We offer riverside camping in a scenic bush country setting where you can enjoy fishing, canoeing and swimming in the calm brackish water of the Wang Wauk river, all accessible from a pontoon or boat ramp. We are located 10 minutes' drive from the Nabiac township where you will find a collection of food, beverage and interesting antique and giftware. Explore cleared and wooded areas via walking tracks and observe the varied bird and wildlife. Relax around the campfire in the evenings and enjoy some star gazing. Campers must be self sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities, any camping group that do not bring their own toilet/shower will be turned away or agree to a $40/night extra charge and allowed limited access to our own toilet block located 300 metres away from camping areas. All campers must take all waste with them on departure and DO NOT use waste bins at highway turn off location. Fire pits have been provided and must be utilised, simply move them to your final camp location, also burn only clean firewood ( No pallets with Nails, etc) Firewood may be purchased on site.

Site 3 Boat Ramp

Overall a good experience but feel this property is overpriced. $48 per night, minimal Telstra reception (high ground site), close to fellow campers, no rubbish bins, paid firewood, no water, completely off grid, no water sports equipment to use on the river, high price for parking.

Site 1 Pontoon

Extremely pleasant to have have camped here. Paul was very nice and helpful. Although there was some traffic noise, it doesn't take away from waking up to the sounds of nature. Very highly recommended.

Site 4 Paddock Site

My son and I had a great time camping at Casapalou Riverside Camp. The host Paul was friendly and very helpful. The site itself is basic, but in a great location by the river. Perfect for kayaking/paddle boarding, fishing, and swimming in the warmer months. Close enough to the coast if you want to access the beaches as well. We would definitely stay there again.

Site 2 High Ground

We had such a wonderful long weekend here! When we arrived we couldn’t locate our spot but Paul quickly came down to help us out. Some other campers had arrived late the night before and set up in our spot so we ended up at the platoon but it was even better than we’d anticipated. Camped up facing the river and although there were other campers onsite they were far enough away to feel like we were alone. Close drive to Nabiac shops for supplies and easy drive to Forster if the beach is your thing. Great place to relax, chill out around the campfire with a couple of drinks or throw a line in (not that we caught much 😆) Highly recommend if you’re looking for some downtime.

2nd stay at Paul’s property, easy access to river for kayaking. Paul’s a welcoming host and great firewood available.

Site 1 Pontoon

Absolute ripper of a spot. Unfortunately for us the weather wasn’t on our side but kids still fished and we still had a beautiful fire. Fantastic for small groups and families. Would highly recommend.
