Offering 40 acres of Melaleuca Forest with two rivers just three minutes drive away. It's peaceful and full of birds singing during the day, with farmlands surrounding it. There are no facilities, so campers need to be fully self-contained and please take all waste with you. It's untouched and natural. You are welcome to find a suitable spot on the block to set up. The property is 20 drive mins to Yamba and 10 minutes drive to the historic Scottish town of McLean, so makes a great basecamp to explore the area.

5 stars! Amazing views, spacious grassy areas, it was lovely watching all the wallabies relaxing amongst the macadamia trees! This place was quiet, secluded and beautiful, while still being close enough to the coast for day trips, we look forward to coming back! Carolyn and Peter were great hosts 😊

Beautiful property and campsites spaced out among the macadamias so they still feel private. We loved our stay and would absolutely come back. The nuts are delicious and the host was so helpful to show us around and take us to gather firewood!

Great spot! Feels like you’re deep in nature! Overlooking the lake, the sound of huge guns swaying! Definitely recommend! Nice to have a warm shower too (BYO water though, the tank water was a bit rank).

We rate this hipcamp in the top 5 of all the hipcamps we have booked. Great location, flat area, plenty of room and space between sites, beautifully maintained, easy access, nice wide entrance for larger caravans, and great communication from host. Wish we could have stayed longer.

A beautiful, still and quiet place to let go and connect with nature. Kangaroos, gorgeous towering gums and the reflections in the lake all add to the sense of well being. Walking through the forest also feels very connected. The grounds are well kept with the bonus of a bush shower and washing up area. We also appreciated being able to purchase some free range eggs from their chooks. Owners are very kind and generous and respect your privacy. Highly recommended.

It was our second time at this place and once again this place is amazing. Just about 10 min drive to town, 8 minutes to coles and other shops. This place is very private, quiet and peaceful. We will definately come back again and again.

Well maintained site, easy access and only a quick trip off the highway and close to the main road. Perfect for our two night stop to visit with friends. Ample room for to camps, we had three campers during our stay and there was still plenty space to maintain privacy.

A space where you can truly disconnect from life and get back to basics and ground yourself. An inspirational and peaceful place. Facilities were simple and clean, always fire wood, and the jams Traci makes are just delightful. Will be retiring soon — ocean, 4wd tracks and civilisation all just a stones throw away from this unique and simplistic getaway.

What a fantastic area to camp. Pristine grassed area right near the water. Plenty of space to relax fish if you want or do nothing. Not too far to drive to Maclean or Yamba which is near the beach or for shopping at both towns. Ideal for dogs.
