Private River Camp
Optimal for private camping trip
We had a fantastic stay. The place was completely private, we had access to kayaks and picked a spot right down near the river. We felt like we were in the middle of no where but were a reasonable distance from town. So many beautiful spots to take day trips to or you could easily spend your time exploring the property. We did have some inquisitive dingoes hanging around camp so we had to be careful with our dogs so perhaps just keep this in mind if you stay. Overall a great trip and spot.

Well maintained large campground
Craig's Private River Camp has been immaculately maintained - with a huge grassed camp area kept well slashed, and attractive stands of forest at the edges. The road on the property has been well built - allowing for easy all-weather access. There are multiple totally flat zones amongst the (otherwise) sloped grass expanse. Very convenient to Grafton yet with a special remote feel - it's not a big trek off the M1. The Orara river looks to be brilliant for safe, small water-craft play/exploration - being calm and still. There may have been a minor flood before I got there, as the 'beach' (property river bank) was a mix of sand, and mud that may have been deposited by a flood. You can still swim though! Finally, Craig was a very responsive communicator. Recommended for self-contained groups and solo campers alike - very peaceful.

Definitely be back!
We loved camping at Private River Camp; Craig was amazing with our arrival and leaving date / time changes, and the property was beautiful and so peaceful. 150 acres and all to ourselves! We’ll definitely be back.

Great amenities, lovely open space which was well maintained. The undercover awning came in super handy as we had torrential rain and we really appreciated the freedom to explore the property with the well kept tracks throughout.

We always choose private, picturesque hipcamps where you have exclusive access to the site. This site did not let us down. A large well maintained area, close to the river, with a number of sites to choose from. We definitely recommend.

Secret River Camp
Craig’s Secret River Camp is a great spot to venture too. The area is well maintained, plenty of spots for families and so relaxing. Lots of native birds and animals to see. Excellent river to use the sups, swim and fish. We highly recommend Craig’s property.
