Riverview Kiah is offering one campsite nestled on a very quiet part of the Kiah/Towamba river. To minimize impact on neighbors and make your stay more enjoyable, there is only one campsite offered on the whole property, so apart from the owners you will have it all to yourselves.
You will need to be a self-contained camper who brings their own camping toilet/shower. We offer access to water via a 1000l pod that is close to the campsite. This water is drinkable and may be used to fill jerry cans/ wash etc. We just ask you to please be frugal with usage.
The campsite is situated on a grassy knoll a mere 30m away from your own private beach, which is ideal for fishing kayaking and swimming.
The Kiah / Towamba river is well renowned for its excellent fishing. Live bait or soft plastics are best. Live bait can be sourced at nearby Nullica beach or alternatively, frozen prawn's, pipis or salted pilchards also yield success. Some of the species that call the river home are, Flathead, Bream, Luderick, Whiting, Estuary Pearch, Jewfish, Mullet and Flounder.
If you bring your kayaks, canoe or roof top tinny the river is very picturesque with unique photo opportunities and an abundance of wildlife. You can head upstream for a way but if you're feeling up to it, it's about a 2.5-hour paddle (at a slow steady pace) to the mouth of the river where Davidsons whaling station is located, as well as the view across the bay to Eden. If you time it right, you can go and return with the tide. Two kayaks and life jackets are provided with all bookings so that people without their own equipment are able to explore the pristine waterway.
There is a large firepit near the river that may be utilized as long as there is no total fire ban in effect. If you have your own firepit that can also be used but there are to be no fires on beach or bare earth. Firewood can be provided at an extra cost, (please select in extras, 1 bundle will last 2 nights on average).
Directions will be provided 48 hours before arrival; you are welcome to head straight to camp although if around I will meet and greet you upon arrival.
If you would like to bring your pet, please contact us to discuss first.

We had a wonderful stay at Peppers Farmstay. The sites were really well set out, easy access to a portable loo and a water tap. This was all we needed for a very comfortable stay with our dog! We had a beautiful view, quiet and peaceful evenings and we were surrounded by wildlife.
The cherry on top was Ben’s offer to brush and feed the ponies and goats. Thank you Ben for checking in on us throughout our stay and making us feel so welcome!
Warm regards, Hayley + Justin (& Reggie).

Fantastic place to camp, swim and relax. Everything we needed - power, water, and the cleanest, nicest compost toilet we have ever seen! Jenny and Arthur obviously know what they’re doing and are very helpful if needed. Highly recommended.

Loved it, we were on site 20 and mainly always from other campers most of the time, so more private. The area was great, easy walk to the river. The herb & vegetable garden was great and we did make use of it a few times! Jodie was super friendly and helpful, thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Plenty of space and options for camping - beautiful location with plenty of wildlife around. Short drive to beaches and all the amenities of Merimbula and Pambula. Excellent compostable toilets and option for a great hot shower (really appreciated!). Meredith is very welcoming and helpful.

Really nice spot kept beautifully. Felt like we were camped on a nice lawn not a paddock. Easy access to river which kids loved. Host was nice and helpful. Only unfortunate thing for us was, I’m assuming due to the massive rains the week before we arrived. The mosquitoes were insane at times. Other than that would definitely visit again.

We had a great time at Kiah Wilderness camp! The campsite was super spacious, and full of wildlife. Our kids had a great time spotting lots of animals around the site, and the river was the highlight. We used our inflatable boat to get across to the sandy bank and spent hours playing in the water and exploring the river bank. We had quite a few mozzies, but think that was more due to recent rain. A great campsite if you want large and private, great for groups. Thanks Jenny and Arthur!

Loved camping at Millingandi Station. Peaceful night and we loved that there was a veggie garden for anyone to use and take only what the need. Ended up making a banging chimichurri with the herbs to go with our dinner 😋 Will definitely visit again!

Beautiful, peaceful and natural place with plenty of space between campsites. Lots of wildlife and friendly horses. Creek was great after some good rain. Hosts are friendly and helpful and even offer puppysitting too. Very close to beaches and shops and Merimbula town.
