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.

Heartwood Farm is a centrally located 120 acres on the Mid-North Coast - about halfway between Sydney and Brisbane, only 1.5 kms off Pacific Highway, 25 mins to Port Macquarie, 15 Mins to Kempsey, 30 minutes to Crescent Head and 45 mins to South West Rocks.
We are off grid and live close to nature and enjoy the abundance that provides. We have been building and developing for the last few years. We are still a work in progress.
There are three Brumbies that live over the fence and 5 other horses that will no doubt come and say hello. They are all friendly, especially if you have a carrot. There are also a lot of kangaroos and wallabies, some quite friendly as they have been raised by our neighbour who does animal rescue. There are also a lot of different species of birds, including the much-loved Black Cockatoos which are in abundance here. We have also seen turtles, frilled neck lizards, diamond pythons, red belly black snakes (rarely) and goannas.

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.
We're selling at $1.999M. If you're someone who's been camping with various Hipcamp hosts 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.

This is a great campsite, particularly for families. It has nice clean toilets, a beautiful spot on the river, and the ability to have all kids bikes, kayaks etc. already there to use is a massive plus. Our site (8) had it's own little pathway to the river, but the whole sore can easily access the river. The hosts are really friendly, making the food and having ice blocks for the kids on hot days. I suspect this will become a regular for us - thank you for having us Cheryl and Rick!

Rick & Cheryl were amazing hosts. We stayed 2 nights & they came to each camp site offering wood for $10 for the fire pits that are at each site. Their daughter Nicole also offers delicious treats such as Brownies, shortbread, Lemon cake plus so much more & they are so good!
We stayed on power site 1 which was right next to the walk way down to the river. You could hear the river through the night. It was very relaxing.
I can't wait for our next stay at Bundilla.

Tom’s campsite, The Bend, was an absolute delight. The directions were clear and easy to follow, which made arriving stress‑free. Once there, I was genuinely impressed by how beautifully cared for the grounds were — everything felt clean, comfortable and thoughtfully maintained. Although we didn’t get to use it, there was plenty of firewood provided for a fire at night under the stars.
Tom himself is a standout host. He has a real wealth of knowledge about the surrounding area and is more than happy to show you around or share tips on what to explore on his land. His passion for the place adds so much to the experience.
Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a peaceful, well‑kept campsite with a host who truly goes above and beyond.

Rick and Cheryl are the perfect hosts and you can see the live and care they have for the land and for people to have a great time.

A beautiful riverside spot with a relaxing atmosphere and the sound of the river flowing through. We had the whole site to ourselves, which made it feel extra private and peaceful. Great location too, around 20 minutes from Wauchope and about an hour to Ellenborough Falls. The hosts were wonderful, friendly, caring, and very approachable. When the weather turned and we got a decent amount of rain, they checked in and offered assistance if we needed it. Really lovely people and a great stay.
Morning crew would walk past bellow Moo and keep on going. Just a gorgeous place.
