next to Little Plain Creek which flows into the Ellenborough River. It is a 4 wheel drive accessible site as the track becomes slippery when wet. (It is also the furthest from the toilet. ) It is our biggest site and suitable for larger family groups. There are two sections to the site- one very shaded, on dappled shade and more open.

Kate was lovely! The campsite is really beautiful. Super shady and a great spot by the river. The toilets are clean and have who gives a crap toilet paper. Community is really friendly - highly recommend the markets! Had a great stay. The waterfall is stunning 🥰

Beautiful spot by the river!! The whole campground is lovely luscious grass. We loved playing with the rope swing and rock slide at rapids Rd (5 mins by car) Having a flushing toilet on site was a big plus

I loved tent camping at Little Plains. The plots were really spacious. The loo was clean. Also felt like a good location as it was close to the legendary Ellenborough Falls. We also visited the local market on the Sunday. Would recommend staying here.

Was a nice place, but the add makes it seem as though camps a seperate from each but 3, 4, and 5 are about 20m from each other. It also states that they are creek or river side but access to the water is not that great

Site 5 -river side
Each of the sites were spaced apart really well and there was a pretty good option for shade for mornings or evenings. Unfortunately, due to dry conditions the water level was really low and we only found the one way (via site 6) to safely get to the water to put our feet in. Thankfully it was much cooler and shaded by the water. The functioning regular toilet (not a drop toilet) was a nice surprise.

Little Plain Halls Ground was such a great getaway. We camped on site 3 and were lucky it offered plenty of shade from the sun. All the sites are pretty spread out so there's enough room for each group. The toilet was clean and great to have. Being so close to Ellenborough Falls was a great escape from the Summer heat.

Well kept grounds. Flushing loo a great bonus. Very close to other campers though, and advertising a river camp,expected to be able to access the water to swim,or at least see it!

Site 4-river side
Host was responsive and this place will suit some. Price was good. The wording of these sites made me think we were going to be looking at a river and was planning a swim. Some sites are very close together maybe better for groups and other are not very level. We were bringing our van (only 17” single axle) and sites were very small, over grown and if you managed to find the track, there was a small stream. The road in was single lane dirt with lots of twists and turns and I should have taken more notice of the sign that said caravans not recommended but since this site allows vans, I thought it would be ok. (Might want to put something in the listing about this) Haven’t physically met anybody during the stay. On site toilet, garbage bins and little library was great. Cicadas (not host fault) were deafening. We ended up leaving a couple days early . This would be a great site to reccy 1st or maybe just stay 1 night to see if you like it. Might also want to give the place a mow every now and then.

Very peaceful and secluded campsites, can hear the creek in the night (site 6). Facilities are clean and well-maintained, was easy to find and to access. Kate was lovely and came in to check on us a few times (we stayed four nights). A lot to explore within 1 hr driving distance, local shop sells bare minimum if needed. Would recommend and we will definitely be back if in the area.
