All to yourself

100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

Our 320-acre property is a pristine piece of paradise halfway between Sydney and Brisbane on the mid-north coast of NSW. Our site is unique, in that once you book you have the whole site to yourself. This is PRIVATE camping. You'll only have to share the river with whoever you bring with you and us! This is truly off-grid stuff - no power, no showers, little to no phone reception but one of the most peaceful places you can experience. There will sometimes be cattle in the paddock you are camped in - so to make this plain there could be cow poo around your area. If that is a worry to you, it's best you camp on a farm without livestock. If you do camp with us, and our cows are in the paddock, they are friendly and won't hurt you, though they can be quite inquisitive. We endeavor to keep our moo friends in other paddocks, but this is a working farm and we have to manage our pastures and put our animals where they are able to be safe and have enough food to stay healthy. If you're here at the right time of year, you might catch a Bass or see a Platypus (but only if you're very, very quiet). There is a lot of bird life (Kingfishers, Wrens, Finches amongst others), reptiles (water dragons and lace monitors), and - of course - our farm animals. Getting away from it all starts right here at Oakvale Cattle Farm.Stare out over the causeway and enjoy the crystal clear water flowing past. Your site is an easy walk away! This site has room for up to four tents/campers but it is one single site. That means that it will only ever be your group that will be camping there, regardless of whether your group is small or large. Caravans with decent clearance, camper trailers, and tents are all welcome. Self-contained is ideal, however, we can provide a portable toilet for a small additional fee. The site has Pappinbarra River frontage with low water levels ideal for smaller children, however, it is only a short walk to a deeper hole for the more adventurous. Another reminder that this is a working cattle farm, and there may be farm and animal related items around (including poo). Obviously we try to keep this to a minimum, but if this is an issue for you it may be better for you to find a property that is more tailored to your camping needs. Raised fire pits (that don’t damage our pastures) may be permitted when fire restrictions allow. This is not decided by us, we are bound by law.

Aaaahhhhh the serenity

Was beautiful and peaceful. The river was amazing not too deep so you could really enjoy walking through it or lazing about on a tube. An added bonus was the beautiful young cattle mingling around you. If you’re looking to reboot and recharge and disconnect from the hustle and bustle then this is perfect for you. Hosts Heather and Harvey were just delightful and welcoming. We will definitely be returning

It was a wonderful place that i would easily return to. I would advise anyone that doesnt want to relax is dont go there. The causeway sounds so relaxing and the cows were a good feature. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants to relax with the sounds of water Go there.

We had a great weekend at Heather and Harvey’s. Such a peaceful place and we loved that it was just us. Campsite is in a paddock, close to the river and away from the main house ensuring a tranquil stay. Thank you so much, just what we needed!

We had a wonderful relaxing time staying at Oakvale Farm. We stayed for 5 nights. The hosts Heather and Harvey are welcoming and leave you alone. The river is amazing, you can swim, fish or just watch the turtles and platypus swimming. I can’t recommend this farm enough. We will d

We had such a wonderful time at Oakvale farm! Heather and Harvey are deadset legends! So welcoming and happy to share awesome farm knowledge, we learnt so much about their beautiful cows. The bird life was stand out, the camp spot is great and the river is crystal clear and so refreshing. The kids loved every second. We will definitely be coming back!
