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.

We are professional musicians and love to meeting people. Elphie used to own the iconic Nimbin Rox backpacker hostel, and although Soulhaven is only in its infancy, it still has a relaxed atmosphere. Our favourite part of living at Soulhaven is the daily orchestra of birds! Although you will feel like you’re completely secluded from busy town-life, we are only 15 minutes from the nearest shops. Enjoy a toasty campfire in the evenings where you can sit back and gaze at the stars. There are trail bikes tracks nearby and the iconic Border Ranges is just past Kyogle. This campsite is 2WD friendly and caravans are welcome. You may need to level your caravan for a good night's rest. Your pet, on a lead, is welcome to camp with you. We love animals, but one of the reasons we left suburbia was to get away from barking dogs. If your dog barks at night, or is not we’ll socialised, you’re best to leave pooch at home! Our place is family friendly and we ask that you keep music and noise to a minimum after 10pm.

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.
