What a fantastic spot. Felt like we had the world to ourselves. The river was fantastic to cool off. Massive storm came through and Kate came and set up a Marquee for us. Always on call and always incredibly helpful. We had the most magic Christmas!

Brilliant spot. One camper at a time. Quiet, sheltered, gazebo with a 12volt supply and seating and barby, fire pit, potable water available, phone reception, immaculate (if that word applies to loos) composting toilet . Damien great guy, offered solutions to a power issue I had, and left us to enjoy his property. If you haven’t had the opportunity to visit here, do so, it rates amongst the very best we have been at in 20+ years.

2 nights at Absolute Beachfront Patchs Beach

Beautiful spot with a huge area to camp, lots of soft, flat ground. Beach is a short walk down a well marked track. I would definitely recommend if you like to be alone in nature, rather than surrounded by other campers. The beach is beautiful too and feels like you have it all to yourself.

This spot was great. The camping space is surrounded by greenery and there is lots of wildlife around! At night you can hear the waves as you’re going to sleep, and the beach is only a 3minute walk away. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Great experience and would love to go back!

We loved Ken and Ann’s beautiful property. The facilities were nice and clean. We felt safe and comfortable 🥰 They are beautiful hosts, flexible and caring. The green around us was stunning. Ken took as for a walk around the property which has its own little forest and generously share his knowledge about native plants. They also took us to an aboriginal site and teach us about the place. We are so grateful for this stay. Thank you both! I will be coming back soon for sure 💙

Thankyou for considering Dungarubba Fields. We offer you a well located and secure camp-site to explore the North Coast or for that overnight stay while you are travelling to your destination and need a safe place to camp. Our four campsites are spacious and are freshly mown flat grassed sites. Each campsite has 1 or 2 stone circles for campfires, with free kindling and free firewood supplied to all campsites. Whether you are a single traveller, a couple, family or group booking we have the campsite for you. We are family friendly and dog friendly. Dungarubba Fields is a private, rural setting on six acres on Bundjalung country. Four of our camp sites are situated across a small bridge in the back paddock, and one camp site is situated just before the bridge for those self driving campervans with a wider wheel-base. The paddock was once cleared and in recent years we have planted and cared for over 100 new Koala and rainforest trees. After the Northern Rivers floods of 2022 we are now continuing the bush regeneration beside the Dungarubba wetland which borders our property. Our camp-sites offer shade, space, wildlife and birdlife. Campfires are allowed 12 months a year depending on fire ratings and local conditions except on days of Total Fire Ban and the preceding evening going into a Total Fire Ban. We supply the free firewood to each campsite as we understand how important the campfire is to the camping experience. Outside the fire season we can supply a readymade Bonfire at an additional cost to your booking. Hipcampers can access fresh drinking water (rainwater) from our rainwater tanks, with an accessible tap near our home. Hipcampers have access to a downstairs flushing toilet at the house. We offer a Portaloo for larger group bookings situated beside your camp site as an optional extra for an additional cost. The Portaloo needs to be booked when you make your booking. The house on the property was originally built in 1903 as the Catholic Church of the nearby locality Riley's Hill. In the 1940’s it was moved to the current site after low attendance by parishioners who didn’t want to have to row across the Richmond River and get their feet wet to attend Mass. The church sold the building in the 1980’s and it was raised off the ground with two new wings attached on either side to become a private residence. The sugar cane and soybeans, however more surrounding land is being planted to Macadamia nuts which will change the look of the landscape in future. During May to November of an evening, you can look out for the occasional cane fire which is a historic part of the harvesting of sugar. The Richmond River and boat ramp is a short 2 minutes drive for both fishing and water skiing. The Broadwater National Park with sand-dunes and a fishing beach is only a 10 minute drive away. The Pacific Highway is 7 minutes drive away. The beautiful coastal village of Evans Head with shops, a medical clinic and a patrolled beach is just a 15 minutes drive. The nearest townships are Broadwater (2 fuel stations and a pub under new management), Coraki (junction of 2 rivers), Woodburn (pub with a bistro and a laundrette) and Evans Head (a township with most services). We are a 45 minutes drive to Byron Bay and 25 minutes to the coastal city of Ballina up the Pacific Highway or 25 minutes drive inland to the city of Lismore. We welcome friendly dogs and there is plenty of space for them to run around and chase balls or other dogs. Our dog Stella is a 4 year old Blue Heeler, who greets people from the balcony barking as you drive in. Don’t let the barking fool you as she loves visitors and their dogs. We expect owners to be responsible for their dogs and in particularly when there are Koalas close by. We ask dogs not to roam at night as Koalas are nocturnal (and so are other critters) and night-time is when they choose their food tree for the next day and roam around. We are in Core Koala Habitat and love our koalas, we hope you do too. We look forward to hosting you and in creating a sensational camping experience for you. Lise and Pete Dungarubba Fields.
