Handy stopover near Bega — easy to find. Close reach to the surrounding coast.

So lovely and peaceful! Great views
Lovely camp at the top of a hill with glorious views!
You are greeted by Jackie and Tip to welcome you and show you around.
Very quiet, with a little fireplace ready to go and use (BYO wood & only when not a TFB)
Jackie has a great little swimming spot just down the hill to cool off in too!
So nice to see someone not trying to charge extortionate fees to camp on their land!
Will stay again if in the area for sure!
Thanks Jackie and Tip ◡̈

It was quite full when we got there, but there was just enough room for our car and a small tent.
Much smaller space than we're used to.

Honest Details :)
We booked at the last minute and Jackie was amazing. She was prompt with reaching out and even came out to see us when we arrived. She was friendly and really supportive. 10/10 for being an amazing host. But...to be honest, advertising a "33-acre property has 360-degree views of mountains" was fairly cheeky!!
"Pack a picnic and walk to the river just down the hill from your camp site." ACTUALLY means walk down the driveway, along a road and across another road, it is not on the property, but technically yes, a 5 minute walk! The pictures suggest accessible flat paddocks leading to a river but sadly no such thing (very deceiving pictures!)
"Park your van or pitch your tent on a grassed flat area...convenient location with beautiful 360-degree views." ACTUALLY means pull into a small fenced off box nestled snuggly between the other 5 sectioned off boxes in the small paddock (the rest if the property is 1 big hill)
Your views will be your VERY close neighbours on either side of your small rectangular fenced patch - make sure you close the blinds to get changed, and don't leave your dog outside if you are worried about the safety of the little kids from your neighbouring vans, you can't blame the little munchkins for making themselves at home all around your van when you are mere meters from their door! It was sort of like a very small caravan park at the top of a windy hill, complete with screaming children, flapping tents and lots of neighbours, but no amenities :)

Pet friendly 🐾
Jackie is such a friendly host. She will help with anything you ask. She will also show you "The Secret Swimming Hole" to EVERYBODY!!!! It's a bit of a running joke with her lol. We have been there twice now and will more than likely end up there again one day.
It's a beautiful camp with amazing views.
Do yourself a favour and go visit ✨️

We loved camping at Arena Paddock at Riverview. It was an awesome place to stay, with a beautiful 360-degree view. We had a fantastic time at the camping site and it is very secure and easy to find. It was a 10-minute drive to Bega town center and a half-hour drive to Thatra Beach, River Esplanade, and national parks. Jackie is a great host and very helpful.
