MaMiKa Herefords
3 sites · RVs, Tents380 acres · Gloucester, NSW
An exclusive, natural camping experience.
Our property is located on the beautiful Gloucester River under the picturesque Bucketts Mountains. The river is a fresh mountain river running from the foothills of Barrington Tops.
We are an active beef cattle farm. We run approximately 130 head of cattle. You will see our herds of cattle across the paddocks, which includes pregnant cows, young cattle, our calves, and of course Bentley our bull. We will endeavour to run our cattle outside of the paddocks containing the campsites, however in the event we need to use these paddocks, the campsite will be secured by temporary electric fencing to ensure your safety.
For this reason, we ONLY allow dogs to stay if they remain on a lead or tethered run at all times. If a dog is sighted off a leash, you will be asked to leave, and you will not be refunded any visit.
The Bucketts are within the country belonging to the Biripi and Worimi peoples, with Gloucester being known as Mookibakh. In the native language, the Bucketts mountains (the Buccan Buccan) means the “father of stones looking down on sacred land.” We certainly think you will agree when you see our beautiful campsites!
Most of the year the river is lovely and clear and ideal for swimming, fishing, photography or just enjoying. There is also some really nice bike riding and walking opportunities around the Gloucester Memorial Park. We are a short 5 minute drive from Gloucester CBD with lovely cafes and shops. We are approximately 1 hour 15 minutes from Barrington Tops should you wish to visit.
You are likely to see a variety of birdlife including Wedgetail Eagles, Black Cockatoos, Black Shouldered Kites, Kookaburras and Butcher Birds. You may also see some native animals including kangaroos, possums, echidnas and you may even see a platypus or turtle in the river, if you are lucky!

Also be sure to bring your telescope as you’ll be amazed at the stargazing at night with no light pollution or other pollution for that matter. The night sky is truly a sight to see with clear viewings of the Milky Way, Southern Cross, Scorpion and Orion’s Belt. Countless hours could be spent watching the stars and looking for constellations.
Our property is ideal for self-contained vans, camper trailers, medium motor homes, tents or swags, it’s up to you. There are no toilets so only suitable if you have your own toilet facilities and take away all waste when you leave.

There is no rubbish collection on the campsites. You will be required to take all rubbish off the property when you leave. No rubbish can be burnt in any campfires at all. There is bins in the township of Gloucester.
There is also no fresh water on supply for our campers. You should bring sufficient water with you before entering the property. The river is melted mountain ice, ad rain fall run off, hence you can drink it if you are satisfied with its purity. However, we do not provide drinking or potable water.
You will have very good mobile and internet coverage across the property.
Besides Gloucester, Dungog and historic Stroud village are nearby as well as Barrington Tops World Heritage wilderness area and national park.

NB - the following is fire season depedent. We do also have some limited bags of firewood for sale at $20 a bag - let us know when you book if you need some. You can also bring your own firewood if you wish. It is essential that you ensure the fire is completely out before leaving the fire. Our campsites are in active paddocks and hence the risk of fire spreading is real. We trust our campers to make sure the fire is either put out with water or has completely died out.
When you make a reservation at the property we will always endeavour to put you in your preferred location as best we can. However if we are impacted by adverse weather or need to run cattle on certain parts of the farm then we may need to make a change to the actual site you are in and trust you understand.
Additionally, offer farm tours which include hand feeding of cattle, an overview of the operation and some interesting facts on running a breeding cattle farm. The farm tours are $50 for 2 people for an hour. Extra people are $10 per head to a max of 4 people per tour.
