We’re Back
The tranquility here is unmatched. The peace is only shattered at night by the sound of fish jumping in the Clarence River literally at our doorstep.
The mobs of kangaroos including the albino kangaroo are not shy should you wish to say hi and take a photo. Being return campers, we knew that to stay longer we would need to devise a water solution as there is no water available here on site.
I acquired a potable drinking water bladder which was easily filled in Yamba or Maclean and then just pumped into out caravan. The sunrises and sunsets make the little effort all the more reason.
Lovely to have met Zoe and Glen. We noticed the improvements since our last visit in the site and riverbank protection. Planning our next visit.

Amazing!!
This Hip Camp is amazing!! Gorgeous views of country side and river. Extremely well kept and clean. Very large sites offer good privacy. Fishing was fantastic!! Off grid but easy. Loved the campfire area. This was our first Hip Camp experience and it has set the bar high! Thank you so much to our lovely hosts whom checked in on us. We will definitely be back when we travels through Palmers Island again.

Riverside Rest was perfect!
Excellent. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Lovely quiet location but only 10 mins into town. The sites are surrounded by paddocks of friendly cows. We saw kangaroos, bandicoots, possums and plenty of birds. No bugs, mozzies or flies but we were there in June, summer might be different. Gorgeous sunsets. Site 1 was perfect. We enjoyed the fire pit under a star lit sky. Thanks Glenn and Zoe, we loved it.

Camping and fishing
Loved camping at riverside rest. Right on the river grass to water’s edge. Could put kayak in. Highly recommend.

An absolutely beautiful riverfront stay. So quiet and peaceful. Had visits from kangaroos, bandicoot, pelicans and dolphins. Glen and Zoe were great hosts. Recommend it to anyone!
