Welcome to Eight Mile Creek Campground, nestled in the heart of the Australian bush on the traditional lands of the Dunghutti, you will feel the peace and beauty of mother nature during your stay. Situated with Willi Willi National Park to the west, Boonanghi State Forest and Nature Reserve to the north, and the Kumbatine National park to the south, this is a remote campsite with no mobile reception. As you enter, be ready to embark on a digital detox and embrace the magic, immersing yourself in nature's rhythms.

The property has private access, you are required to have some experience driving off sealed roads as this campground is AWD/4WD access ONLY. The property is approximately 30 kilometers from Kempsey and the Pacific Motorway.

Your campsite is one of three on a spacious flat area each offering an uninterrupted connection to the serene surroundings. There are two natural water courses meandering along the border of our property which offer multiple secluded swimming holes for you explore, cool off and unwind. Facilities include bush toilets and invigorating cold showers, providing a touch of comfort while keeping the experience rustic. You are welcome to collect wood and have a fire during your stay – weather conditions permitting. Be sure to fully extinguish your fire before you leave. Water is available in Eight Mile Creek. Please boil before drinking. Pets are welcome.

The campground is enveloped by flora and fauna, creating an authentic Australian bush experience. Marvel at the diverse birdlife, including wedge-tailed eagles, lyre birds, black cockatoos, bower birds and brush turkeys.

We celebrate space, privacy, and the sheer quietude of nature, therefore please be respectful of our neighbours. This area is a haven for those seeking solace, a respite from the demands of modern life, and a chance to connect with the raw beauty of the Australian bush. We invite responsible, respectful nature loving campers who will leave no trace of rubbish or ill-considered driving.
