Blue Hole Riverside Camp (via Castle Doyle Rd) is located 10 minutes out of Armidale and provides sunny, cleared acres to camp by the riverside with peaceful surrounds and total relaxation. Easy access to the river to swim, fish, kayak or canoe. A short two minute drive (approx 3kms) to the beautiful Blue Hole Picnic Area and Gara Gorge offers swimming, picnic seating, BBQ and bush walking in a scenic bush setting with clean toilets. Armidale is home to many gorges and national parks like no other region. Dangars falls is a stunning waterfall with a picnic area. This rural property suits self sufficient campers only with own drinking water and shower/toilet amenities. All campers must take their rubbish with them leaving no trace - no bins provided. Please note that wifi is limited in this camping area by the river. You will find certain spots around the area that will work more efficiently. We do not offer wifi. Take your time to relax by a fire and enjoy the serenity! The "Reynella" Hut is now available to stay in. This well appointed, fully renovated hut is a studio with a queen bed, lounge area, tv, kitchen, bathroom/laundry, front deck with a bbq and views to die for!! This provides all the luxuries with a rustic charm embracing a peaceful getaway with a magnificent outlook.

Beautifully kept site alongside the river. We were the only people there so our dog had a wonderful time exploring off leash. The river access was a little tricky down a steep grassy bank but was deep (I couldn’t touch bottom) and very refreshing for a swim on a hot day. There was easier access to shallower section further along Our hosts were very friendly & helpful , all in all a lovely place to stay. Highly recommended

My first Hipcamp and I absolutely loved this place. Beautiful little creek, level maintained campground, close to many beautiful things to see and do. Serenity at its best. I will definitely be back. Thankyou Kelly

Hosts Shane and Kelly were amazingly welcoming. The campsite was beautiful and private with absolute river frontage. It is the perfect location to base yourselves to explore this amazing area. We will definitely be back.

Sean has a fantastic property with a unique river / dam and ideal camping areas with privacy, clean mown grass and a platypus. This was a special stay, and swimming in the river was bliss with easy access, smooth rocks and deep waters. Sean is a special guy, with visions and a very interesting skill in constructing properties that can cool and heat naturally. It is a shame he is not PM! I noticed a Tiny Home and an Air BnB house at the other end of the property over the hill. An amazing discovery in many ways!

Booked last minute for an overnight stay in a tent. Kelly was a very responsive and lovely host! The site is a big field by the water and absolutely beautiful. The water was a bit low at this time of year but still a nice retreat from the heat.
