You will come here to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of `Black Mountain'. `Black Mountain’ is on Gumbainggir country. It is a registered conservation property bordering Nymboida River and Nymboi-Binderay National Park. Alastair and I have shared the property for more than 25 years and consider ourselves custodians of this precious place. Visitors enjoy: the pristine river; walking tracks through diverse terrain; starry night skies and campfires. Previous guests recommend staying at least two nights to soak up the atmosphere and explore the area. Choose from the 'Ant Shack' or four adjacent campsites with easy access and views to the Nymboida River. Shared facilities include a hot shower and composting toilets. You can walk, swim and kayak, explore the area or just relax for days. We can’t accommodate domestic animals or allow fishing, not even catch and release because we protect our wildlife and the endangered Eastern Cod. Black Mountain is remote but just 60 kilometres from Grafton or Coffs (via back way). 2WD access to our house is from Nymboida only. 4WD/AWD from Lowanna or Glenreagh and 4WD/AWD down to the river/campsite area - Not suitable for caravans. All proceeds from Airbnb and Hipcamp are invested in the continuing conservation of Black Mountain.

We loved the site, especially our lovely hosts Alaistair and Merryl, who were so considerate to lend us additional camping gear. The amenities were good. Overall, we had an enjoyable stay.

Black Mountain 4WD - Eagle's Nest
Amazing spot.
My group booked Eagles Nest and Myrtle Terrace for the Easter long weekend and couldn't ask for a better spot, they are the perfect fit if you have a group of 6-10 people with around 4 vehicles. The river entrance has a perfect spot for small kids and then opens up to a much larger wider and deeper section. We used the the Kayaks that were made available The amenities block is probably the best I've ever seen for Hip Camp. And Marlene and Alistair are very welcoming. We definitely be back

Black Mountain 4/ALLWD- Drongo Dell
Best camp ever
Can’t recommend this place enough, 3rd visit in 6 months, camp sites are amazing with fresh rainwater and firewood supplied to your camp, table and tap on each site and the amenities block is great, awesome shower and the composting toilets are second to none, clean and odour free. Thanks to the hosts for sharing your beautiful property.

We think this would be a great place to camp in winter, They have spent a lot of time on the very good facilities, and even left a handbook with the local walks and things to do for you to read in the shower block. They also leave Kayaks for you to use in the river. We did find it very hard to relax though with the deafening noise from the cicadas from dawn to dusk which only became bearable when it rained. There is obviously nothing the hosts can do to control this though! Maybe bring earplugs (like we did) if you are camping in summer.
