Located, just 25 minutes from the pristine beaches of Yamba and Iluka.
Across the river and just 15 minutes from the Scottish town of Maclean, nestled high in the Yamba hinterland.
You will not hear traffic, you will not see headlights. Pure peace and tranquility for you to relax, chill and enjoy.
The sites are surrounded by rugged mountainous bush land with views, trails, cliffs, 3 creeks to explore and includes a private lake ‘Lake Arid’ with its own island, ‘Dead Dog Island’. Swim, paddle, fish, play.
Metres away is another private swimming hole ‘Pants Off Pond’ stocked with Silver Perch and Bass.
So whether you indulge in pants off, or leave them on and just fish it’s up to you.
Explore a little further and you’ll find ‘The Abyss’ a former micro quarry, 9m deep waterhole.
The creeks have waterfalls, swimming holes, pure and clean, though are a rugged unmarked hike.
The sites are site only. You’ll need to take care of your waste, water, rubbish and power. Generator is ok, we’re out of earshot, so is everyone else.
Each site has a picnic table and a fire pit and an abundance of ‘cut your own’ firewood upon the ground.
Remember, fires this time of year are for ‘cooking only’, so be sure to bring those marshmallows…
Pet Friendly, 4WD friendly with a bunch of serious challenges too… Horse friendly too, yep, there’s a yard to keep them too, up by the house.
Accessible by 2WD with sites with enough space for any size caravan or motor home.
While exploring, if you find a spot you’d rather camp, simply ask.
We live on the property so help is nearby for any issues and the access road is shared.
Peace, quiet and nature abounds.

Shark Creek Retreat is an ongoing conservation project, where I call myself the caretaker of these beautiful wetlands. I have dedicated 77 acres of it as a wildlife sanctuary, it is a member of the Wildlife Land Trust and has joined the Land for Wildlife environmental community. To date there is a property bird list worthy of a small National Park for all you keen birders out there. To date I have been busy regenerating previously cleared land from farming and the 2019 bush fire with native plants local to this area in the 100's.
My aim is to surround most of the property in wildlife friendly fencing, regenerate the flora and create a fauna corridor as a wildlife safety zone from the wetlands to the road and to create a tranquil little space for nature appreciative people to stop and a take a rest.
Shark Creek Retreat is a conservation area, no amenities, no bins etc. so you would need to be self sufficient and responsible for own waste. What you bring, you must take. So if camping out in a conservation area appeals to you then head out to Shark Creek Retreat, stay for a night or stay for a week 💚🌳

We have a toilet and water. Suits tent camping, camper vans, caravans or vehicles. Plenty of room for boat parking if needed. You are welcome to bring your dog, as long as it is under control, and cannot chase our kangaroos. Birdlife in abundance as well, including 3 Wedgetail eagles on occasions.

Money made from your stay goes towards Mick's conservation project around the area which I loved. It terms of amenities, it really is just a drop toilet and a potable water tank!

Besides being a great host, he is a great tour guide! He showed us all the best places to go around. What we particularly appreciated was the importance it attaches to the environment and its preservation. And the bonus: Mick has three adorable dogs that will know how to welcome you with love.

What a lovely location on the banks of the Clarence River.
Communication from the host (James) was great and he greeted us on arrival and explained how to use the facilities available.
We had the property (5 sites) to ourselves and James was more than happy for us to set up on anyone we chose.
As we entered the site through the cane field it opened up providing us with expansive views of the Clarence River and the beautifully grassed sites.
The sites are very quiet at night and during the day given the rural setting which was great.
We’ll be back with friends !

Justin is a fantastic and friendly host who made us feel welcome straight away. We had a stunning view from our camp over to the west providing excellent sunset views. The afternoon breezes at the top of the hill provided welcome relief from the heat at the end of the day. Justin pointed us in the direction of great food and things to do. 15 - 20 mins from the heart of Yamba but removed enough for peace and serenity. Molly and Bindi were gorgeous companions to have around and Justin checked in regularly to see if there was anything we needed. Such value for money for such a beautiful spot. If we are ever back in the area again it will be a pleasure to go back.

Beautiful spot on the river, well maintained. When I stayed there was only one other camper at the time which allowed for us to be spaced out. Set up is similar to caravan park in style which is fine when not many people there however I can imagine it could get quite busy.. lovely shaded trees, lovely views.
