"The Riverbank" is only 7.5 kilometres and an easy 8 minute drive off the M1. The rich green land supports a small beef raising enterprise and the cattle graze in surrounding paddocks. We are pet friendly however only for those pets that live in harmony with our farm animals. We offer 2 powered sites with water hookup and 2 unpowered drive through sites without water connection; our brand new magnificently appointed camp kitchen and bathroom ammenities are available to all who stay. We are caravan, campervan and motorhome friendly but do not offer swag only or tent sites. Campfires can be enjoyed through the cooler months and when permitted by the Rural Fire Service Unfortunately our 3 metre cliff face river frontage prevents access to the river for activities such as boating or kayaking; nor do we offer farm style adventures. "The Riverbank" as a destination for a relaxing time to unwind or a base from which to explore the beautiful Hastings area. The Abundance Nursery and Cafe with it's splendid lily pond view is a great spot to enjoy a meal or a coffee and only 3 kms back along Rawdon Island road. The pretty country town of Wauchope is only a 12 minute drive and is home to Timbertown, a theme park boasting steam train rides and a glimpse of the timber getting industry of a bygone era. Drop into the Vibe Coffee House, pick up "the best" coffee and a sensational meal before perusing the many treasures of Wauchope's specialty shops. A day trip to the Comboyne plateu is a rewarding experience and enhanced by enjoying a meal at the magnificant Byabarra Cafe on your way through. Whilst the meals equall those of any capital city restaurant, the view of the valley will take your breath away. And then; there's Port Macquarie (20 mins) and sorrounds! one of the most scenic and attraction packed areas of Australia's eastern seaboard. Stunning beaches, amazing walks, top class restaurants, the list goes on. The nearest Dump Points are locacted in Wauchope (12 minutes) or Port Macquarie (20 minutes)

Site 4 - Pasture and Persimmon

Absolutely loved our stay. The amenities are genuinely the best I’ve seen on our trip down the east cost and Matthew is one of the nicest host I’ve met while Travelling. He’s always reachable if need help or have questions, The Campground is very beautiful and the amenities are modern and as clean as possible. I can only recommend if you’re looking for a campground in the area of Port Macquarie stay here !

Site 2 - Orchard Water View

It's Perfect. Trust me.

This is absolutely the loveliest place I've stayed in Australia. Host Matt and his wife have spared absolutely no expense in creating a luxurious and serene environment in a gorgeous corner of NSW. Stepping down from the cab of my Motorhome onto the lush, springy, vividly green turf was a real pleasure. My dog Fred simply couldn't get enough of it. He was immediately back in 'puppy' mode, clearly reveling in this gorgeous environment. The sense of peace and quiet is palpable. Even though this campsite is nestled in the middle of what is clearly working farmland it is as though a bubble of protection has been inflated around the place. The occasional gentle hum of distant farm machinery seems as soothing as the lazy meandering of a small herd of cows in a nearby field. The purpose-built amenities structure is both built and fitted out beautifully - the shower and toilets are nicer than in most Australian homes - this is no exaggeration. The kitchen area has everything you could wish for, beautifully appointed, and runs out onto a gorgeous decking area overlooking the river. Hand on heart; this place is fiercely under-priced and I cannot possibly recommend it highly enough. It's a slice of whichever heaven you subscribe to, nestled in the NSW countryside. Fred (the dog) and I absolutely LOVE it. We can't wait to go back.

10/10, A Must-visit For Everyone!

I would highly recommend this place, it has amazing facilities that are stylish, functional and clean. A short distance from town if you wish to go in for a meal. Overall we felt very safe here, the surrounds weren’t very busy, the views were amazing and the shared complex was beautiful and well kept. I couldn’t be happier with our experience here.
