Great Spot, Highly Recommend
Great spot ideally located next to ferry allowing access to pup over the river. Beautiful scenic river views, the location has character and the owner is really nice and helpful. The shower was clean, hot and a welcome visit after a days fishing on the water. Site is thick lush green grass.

Absolute Waterfront with Car Ferry
You cannot get any closer to the water if you tried. Car Ferry right to the gate, Ulmara Pub on the other side of the Clarence River. Even has a Shower that you can use, and he doesn't overcrowd the groups. Top Spot amongst the cows, highly recommended.

Camping right on the Clarence
What a beautiful grassy spot to camp, right on the Clarence river providing easy access for swimming and fishing and heaps of room to spread out. Other campers were able to launch boats from the shore. Our host, David, was very accomodating and made sure we had lovely time. We will definately be back when next in the area.

Great Place to Stay
We as a group loved the week and a bit we stayed at this site. We met some awesome people at this camp site and they won’t be forgotten. We enjoyed the beauty and riches it has to offer. We had to bring our own shower and toilet( big deal when you’re equipped right yeh) , you will understand when there. It’s nature at its very best., grass under your feet, tidal water just in front, cows having a chew on the grass in the morning , fishing, swimming and others would say, living next door to Alice or Alan, depends on the version of the song you listen to. Someone call Barry and tell him this is living. Highly recommend this place. Ferry takes you there from Ulmarra. The ferry is free and is run by NSW RTA. Great bunch of people looking after you to make sure you have a safe and happy stay. Just do yourself a favour and book this place on your to do list as you pass through. Southgate on the Clarence at Grafton. Dave and Family, Thank you from all of us and we will see you again soon. Cheers
