Escape to the tranquil beauty of Cameron's Falls Farm, a 100 acre hobby farm just 5 minutes from Wauchope and 25 minutes from Port Macquarie's beaches. Immerse yourself in nature as you camp beside our friendly cows, swim, fish or kayak in the Hastings river, hike our trails, or forage in our wild orchards. All of our sites are secluded as our property is large, we invite you to our peaceful piece of countryside for a self contained camping trip with all the convenience of town just minutes away. Cameron's Falls is a historic site, the 'falls', really just gentle rapids, are the original river crossing site for horse drawn vehicles to travel from Port Macquarie/Wauchope inland to Beechwood and beyond. Today we are a hobby farm with cows, horses - we invite you to say hello, but please don't feed any of the animals. If we are here to greet you on arrival you can fill up with potable rain water at our cottage. The Hastings is still tidal at our place so the access and flow varies throughout the day - we generally take our littlest kids down at low tide. Swim, fish or explore our hiking trails though the old growth riparian vegetation along winding creeks. If you are into birds you will see plenty here - in the last 12 months we have counted nearly 100 different species on our property!

Amazing spot for a quick overnight stay. Wished we had stayed longer, it would be lovely to stay for a few days and enjoy the peace and farm life. We took our dog who was leashed and comfy. Fire pits available and sites were well maintained. Great stay & easy to get to.

A really beautiful part of the world. It’s quiet, next to a deep creek that runs adjacent to the river. The kids had a great time exploring the area, meeting the dogs Astro and Buddy, as well as the horses.

Weekend Trip to Cameron Falls Farm

Lovely peaceful spot, removed from town traffic and full of native birdlife. Large site with complete privacy. Firepit provided. Overlooks the river, but access to the river is limited to your ability to scramble down a steep, bushy river bank. Our Rhodesian Ridgeback loved the freedom of wandering around the site and was curious, but intimidated by the beautiful cattle that grazed our way from time to time.

Beautiful setting! Lake on one side and beach on the other! The Campgrounds are set on each side of the road north to Forster but this does not detract from a charming and unique spot. The onsite cafe is just beautiful and the site is really well kept overall. We'll be back!

Our stay at Cameron Farm was absolutely lovely, filled with simple joys of rural life. We were welcomed by the gentle moo of cows grazing in the fields. Greeted by playful dogs and was a unique experience to see kangaroos hopping through the landscape. It was a pleasant and memorable time.

I spent two peaceful nights at the Bago View site and loved every minute. The campsite offers stunning views and a quiet, sheltered spot perfect for relaxing. Easy access to the river made fishing a breeze. A great escape into nature highly recommended. The visiting pup was fun as were the cows :)

Great location with plenty of outdoor exploration options. Lake on one side and the beach on the other. Facilities are well maintained and very useful. Just unfortunate that the tent sites are so close to the road with minimal sound barriers.
