Nestled along a picturesque 1-km stretch of the Bellinger River, our camping grounds offer level, grassy sites with open spaces perfect for relaxing and reconnecting with nature. Just a short walk into town, you’ll find a charming milk bar serving fresh fish and chips only 700 meters down the road, or for the adventurous, swim across the river for breakfast or lunch at the iconic Old Butter Factory Cafe. Enjoy complimentary on-site kayaking, fishing right from your camp, and a chance to spot the elusive platypus! A new fence keeps the cows out, so you can relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Facilities include a pit toilet. We welcome pets and families, with free entry for children. Only one vehicle per booking is allowed, though we can easily accommodate group bookings on a single site—just email us to arrange. Caravan hire is also available for added convenience.

We love camping at bellinger river camping. The most wonderful spot close to town with direct river access for a swim. We were fortunate to have the space to ourselves

The camping area was right next to a river where you could swim, go fishing or kayaking. Also the host ensure plenty of firewood was available on the site at no extra cost

Beautiful riverside camping
Dom and Jackie were friendly and welcoming. The sites are large on freshly cut grass next to the river. Kids loved the rope swing into the river. Dogs were happy too. Fire pits and firewood provided. Stayed for 4 nights. Would camp there again!

Camped by the river with fire pit and kayaks supplied. Very nice outlook over the river. Very cute calves too! Thank you for a nice stay.

Beautiful dog friendly tranquil
We had the best time on the river. We were really lucky with beautiful weather and the whole place to ourselves. Easy set up and let the pups off to enjoy roaming around. The fire pit was amazing to keep us warm all day and it didn't take us long to forage from some piles of very dry wood. We had a lovely warm welcome and some cauliflower and snow peas to enjoy. It was a nice stroll into Bellingen and there were lots going on on the Saturday morning before we headed on. Long drop toilet was great and a short walk from all the camp spots. Can't wait to come back when it's warm enough for a swim!
