Yarrawin is 680 acre cattle farm and hardwood timber plantation in the heart of the Nambucca Valley, offering scenic, secluded , private campsites with their own swimming hole and a river gravel beach on 3km of beautiful double river frontage. Camping options include river side camps, the Shack and riverside camp and a large secluded valley. Each campsite is separate from the others, giving guests privacy and exclusive use of the swimming hole (except Chinamans Valley) at their site. All riverside sites offer a natural gravel beach entry into the water. There are no amenities here, campers will need to be self contained and leave no trace. Every site has a fire pit which must be used for campfires. If you want to use your own it must be off the ground. Only sand mats or similar, NO TARPS, to be set up on the grassed areas to preserve the grass. Free firewood and fire pit set up for the first night, IF YOU STAY TWO NIGHTS OR MORE. Firewood $20/ night after that (CASH ONLY PLEASE), except when camping at Chinamans Valley where you collect your own free firewood for each night. Beautiful drinking rain water is available in a 20lt Jerry can if required on arrival. Bird lovers can enjoy watching the various bird varieties, as well as ducks. Animals include wallabies, goannas, deer and fish as well as cattle and stock horses. Fishing is okay but it is STRICTLY catch and release ONLY. There are many places to go bushwalking, either following the river or heading up the valleys or hiking up the hills through the trees. The property is just 10kms from the convenience of Bowraville, a historic township with a supermarket, folk museum, a war museum, a historic theatre, and other historic buildings. Nambucca Heads and the beautiful surrounding beaches are just 27kms east and Coffs Harbour 80kms away. Please note this is a working farm, so there will be cattle and stock horses on the property that may approach your campsite.

Yarrawin offers a tranquil retreat for campers, with private sites nestled in stunning countryside. Guests frequently highlight the friendly and accommodating hosts, Ian and Bobbie, who enhance the experience with thoughtful touches like homemade brownies and pre-prepared fire pits. The property boasts beautiful swimming holes and abundant wildlife, providing a serene backdrop for relaxation. However, guests should be mindful of the potential for creek crossings to become impassable in heavy rain.

We had an amazingly relaxed time at Yarrawin. Ian and Bobbie were very easy to get on with and are great hosts. Just us, a few cows, wildlife and a beautiful river - everything we were looking for. Highly recommended

Private spots with plenty of wildlife, beautiful swimming areas and very quiet. Perfect for relaxing. Area is well maintained with a firepit if keen.

We concur with previous comments. Beautiful setting, private and very peaceful. The brownies went down very well! Ian and Bobbie were very friendly. Would not recommend this site if very heavy rain was due as it's possible to get stranded at the site if the creek crossings get too deep. We were lucky, we survived!

Yarrawin Has Stolen Our Hearts

Yarrawin Hipcamp at Argents Hill was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the most stunning countryside, surrounded by rolling hills, this Hipcamp exceeded every expectation. We stayed at the First Crossing swimming hole. It was pure bliss. The property is dotted with private campsites all with their own swimming holes, each as picturesque as the last, Ian & Bobbie are truly exceptional hosts. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and felt right at home. They genuinely care about making sure their guests have the best experience possible, offering plenty of helpful information about the farm and the surrounding area. The hospitality was second to none. On arrival, we were treated to Bobbie’s famous family recipe brownies. They are absolutely delicious! We stayed for 5 nights, and we honestly didn’t want to leave. The farm’s beauty is hard to capture in photos & even more breathtaking in person. The stunning landscape took our breath away. We also loved how easy it was to get in & out of the property. We brought our 22ft caravan with no trouble at all. The swimming holes were incredible, and the water was just perfect for a refreshing dip. Having stayed at several Hipcamps before, we can confidently say that Ian and Bobbie’s property, combined with their warm hospitality, has been our absolute favorite. Thank you both for such an unforgettable experience you truly are wonderful people, & we can’t wait to return soon. Steve & Tam

It was such a fun weekend away. We walked 1km for a 2.5km float down the river. We saw turtles 🐢 and kangaroos 🦘 and wallabies and cows 🐄 and horses 🐴 . Ian delivered us more wood when he saw we were running out with all our camp cooking. He also leant us another lilo when I punctured one of ours going over the rapids. Bobbie’s brownies are delicious. The horses keep you up at night with their chomping of the grass near your camp, but that’s ok, because the stars are so big out there, it would be a bummer to sleep through it.
