Terrific spot to camp. Jackie met us on arrival with a basket of goodies from her garden which was truly lovely. The views from the camping spot a beautiful. We happily used one of the fire pits to toast marshmallows and watch the skies.

This place is so beautiful and peaceful and Jackie and Chris are such wonderful hosts. We were greeted with some home grown fruit and vegetables, were told that if we needed anything or had any problems or queries to text her and we were given complete privacy yet when we saw her and approached her she was more than happy to sit and chat with us. Very genuine people. Totally recommend this place for a great stay. The scenery and the animals, especially Pip the dog are beautiful. Thanks for a great stay

Great paddock on top of a hill with fabulous views. The host Jackie greeted us with a smile and was most helpful and welcoming.
Very nice experience at this hipcamp.

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 :)

Arena Paddock at Riverview
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 :)

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.

The hosts Jackie and Chris were fantastic and so welcoming. We even got some of Jackie’s freshly picked veggies which were beautiful.
The secret swimming spot Jackie and Chris have is awesome it’s great for the pups, kids and adults alike.
We stayed in our caravan and every camp site is huge plenty of room for the van, the car and fire and there was still room for another caravan or couple of tents.
There is no trees for shade so make sure you take your own things to create some shade.
A great experience we will definitely be back and we highly recommend staying here.
Thank you so much Jackie and Chris for your hospitality.

Jackie was an amazing host, she showed us the secret swimming hole which was awesome. As we had some car trouble she offered to take us to wherever we needed to go to in town. Tip and Sam (red mini dachshund) had a great play together. Awesome quiet spot , beautiful views.
Will definitely start again
Thanks again

Jackie went above and beyond to accommodate all of us. We were welcomed in from the moment we arrived. The spot itself is very well grassed, and offers 360 degree views of the surrounding mountains. We felt we had a great sense of privacy too! We are very much looking forward to coming again next year... perhaps for longer!

The view was absolutely amazing. Nice, level, grassed areas.
Very friendly, accommodating hosts. They even delivered some home grown produce to us. Which was delicious.
Fire pits are supplied.
Very dog friendly and their little Tippy would often visit our puppies for a play.
The property is pretty central to most places - Bega and Tathra.
Would highly recommend a stay here. It was so peaceful and the sunsets were amazing.

Arena Paddock at Riverview
River View HipCamp is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of nature's embrace. Our 8 night stay at this 33-acre paradise was nothing short of magical. The moment we arrived, we were greeted by breathtaking 360-degree views that seemed to stretch on forever, painting a picture-perfect backdrop for our entire stay.
The campgrounds are meticulously maintained, offering a perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. Each morning, I woke up to the soothing sounds of nature and the refreshing sight of the nearby river, creating a serene ambiance that rejuvenated my soul.
One of the highlights of River View HipCamp is its convenient access to a plethora of local attractions. Whether I wanted to explore hiking trails, indulge in water activities, or simply unwind in nature's embrace, everything was just a stone's throw away.
The hosts at River View are incredibly warm and welcoming, adding a personal touch to the overall experience. They went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was comfortable and memorable, providing insider tips on must-visit spots and hidden gems in the area.
We highly recommend River View HipCamp to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature's beauty. It's not just a campground; it's a haven where memories are made, adventures are embraced, and the beauty of the great outdoors comes to life in every moment. Can't wait to return for another unforgettable experience!"

This is a great spot for camping with a group of people as there are only three very large sites. There is lots of space and the hosts are so welcoming. We enjoyed swimming at the nearby river as well as driving to the beach. For the Easter weekend it was so much nicer than being crowded at the beach. The campsite has a wonderful outlook. Such a great place to relax.
