170 acre working cattle farm with approx 1km Esplanade river frontage along the mighty Macleay. 10 minutes drive to South West Rocks which has some of the best beaches in Australia. Not far to the surfing Mecca of Crescent Head and beaches at Hat Head. Only 6 minutes drive to the villages of Smithtown and Gladstone, renowned for their cafes, galleries and friendly pubs. Activities include, fishing on your doorstep. Up close experiences with farm animals including chickens, cows, our friendly horse, Giraffe. The property has 3 of the oldest and largest Morton Bay Fig trees in this area. Please note at this stage there are no toilet/bathroom facilities so we would recommend for those with self contained van set up.Experience a magnificent rural outlook whilst enjoying river views. The closest beach Horseshoe Bay, South West Rocks only a short 13km’s away. Surrounding beaches include, Hat Head, Crescent Head, Stuarts Point and Grassy Head. Ideal location for fishing and crabbing on site. This is a working farm and owner lives on the property. Undercover area in old dairy bales can be used with Picnic ( trestle) table , running water and lighting. Small, well controlled pets may be considered upon request. Perfect for a one night stop over or longer stays.

11/10 absolutely loved this Hipcamp
Ash’s Hipcamp is beautiful. It is a brilliant alternative to South West Rocks which was packed on a long weekend…we had peace and serenity on Summer Island. Ash was a wonderful host and we learned lots about cattle from him. We loved meeting Giraffe, Bella and the chooks. We explored the local villages and SW Rocks which is about 10 mins drive away. Got to see whales migrating north from the viewpoint at lighthouse, did a lovely beach walk, saw loads of dolphins, fished and ate the most beautiful fresh prawns for lunch (bought at Ball’s Butchery in Paragon Ave). Also saw a Jabiru aka black necked stork. Thanks for your hospitality, Ash & Karlene

Absolutely amazing spot. Thank-you Ash for your wonderful hospitality. I would definitely recommend River Stay Farm to anyone looking for a relaxing, truly authentic farm stay. My only complaint was that we only had one night to spend here. We will definitely be back for a longer stay next time. Thanks again Ash.

Amazing!
This was our first time off grid in our caravan, and it was a wonderful, easy, beautiful experience. The property is stunning, easily accessible and Ash is unbelievably hospitable. The views are extraordinary, and you have the river right across the road to enjoy as well.
