Waterfront camping
Jan and Allan made us feel welcome on arrival. The property is just superbly well kept. Jan and Allan have thought of everything to make our stay even better. Use of clean toilets and showers. Access to water and power. Supplied firewood and fire pit. Use of a dog enclosure if you want to explore without your dog. So much wildlife from birds, lizards and if you’re lucky like us dolphins. Such a relaxing place to be sitting beside the water. Thank you having us. We’ll definitely love to come back.

Enjoyable weekend stay by Big River
What a great weekend we have just had at the Big River View. Jan and Alan are excellent hosts and, as it was quiet, we camped at the cubby house pitch, though both sites are equally excellent. On-site toilets and showers also superb (latter beats our pull-out shower any day). Alan had prepared the campsite fire pit and grill, which we used all three evenings, wondering why we never used one before, very enjoyable. We were also able to take our kayak directly onto the river from our pitch. Overall a splendid, relaxing weekend and one we will add to our revisit list. Plenty of wildlife around, especially the local kangaroos. Much thanks Steve and Masy

Waterfront site Near and Far Yamba
We really enjoyed camping at the Waterfront site at Near and Far Yamba. The camp site was flat and nicely grassed and situated right on the river. Views were beautiful particularly at sunrise and sunset and the stars were great, lots of kangaroos and birdlife. Plenty of space to set up, and easy access to launch kayaks and fish from the shore. Power, water, a sink for washing up, and a good sized stainless steel table are all provided. A good sized fire pit and firewood are also provided. The amenities are in the hosts home and are kept very clean. The hosts Alan and Jan are friendly and approachable. Great beaches 10 to 15 minutes away at Yamba and Angourie. The Pacific hotel at Yamba is a great spot for a few beers and the Wobbly Chook has good meals and craft beers.

Great spot along the river.
Great spot to camp on the river, quiet location and yet still not for from Yamba. Plenty of good fishing spots along Oyster channel, with lots of wildlife around the area, birds, Kangaroos, crabs, fish. Amenities were very clean and tidy, plenty of room for the kids to explore and ride bikes around. Hosts were very welcoming and gave great information about the local area. Will definitely be back again as the whole family enjoyed their stay. Thanks

Amazing place. Loved it
This was the best camp experience we have had. We were a group of 4 and two dogs and it is the most serene and beautiful spot for a quiet getaway. The grounds are park land like and Jan and Allen were the most gracious and thoughtful hosts. Spotlessly clean toilets, shower and laundry facilities. Loved Allen and Jan popping past our site for a chat and advice on the area. We will be regulars here. Five stars from us. Thanks heaps Jan and Allen for welcoming us all onto your stunning property.
