Vallis Oakes - Red Camp
Red Camp - Amazing!
Vallis Oakes is such a beautiful property. About 1 hour from Macksville as we were towing. We stayed at Red Camp, right on the river and the big swimming hole, with crystal clear water. Amazing waking up to the sounds of running water. 100% would recommend this Hipcamp. One of our favourites we’ve been to!

Vallis Oakes - Red Camp
Magic camp
Beautiful spot & pristine river. So private & off grid. Excellent & responsive hosts. We camped with 2 other families & there is ample flat space. The only small issue was not much shade to camp under so you will definitely need a vehicle or tent with a good awning.

Vallis Oakes - Red Camp
So so beautiful. Host was really lovely. Perfect spot if you're travelling with kids and (friendly) dogs. They have a dog that is friendly and occasionally came down for a play with our dogs which was nice for our dogs to have a friend to play with and burn off some energy. Fresh water creek was absolutely beautiful, very cold, but well worth pushing past on a hot day. A few red bellies around, none came anywhere near the campsite, but be mindful if you are walking around the property. Cicadas and march flies were very full on, definitely prepare for this if you can. Outside of the seasonal spikes of cicadas and march flies, this would be an absolute prime camp spot. You could get here with an AWD but 4WD probably best as there are some crossways you need to pass through on the property. Very very remote which is what we wanted. No phone reception at all. Overall, lovely spot, we will be back again! Next time we will just prepare for cicadas and march flies.

Vallis Oakes - Yellow Camp
What a Beautiful part of the world. This location is a gem. Camping in summer can be hot. Yet, keeping cool in the pristine upper Nambucca river was so relaxing. If you are here in summer just be sure to bring substantial fly protection. Any other time of year just sit back relax and enjoy the surroundings. The Host was also very welcoming and great for a quick chat. We walked as they showed us around a little and gave us directions for some great hikes and or 4x4 tracks into the mountains.

Swimming with Platypus
We loved camping at Vallis Oakes red camp. This is such a peaceful place with a beautiful little river, with picturesque swimming holes. The road in is an adventure, with numerous causeways to cross (definitely 4wd only). Our friendly hosts communicated instructions and directions very well. Definitely be back for more relaxation.
