    Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
    Off-leash friendly
    Pets can be off-leash at some sites.
    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.

    The Overnighter

    85% (13)
    RV/tent site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 35 ft
    We only offer this site when all other sites are booked or if a camper needs to be closer to the toilet, such as if they have young children. The site has sun and shade and is closest to the host's home, about 40 metres away. This site has the closest walk to the downstairs toilet, a flushing toilet available for the campers. There is a tap at the back of our home with rainwater available for campers drinking water. The Overnighter site has its own campfire area away from the trees and the lawn is mown when you arrive. This site has koala visitors occasionally. Dogs are required to be on leash at night-time when the nocturnal koalas move between trees. There is an off-leash area in our back paddock just over the small bridge, shared with other campers and any of their dogs.

    Lisa and Peter, the hosts, are consistently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness, often providing firewood and advice about the area. The campsite is appreciated for its peacefulness and privacy, making it a great spot for a tranquil getaway. However, many reviews mention the presence of mosquitoes and muddy conditions during wet weather as drawbacks. Overall, guests seem to have an enjoyable experience, with many expressing a desire to return.

    The location was quite nice, but unfortunately the wet weather made our experience less enjoyable due to the frequent showers and muddy conditions, mostly on the track into the campsites. Lisa and Peter were friendly and helpful hosts however. They provided firewood and made a portaloo available for our use.

    Lisa and Peter were very friendly and helpful hosts! It was very wet when I visited but they still provided firewood and let me park my van in an area closer to their house as I was concerned about my van getting bogged in the wet. Lisa provided several helpful suggestions about things to do and see in the area as well as beyond. Would definitely recommend to others!

    2 Night Stay with Koalas

    Mahogany - Family Camping Site
    Stayed for 2 nights in the Mahogany area, plenty of room, and private. There was a portaloo not far from our site, clean with plenty of toilet paper, hand soap, hand towel and water. If you're not patrons would close the seat it would smell a little better. It was a bit rainy but not to bad, the mosquitoes were friendly but bearable, and we spotted a koala in the trees behind us. All in all a great 2 nights stay! Thankyou Lisa!

    Wonderful campsite for a larger group, the campsites are well sized and spread out from one another. Peter was a fantastic host, topping up our firewood each day and collecting rubbish for us. We even saw a Koala up in the tree by our site which was so special! thank you for having us :)

    We enjoyed our stay at River Gum, the camping area was well maintained with flat mowed blocks and a great amount of space between sites. Free firewood was provided and rubbish removed for us which was appreciated. Toilets weren't the best, if you had your own, your stay would be more pleasant. Kids loved feeding the goats and seeing other animals, but dogs did bark at night a bit. Hosts were both very friendly and approachable. Thanks Jared & Lucy

    We had a nice level campsite, firepit with firewood and kindling thoughtfully provided (even though we didn't take advantage of it). Spent one day relaxing at campsite, one day exploring Gold Coast and beaches. Do recommend bringing mosquito repellent (to be expected when camping near a river!). And if driving a wide caravan, mind the narrow bridge.
