27km from Kumbatine State Conservation Area · 1 site · Tent, RV
After years of welcoming campers to experience the magic of the Pappinbarra River, we're moving to our next chapter in nearby Beechwood. Oakvale Cattle Farm is now for sale.
If you've ever dreamed of running your own farm stay or eco-tourism venture, this could be your chance. The property has the 1.5km of this beautiful river frontage you've been enjoying, platypus habitat, established gardens, and all the infrastructure to continue (or expand) what we've built here.
The homestead has dual living areas - perfect for hosting guests while keeping your private family space. There's also productive pasture land, irrigation security, solar power, and everything you'd need to create a thriving regenerative farm and nature-based tourism business.
Price guide $1.75m - $1.9m. If you're someone who's been camping with Hipcamp and thinking "I could do this myself," reach out. We're happy to show serious buyers around and share everything we've learned about this place and hosting on Hipcamp. See our website for more info.
We're halfway between Sydney and Brisbane and only 45 minutes from Port Macquarie Airport.
This is PRIVATE camping. Once you book you have the whole site to yourself. You'll only have to share the river with whoever you bring with you and us!
It's off-grid stuff - no power, no showers, little to no phone reception but one of the most peaceful places you can experience.
There will sometimes be cattle in the paddock - so to make this plain there could be cow poo around your area. If that is a worry to you, it's best you camp on a farm without livestock. If you do camp with us, and our cows are in the paddock, they are friendly and won't hurt you, though they can be quite inquisitive. We endeavor to keep our moo friends in other paddocks, but this is a working farm and we have to manage our pastures and put our animals where they are able to be safe and have enough food to stay healthy.
If you're here at the right time of year, you might catch a Bass or see a Platypus (but only if you're very, very quiet). There is a lot of bird life (Kingfishers, Wrens, Finches amongst others), reptiles (water dragons and lace monitors), and - of course - our farm animals.
Getting away from it all starts right here at Oakvale Cattle Farm.

Nestled on 120 acres of private riverfront along the pristine Wilson River, Watt Family Farm River Sanctuary offers a rare escape into nature. This exclusive, self-sufficient sanctuary is designed for discerning campers seeking seclusion, tranquility, and breathtaking beauty. With just one campsite on the entire property, guests enjoy unrivaled privacy and an intimate connection to nature that few places can offer.
Greet the Estate’s homegrown cattle and horses as they graze peacefully in open paddocks. Light a campfire under the stars. Wander along the riverbank. Wake to birdsong and golden light filtering through the trees. Throw in a line from the private rustic jetty. Spend your days splashing in the river, kayaking along calm bends, towing a donut behind the boat or simply unwinding beneath towering river oak.
Mark and Tracey Watt are the custodians of this property along the Wilson, building a life rooted in hard work, rural heritage, and deep respect for the natural environment. Alongside their renowned cutting horse program (Australian Cutting Horse Co.), the property also supports their paddock-to-plate cattle program and a handful of chickens, creating a vibrant, working landscape full of life and purpose.
Now, as they look toward retirement, Mark and Tracey are embracing a more sustainable, self-sufficient, and eco-conscious lifestyle. Their vision for Watt Family Farm River Sanctuary is simple yet profound: to share the peace and beauty of this land with others—without compromising its integrity.
Their care for every corner of the 120-acre sanctuary is evident in every detail, right down to the thoughtfully placed campsite along the river. As guests, you’re not just stepping into a beautiful retreat—you’re being welcomed into a way of life built on stewardship, simplicity, and soul.

Privileged to be on Thunghutti/Dungutti Country, Ellerslie Farm is situated on the Macleay River, 15 minutes from Kempsey, (home of Akubra hats and the Slim Dusty Center) and 35 minutes from the beaches of Crescent Head. An ex-dairy farm, Ellerslie Farm has been in our family for over 150 years and is now run as a beef and crop production. This place is special to us and we want to share it with you. Pass the old cottage and sheds and drive down to the grassy river flats to our camping grounds right on the river. Plenty of casuarina and banksia trees for shade, the flat is long and faces west for the most beautiful sunsets. Watch the abundant bird life, go fishing or canoeing and you might even get a visit from a resident cow or 2. Best of all...just relax.

27km from Kumbatine State Conservation Area · 1 site · Tent, RV
After years of welcoming campers to experience the magic of the Pappinbarra River, we're moving to our next chapter in nearby Beechwood. Oakvale Cattle Farm is now for sale.
If you've ever dreamed of running your own farm stay or eco-tourism venture, this could be your chance. The property has the 1.5km of this beautiful river frontage you've been enjoying, platypus habitat, established gardens, and all the infrastructure to continue (or expand) what we've built here.
The homestead has dual living areas - perfect for hosting guests while keeping your private family space. There's also productive pasture land, irrigation security, solar power, and everything you'd need to create a thriving regenerative farm and nature-based tourism business.
Price guide $1.75m - $1.9m. If you're someone who's been camping with Hipcamp and thinking "I could do this myself," reach out. We're happy to show serious buyers around and share everything we've learned about this place and hosting on Hipcamp. See our website for more info.
We're halfway between Sydney and Brisbane and only 45 minutes from Port Macquarie Airport.
This is PRIVATE camping. Once you book you have the whole site to yourself. You'll only have to share the river with whoever you bring with you and us!
It's off-grid stuff - no power, no showers, little to no phone reception but one of the most peaceful places you can experience.
There will sometimes be cattle in the paddock - so to make this plain there could be cow poo around your area. If that is a worry to you, it's best you camp on a farm without livestock. If you do camp with us, and our cows are in the paddock, they are friendly and won't hurt you, though they can be quite inquisitive. We endeavor to keep our moo friends in other paddocks, but this is a working farm and we have to manage our pastures and put our animals where they are able to be safe and have enough food to stay healthy.
If you're here at the right time of year, you might catch a Bass or see a Platypus (but only if you're very, very quiet). There is a lot of bird life (Kingfishers, Wrens, Finches amongst others), reptiles (water dragons and lace monitors), and - of course - our farm animals.
Getting away from it all starts right here at Oakvale Cattle Farm.

