Our third site, Creek Bend, is not so private but is the most central and conveniently located for proximity to the swimming hole and cascade, and gaining access with big campervans.
Please know that the swimming hole is always full, and the creek is permanent not seasonal, but low rainfall can cause it to stop flowing in some spots occasionally.

At The Good Life, we’re big on personal space. Every campsite is large, private and genuinely secluded, giving you the feeling you’re a long way from everyone and everything. Your own patch of paradise. No caravan awnings poking you in the eye, no surprise drop-ins, and no listening to your neighbour’s snoring, generator or life story. Bliss.
Forget your phone alarm. Your morning wake-up call is the local kookaburra choir having a proper laugh at life. This is a true back-to-nature escape for anyone needing to pull up a stump, slow right down and properly unplug. If bird watching, stargazing or simply doing sweet nothing is your idea of a good time, you’ll fit right in.
Dogs are very welcome. Keep them on a lead while you’re wandering the property, then let them be their goofy, happy selves back at camp. Campfires are practically mandatory. Every site has its own fire pit, and if you burn through your firewood faster than a pollie breaks a promise, we can sort you out with more for a small fee.
Now for a quick reality check. We’re not the Hilton. In fact, we don’t provide any amenities at all. No toilets, no showers, no bins. Think of The Good Life as a safe, private slice of bush that feels like the middle of nowhere, because it pretty much is. You’ll need to be fully self-contained and take everything you bring in back out with you. Leave only footprints and good memories.
What you do with your time is entirely up to you. Park yourself in a camp chair with a book, wander the farm, or lace up your boots and explore around 70 acres of bush tracks. When night falls, the stars put on a serious show and the silence is so complete you can actually hear yourself think.
There’s no phone service and no Wi-Fi. Consider it a feature, not a bug. It’s the perfect excuse to ignore your emails.
If you feel like venturing out, the Orara Valley and Coffs Coast offer stunning rainforests, beaches, waterfalls and swimming holes, all within a 30-minute drive.

I had a lovely time camping on Richard's property. He is such a generous host and has lived a fascinating life. I would have liked to have had more time to chat with him but there's always next time. Waking to the sounds of birdsong and saying hello to the kangaroo next to my trailer on arrival back one night were highlights.

My girlfriend and I stayed here for two nights and absolutely loved it. The whole property is beautiful and peaceful, with the river right nearby making it an amazing place to relax and switch off.
One of the highlights was definitely the free kayaks they have set up by the river for guests to use whenever they like. We took them out and went down the river, which was so much fun and easily one of our favourite parts of the stay.
Overall, it’s a gorgeous location with a really relaxed atmosphere. We had a great couple of days here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with a bit of adventure as well. Would happily stay again!

This was the best camping spot we have ever stayed and it has all the things that i wanted to experience and relax… And the coolest part is that the host Luara is too kind and welcoming that you would feel like visiting again for their hospitality.
This is my top 1 camping spot till now.

We spent two nights here and it was flipping fantastic. We were right by the water and the gentle sounds of the water coming in with the tide was so relaxing. There was plenty of privacy and we had a tonne of space to ourselves.
One morning we hopped on a kayak and went across to the old butter factory for breakfast which was an unexpected and cool adventure.
We camped here in winter, and it was really really cold with a frost one morning, but coming here in summer would be so fun. there's a rope swing across the river in the deep section.
The camping is great, probably a bit overpriced for what it was, but we had a great time regardless.
Ben was a great host, and definitely loves a chat too so be ready lol.

What a beautiful spot we had, felt like in the middle of the bush all by ourselves. Just wish we could have stayed longer. Hosts were lovely and very welcoming. Loved everything about this stay.

Absolutely fantastic visit. Gorgeous, peaceful escape. Sam was incredibly kind- we booked a very last minute farm tour for the next morning and he was hilarious, full of great stories and was a real highlight for our farmer friends visiting from Ireland. Bought burgers from the farm shop - delicious!! Highly recommend the whole experience.

The reviews DO NOT LIE! we stayed at Pebbly Beach and had the most amazing time. The water is crystal clear, its spacious and private and the hot bath was a godsend. Laura was kind and accommodating, and I'm already trying to book in again!
