Quiet and private. Lots of bird life in the water channels. We were in a flat paddock that is well kept and tidy.

Fantastic spot, easy to find and absolutely ideal location for us as we headed up the east coast. Dave had a fire made for us when we arrived and the scenery was idyllic, and waking up to being surrounded by roos was very special!

We had a lovely 3 days here. Unfortunately due to having had a lot of rain the area was wet and there were a lot of mozzies. We were offered a site closer to the house and given plenty of firewood which worked a treat. The hosts were lovely and we had a nice chat sitting beside the river. We would recommend the river site camp spots.

Mango Tree Site - Big River View
What a fabulous spot! Hosts were excellent, kept their distance but checked in for any concerns. Directions were clear. Location was second to none with river views, fish abundant, dolphins swimming by. Beautiful grassy level sites, facilities were excellent including a dog off lead run area if you want to go into down/explore without pooch. Only 10 minutes to Yamba where all the sardine caravan parks are, what a special time we had at Jan and Allen's. Recommend visiting Yamba farmers market Wednesdays, and doing close day trips to Iluka, Maclean and Angourie.

This would have to be the best Hipcamp site we’ve ever stayed at Jan & Allan were great hosts We even had our own private bathroom facilities We were offered power and water ( we didn’t need as we’re self sufficient in that department) The kangaroos and bird life were abundant And water views well they were on your doorstep and we were only 10 minutes from Yamba township We will be back

Skippy Bush Camp for Ensuite CVANS
We loved it and look forward to coming back for a bit longer next time. Beautiful scenery, flat, mowed, wildlife and just stunning spot. Our first night was a bittersweet, with inconsiderate camping neighbours while they were far enough away we weren’t in view they played loud music until 11pm. I ended up messaging Jan as I had enough, Jan and Al drove down within 10min! I was blown away by their prompt action to help us enjoy the peace and quiet you expect off grid camping. They also lit a fire where it was clearly signed no fires. Just troublemakers unfortunately and not Jan or Al’s fault. The next day and nights we had to our selves and could really enjoy the space and kangaroos. We had a wonderful stay

Great location being only 10mins to Yamba but felt well away from the busy town. Directions to get in a little confusing but hosts were friendly to chat with and helpful showing us to the site and the various areas to set up. Nice camp area with pretty level options in the shade or sun. Nice cool breezes, lovely out look and maintained sites and quiet peaceful area. We'd definitely book again!

Waterfront Site with Kids Cubby
We stayed at the cubby house site which was massive and directly on the river! Was an amazing place close to Yamba. Was great having power and water. Was a shame we couldn’t have a fire, but understandable with the fire ban in NSW. Will definitely come back again.

What an incredible HIP Camp. Best one we have ever stayed at. Can be slightly breezy as it’s right on the waters edge but keeps things cool this time of year. Highly recommended.
