Not far to the surfing Mecca of Crescent Head and beaches at Hat Head. Only 6 minutes drive to the villages of Smithtown and Gladstone, renowned for their cafes, galleries and friendly pubs. Activities include, fishing on your doorstep. Up close experiences with farm animals including chickens, cows, our friendly horse, Giraffe. The property has 3 of the oldest and largest Morton Bay Fig trees in this area. Please note at this stage there are no toilet/bathroom facilities so we would recommend for those with self contained van set up.Experience a magnificent rural outlook whilst enjoying river views. The closest beach Horseshoe Bay, South West Rocks only a short 13km’s away. Surrounding beaches include, Hat Head, Crescent Head, Stuarts Point and Grassy Head. Ideal location for fishing and crabbing on site. This is a working farm and owner lives on the property.

My family and I loved our overnight stay. Ash was very friendly and helpful upon arrival. We set up with a view of the river which was especially beautiful to sit along at sunrise for a morning coffee. The kids loved the horse, 'Giraffe', who was friendly enough to come by our van for a feed and a pat.

Hosts were friendly and welcoming. Nice quiet spot with lots of lush grass. Was quite wet when we were there so we were thankful to be able to use concrete slab and undercover area to dry clothes and kids to play. Fig trees ginormous and kids loved playing in them

Great location! Beautiful surroundings! Ash and his partner are super welcoming, I loved being invited up for a cold beer on the decking listening to good music and learning about the farm!

Loved camping at Ashley's farm, extremely hospitable host, a variety of campsites to choose from. Allows privacy and feeling of space. Incredible Figtree and surrounding views. Highly recommended for short and long term stays, we will definitely be back.
