The Ranch on Clarence – Horse Lovers' Camp & Riverside Escape
Escape to a truly unique Australian ranch experience on the banks of the magnificent Clarence River.
Nestled on 113 acres with over 1.3 kilometres of private Clarence River frontage, The Ranch on Clarence is home to more than 35 beautiful horses, including Andalusians, Warlanders, Friesians, Stock Horses and other much-loved breeds, all living as naturally as possible across the property.
Unlike traditional campgrounds, we've intentionally designed each campsite to feel exclusive, private and immersed in nature. Rather than camping alongside dozens of other people, every campsite has been carefully positioned to provide its own sense of space, privacy and tranquillity. We want every guest to feel as though they've discovered their own secluded corner of the Australian bush.
Whether you're perched high above the river on a spectacular cliff, camped beside peaceful rapids, tucked beneath towering trees or overlooking wide sandy beaches, each campsite offers its own unique outlook and connection with nature.
Wake to birdsong, watch horses grazing nearby, enjoy campfires beneath star-filled skies and reconnect with a slower pace of life.
Spend your days swimming in crystal-clear freshwater, kayaking, fishing, exploring walking and mountain biking trails, spotting platypus, or simply relaxing beside one of Australia's most beautiful rivers.
For horse lovers, we offer unforgettable equine experiences including:
The Ranch Experience
1 Hour River Ride
2 Hour River Ride with Bareback River Swim (conditions permitting)
Full-Day Wilderness Trek
Troopy Horse Safari, where you'll help call in the herd and experience the excitement of moving with horses as they gallop across the landscape.
Our property offers both 2WD and 4WD accessible campsites, a flush toilet near the Homestead and plenty of room to spread out and unwind. If you're looking for something truly special, don't miss Swan Lake, complete with its own fire-heated outdoor bath beneath the stars.
The Ranch on Clarence is the sister property to The Ranch Byron Bay, continuing our passion for sharing exceptional horse experiences and authentic Australian ranch life.
Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation or simply a place to reconnect with nature, we look forward to welcoming you.
Guest Information
Welcome to The Ranch on Clarence. This is our family home, a working Australian ranch and the home of our much-loved horses and farm animals.
One of the most special parts of staying here is sharing the landscape with our free-roaming horses and experiencing authentic ranch life. We kindly ask that all guests help us create a peaceful, respectful and safe environment for everyone.
During Your Stay
Please arrive during your nominated check-in time. If you expect to arrive late, we'd appreciate a quick message.
Please respect the privacy of other campers by keeping noise to a minimum, particularly during the early morning and evening.
Leave your campsite clean and tidy, taking all rubbish with you or placing it in the designated bins.
Campfires are permitted only in designated fire pits and only when local fire restrictions allow. Never leave a fire unattended.
Our Horses & Animals
Our horses are treasured members of our ranch family.
Please help us care for them by following these simple guidelines:
DO NOT feed the horses or any other animals. Our horses are on carefully managed diets and unsuitable food can make them seriously unwell.
For your safety, never feed horses while they are together as a herd. Even the quietest horses can become excited around food and may crowd people or compete with one another, creating a potentially dangerous situation.
If you would like to meet or interact with the horses, please speak with us first. We are always happy to introduce you when it is safe and appropriate.
Allow our horses to approach you in their own time and always respect their personal space.
Please do not run, scream, chase, throw objects at or deliberately startle any horses or other animals.
Leave gates exactly as you found them and do not enter paddocks or restricted areas unless invited by a member of The Ranch team.
Please respect our fences, gardens, equipment, wildlife and fellow guests.
Children
Children are very welcome at The Ranch and remain the responsibility of their parent or legal guardian at all times.
Please ensure children are supervised throughout their stay and do not:
Run or play around horses or livestock.
Chase, frighten or attempt to ride any animals.
Climb fences or enter paddocks without permission.
Open gates.
Feed any animals.
Photography
From time to time, photographs or videos may be taken around the property for promotional purposes.
If you would prefer not to appear in photographs or videos, simply let us know and we will happily respect your wishes.
Thank You
Thank you for choosing to stay at The Ranch on Clarence and for helping us care for this beautiful property, our horses and all the animals that call it home.
We hope your stay is peaceful, memorable and leaves you feeling refreshed, inspired and connected to nature.