Nestled on 120 acres of private riverfront along the pristine Wilson River, Watt Family Farm River Sanctuary offers a rare escape into nature. This exclusive, self-sufficient sanctuary is designed for discerning campers seeking seclusion, tranquility, and breathtaking beauty. With just one campsite on the entire property, guests enjoy unrivaled privacy and an intimate connection to nature that few places can offer.
Greet the Estate’s homegrown cattle and horses as they graze peacefully in open paddocks. Light a campfire under the stars. Wander along the riverbank. Wake to birdsong and golden light filtering through the trees. Throw in a line from the private rustic jetty. Spend your days splashing in the river, kayaking along calm bends, towing a donut behind the boat or simply unwinding beneath towering river oak.
Mark and Tracey Watt are the custodians of this property along the Wilson, building a life rooted in hard work, rural heritage, and deep respect for the natural environment. Alongside their renowned cutting horse program (Australian Cutting Horse Co.), the property also supports their paddock-to-plate cattle program and a handful of chickens, creating a vibrant, working landscape full of life and purpose.
Now, as they look toward retirement, Mark and Tracey are embracing a more sustainable, self-sufficient, and eco-conscious lifestyle. Their vision for Watt Family Farm River Sanctuary is simple yet profound: to share the peace and beauty of this land with others—without compromising its integrity.
Their care for every corner of the 120-acre sanctuary is evident in every detail, right down to the thoughtfully placed campsite along the river. As guests, you’re not just stepping into a beautiful retreat—you’re being welcomed into a way of life built on stewardship, simplicity, and soul.
With no crowds, noise, or compromise, this is elevated camping.

Retaining the peace and tranquillity of our property is important to us and why the number of sites and campers is limited. Although there are designated camping spots we're happy to be flexible if you arrive and would like to relocate within our extensive 'camping area' ...depending on weather conditions and respecting the personal space of other campers.
We have livestock (currently cattle) running throughout the property.
Dogs are welcome if they remain well controlled, tethered or on a leash - this is for the safety of your pet as well as the livestock and wildlife.
You will see and hear all kinds of wildlife, particularly morning and evening when they are most active.

Immerse yourself in nature as you camp beside our friendly cows, swim, fish or kayak in the Hastings river, hike our trails, or forage in our wild orchards.
All of our sites are secluded as our property is large, we invite you to our peaceful piece of countryside for a self contained camping trip with all the convenience of town just minutes away.
Cameron's Falls is a historic site, the 'falls', really just gentle rapids, are the original river crossing site for horse drawn vehicles to travel from Port Macquarie/Wauchope inland to Beechwood and beyond. Today we are a hobby farm with cows, horses - we invite you to say hello, but please don't feed any of the animals. If we are here to greet you on arrival you can fill up with potable rain water at our cottage.
The Hastings is still tidal at our place so the access and flow varies throughout the day - we generally take our littlest kids down at low tide. Swim, fish or explore our hiking trails though the old growth riparian vegetation along winding creeks. If you are into birds you will see plenty here - in the last 12 months we have counted nearly 100 different species on our property!

We had an amazing time staying at bundilla. We booked size 1 with power and from the moment we drove in and saw the camp grounds we were hyped. The grounds are so beautifully kept and very spacious. The farm tour is an absolute must! We went twice whilst on our trip and our kids fell in love with all the animals Cheryl was an amazing host and made us all feel very welcome. It was the best place for our little family we created so many memories and kyaking something none of us had ever done was a blast! We also got to bring our fur baby along with us and I think he even had an amazing time. Thankyou so much Rick & Cheryl we had the best time and will definitely be back soon!

We absolutely loved coming out to Bundilla River Camp. It was a beautiful location on the river, well maintained spaces with great amenities (the stickers on the toilet are hilarious), heaps of extras for the kids and adults to keep busy (the kayaks were lots of fun) and enough space for privacy. Cheryl is a cracker, and the farm tour was 110% worth it. The goat wearing the Mexican man was the highlight. Can’t wait to come back soon.

We had such a great stay here and will definitely be back. The property has heaps of space, so you’re not on top of other campers, and the grass is lush, green, and really well looked after — perfect for setting up and letting the kids run around.
The swimming hole was a standout. Super clean, refreshing, and an awesome spot to cool off during the day. The two pit toilets were also a pleasant surprise — both were clean, well maintained, and clearly looked after regularly.
What really made the stay though were the hosts. They go above and beyond, delivering firewood straight to your site and even offering fresh eggs, which was a great touch. You can tell they genuinely care about the experience.
The kids absolutely loved it too — feeding the animals each day was a highlight and something they’re still talking about.
All up, a really relaxed, family-friendly spot with great hosts and everything you need for a quality camping trip.
