6.7km from Timbarra National Park · 4 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
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.

16km from Timbarra National Park · 15 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Located 19 km due east of the famous historical village of Tenterfield the working, cattle breeding, property "Mindoo" has recently opened its gates to campers.
Framed by the rugged border range National Parks "Mindoo" is 1100 acres of rolling green hills dissected by the pure, cascading, waters of the Cataract River which provide a number of private riverside campsites. Campers are encouraged to meander along the continually changing River and explore its many secluded swimming holes and enjoy the abundant wildlife that cohabitates with the Angus/Wagyu cow herd. Direct access to the neighbouring National Parks and State Forests offers an array of day trips to hikers, mountain bikers, or horse riders where they can discover the natural treasures of Basket Swamp and Boonoo Boonoo Falls, Woolool Woolooni, among others.
For those who require a little more comfort, and lets face it we all do at times, the Mindoo Cabin is available. Featuring three bedrooms, open plan living/dining/kitchen,and a shady deck overlooking the River the cabin sleeps eight and still allows visitors to partake in all the adventures that "Mindoo" offers with the benefit of a comfortable rest when the day is done.
Unfortunately horse riding is no longer covered by our insurance policy. You are able to bring your horses, however evidence of your own insurance policy must be provided.
Be as adventurous or as restful as you please as both options are freely available. Mountain Biking, Hiking, or just riding your hammock and relaxing we are sure you will enjoy your time at "Mindoo". All of our river sites are designated and are space apart.
As most of our sites are on the river and have farm tracks to access, if it is wet we may have to move you to a different site. 4wds are recommended for all sites and are required for some site. Please read the listing for the campsite you are wanting to book. Some of our sites do not suit caravans. All roads require high clearance vans.
If you do not like dogs or your own dogs are not very sociable Mindoo may not be the place for you. Daisy the Doodle (Golden Retriever/Poodle) and Paul the Pig Dog (a very gentle Bull Mastif/Catahoula) like to come and say hello to campers at The Park & The Junction.

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.

Welcome to Undercliff Farm
Step back to a time when life moved slower and the land spoke louder than the world. Undercliff Farm isn't a modern park or a luxury retreat; it’s a private sanctuary where the quiet rustle of the leaves is the only soundtrack you’ll need. We believe in the honest beauty of simplicity—where a starry sky is better than any screen and a shared campfire means more than convenience.

* By Arrangement: We prefer groups and keep things orderly to protect the peace.
* The Essentials: While Trackside is unpowered (generators allowed).
Respecting the Sanctuary
We are merely caretakers of this soil. We ask that you walk softly, leaving only footprints so the wildlife and future generations can enjoy this harmony. To keep our trees healthy and our ecosystem safe, please do not bring outside wood onto the farm.
A Warm Welcome
Good dogs are welcome, and good manners are expected. We invite you to breathe deep, respect your neighbour, and find your own quiet corner of renewal.
Creatures of comfort

• Amenities are for your convenience.

What a great place. We usually ride motor bikes and camp next to a river. This time due to time of year (winter) we upped the ante and went to the Shed . What an epic experience and 3 fires to boot . It’s not a hotel so don’t expect it to be but an awesome place and experience . Thankyou John & Vicky for sharing your beautiful part of the world . Will be back for sure

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.

What an amazing hidden gem! The drive in was quite long and rocky, and we even thought we might be on the wrong road. But when we arrived, the beautiful mountain views, river, trees, and birdsong made it all worthwhile.
The cabin was cozy and comfortable, especially with the wood fireplace keeping us warm at night. We loved being surrounded by nature and enjoying the peaceful forest setting.
The free kayaks were a great bonus, allowing us to explore the water and take in the stunning scenery. In the evening, we sat around the campfire and enjoyed the incredible starry sky.
It was a relaxing and memorable stay, and we would definitely come back again. Highly recommended for anyone looking to escape the city and enjoy nature. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a beautiful place to stay! The cabin was absolutely stunning, and although it was quite cold during our visit, there was a fireplace inside the cabin and another fire pit outside that kept us warm and cosy the whole time.
The scenery was breathtaking, and at night the stars were spectacular. We could even see the Milky Way stretching across the sky, which was an unforgettable experience.
The canoes were a fantastic addition and provided hours of fun for both me and the kids. Being able to get out on the water and take in the peaceful surroundings made the stay even more special.
A big thank you to Sharon and Steve for such a wonderful stay and for sharing this little piece of paradise with us. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and will definitely be back.
P.S. If you happen to look in one of the corners of the roof, you'll find a little red speaker we accidentally left behind 🤭. It's up for grabs if you or another guest would like it! I loved the place so much I forgot all about it.

Weekend Trip to Eden Vale Shearing Shed Camp
My husband, dog and I had a lovely stay in the old sheering shed. The shed had everything we needed and more including a nice and warm indoor fireplace. The hosts were very responsive and helpful.
We highly recommend staying here if you want a cosy weekend away to clock off and relax.

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 ☺️

Weekend Trip to BAJIMBA Eco Camping and Farm Stay
Our stay here was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, it felt peaceful, welcoming, and truly like a home away from home. The property itself was stunning, with the most beautiful views that made every morning and evening feel so special.
The owners were incredibly kind and accommodating, going above and beyond with thoughtful little gestures that made our stay even more memorable and comfortable. You can genuinely feel the care and love that has gone into creating such a beautiful space.
It was exactly what my puppy and I needed relaxing, refreshing, and unforgettable. We left feeling so grateful and already cannot wait to return. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful getaway with amazing hospitality.

We had such a wonderful stay in your cottage , it was truly a special experience for our family.
The cottage was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared with all the essentials we needed, including milk, butter, coffee, sugar and other little touches that made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived.
We especially loved meeting all the friendly animals around the farm, and the farm cats were absolutely adorable. They brought so much joy to our stay.
One of our favourite memories was sitting around the campfire at night under the beautiful sky full of stars. It felt peaceful, relaxing, and like a true country escape. It was such a lovely opportunity to slow down and enjoy nature.
Thank you so much for creating such a warm and welcoming place. You can really feel the care and effort you’ve put into the property. We’re very grateful for this experience and made some beautiful family memories here. We would absolutely love to come back again in the future.