Rocky River Play Station is a working bush property on the banks of the Timbarra River, about 20 km / 30 minutes south of Drake Village — an old gold-mining community tucked in the back of NSW Northern Rivers. This is a place for slowing down, sitting on grass, swimming in rivers, watching light change across the hills, and resting amongst the wildlife and our resident cows.
Your hosts live further back on the property. We’re close enough to help if needed, but far enough away that you’ll feel properly off-grid.
There is no mobile reception, which is part of the magic.
This is a leave-no-trace property:
- There are no bins — please take all rubbish with you when you leave.
- Campfires welcome when there is no fire ban.
- Facilities vary by site — please check individual listings carefully and come prepared.
Pets may be possible by request. We love visiting animals, but we also protect our local wildlife and grass-powered lawnmowers (the cows), so approval is on a case-by-case basis.
Rocky River Play Station is also home to evolving creative projects, small gatherings, and the Brushtales Arts Residency. Come to rest, create, gather — you're welcome.

17km from Fortis Creek National Park · 1 site
Your own two-bedroom cottage with magnificent views across the river valley to the mountains. Set in the homestead garden, Fairlight offers you old-fashioned hospitality in the natural peace and quiet. An escape to the country on a cattle property
The space
Twenty minutes from the highway- the 60-acre farm is a quiet oasis in a rural community. Fairlight was purpose-built for guests who have described it as comfy, relaxing, well-stocked, private, and different. The timber interiors and antique pieces add a touch of charm. One guest sai,d "it was like stepping back to a more relaxed time". Another saw the main bedroom and sighed "How romantic!"
A booking is for 2 guests and the cottage can accommodate 2 extra people.
Guest access
You have the whole cottage to yourselves.
You are welcome to wander the garden or walk down to the river.
Guests have access to the outdoor Forster room. ( A Room with a View !)
Guests staying for a while may like to bird watch or count the various native animals that visit the garden. Both depend on the season of the year.
Other things to note
Fairlight is in the country, 20 minutes from town so the Continental breakfast is extensive since there is no coffee shop to stroll to.
You choose your breakfast brands so no food is wasted.
Dietary needs like non-dairy or gluten-free can be catered for.
Most guests use the kitchen for their evening meal or drive into town.
In winter, there are room heaters and electric blankets. In summer, there are pedestal fans but no air conditioning.

Weekend Trip to The Jewel of Caniaba
We had such a great stay! The property is beautiful, peaceful, and the perfect place to switch off for the weekend. We loved being able to have a campfire, and it was a lovely surprise that there was plenty of free firewood available.
We went for a walk around the property, saw cows and even some kangaroos, which made the experience even more special. The host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and made us feel right at home.
Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing camping getaway. We’d definitely love to come back!

An absolutely stunning spot next to the river. Hot showers, toilet and deck/pergola overlooking the water a bonus! Clean cabin and linen, and includes some cookware, plates and cutlery. Great for a family with kids. Would absolutely stay again. Thanks Dan and Kristy for sharing your slice of paradise!

Weekend Trip to Misty Valley Glamping
We loved our stay at Misty Valley. It has all the facilities needed for a relaxing weekend away from the city. It is very private and you feel like you’re away from everyone and is a great place to recharge the batteries. Will definitely stay here again.

Absolutely loved this little Hideaway that Elizabeth has created, when we arrived Elizabeth gave us a quick guided tour and how to contact her if we had any problems (which we did not) we work hemp right next to the river with an amazing view across the other side and to the hills the accommodation was clean and the shower was awesome, the horses came for a visit and so did the Roo's which added that extra touch of country, if you want privacy and relaxation this is the place for you we are definitely going back, such a beautiful little spot and so peaceful, thanks for opening this up to us Elizabeth

Loved the stay. Beautiful location, great views of the river and sunsets. Everything you needed for a few nights away in a secluded spot.

4 nights at Rocky River Play Station
I spent 8 nights staying at Jess’s cabin and I was reluctant to leave. It’s got everything you need and is exceptionally comfortable - good mattress, kitchen, fireplace and a balcony to chill out on. There are a few walks you can do around the property including exploring Rocky River. The spot is private and has kangaroos and cows passing by…though Jess isn’t too far away if required. I’d highly recommend staying.

We had a wonderful glamping stay and would highly recommend it. The tent was lovely, comfortable and well set up, and the facilities were clean, convenient and had everything we needed. Chris was extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout our stay, which made the experience even better. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would happily return for another short getaway in the future.

1 night at Petaurus Gardens
Would 100% recommend!!! Tents are spacious, clean, warm and protected from the rain. The bed was super comfortable. They have toilets and showers with cold and warm water. Bedding, towels and firewood was provided on the property along with tea and coffee for the morning. Really easy to access and the property manager is a lovely person. Honestly can't go wrong!!

We love camping here! This trip was forecast for lots of rain and thunderstorms and it was my birthday so didn't particularly feel like being soggy so we upgraded and stayed in the tiny house which was such a treat! Has everything you need. And the fire heated hot tubs by the river are just such a special thing to add to any camping trip. Hosts were lovely as always, we will keep coming back ☺️
