This campsite offers a truly serene and secluded experience, perfect for those who enjoy a bit of solitude and the sound of waves as a constant companion. Reviewers rave about the stunning ocean views and the private beach access, although reaching the beach can be a bit of an adventure due to the overgrown path. Most visitors found the site easily accessible with clear instructions, but a few encountered challenges with GPS and sandy terrain. Overall, it's a great spot for self-sufficient campers who value privacy and natural beauty.

Secluded beauty
16 ft Class A
What a lovely spot, We will definitely be back.
The track to get in wasn't an issue at all. We were towing a 16ft off grid caravan and got to the site fine.
The site had spots of soft sand but manageable to go around the site to get a good spot.
Path to the beach is over grown but can make your way down and back.
We love that we got to lock the gate when we left for a few hours. It was awesome to have some extra security when exploring Ballina and other suburbs nearby.

Beautiful ocean views and sounds
10 ft travel trailer · With kids
Beautiful spot! Definitely not as difficult to get to as other reviewers have posted! Yes the walk to the beach is a bit of a trek, it is a bit of a rough part of the ocean too so take care. We were a bit u lucky with jelly fish not sure if that was just our luck or if they are always there. Other then that it's a lovely spot

Lovely spot but don't get bogged!
18 ft pop-up camper
First of all I will say it is an incredible spot and the beach itself is absolutely fabulous. It's a 5 minute walk from the campsite and you do have to bush bash through some scrub to get there but so worth it.
Unfortunately we had a couple of issues that turned our absolute beachfront experience into a bit of a nightmare.
The first challenge was all 3 of our GPS's didn't work out there (2 with Telstra), and Dugungully rd isn't marked. We arrived at dusk (around 7PM) and called for support and Kate was as helpful as she could be but admitted she has never been to the site and couldn't really give us much help or directions and couldn't get through to the owner.
A helpful farmer down one of the roads told us we were on the right road and told us the way to go, and said many people who attend this campground get lost because of these reasons.
Then when we arrived at the site, it wasn't clearly marked where to go and even though we have 4 wheel drive, we accidentally drove into a big soft sand area and got immediately bogged. I wished we had some warning or direction to avoid this.
We tried many ways to get out and even went into town the next day and got recovery tracks. They didn't work.
The NRMA wouldn't come out for off road support so we had to go through our insurance and eventually had a 4 wheel drive tow truck get us out.
There needs to be better signage, especially around the soft sand with a warning notice.
We'd hate for this to happen to others.

It was a No from me…
42 ft travel trailer
Lovely View but for me that was about it. Very overgrown access to both the site and the beach.
Unfortunately I found it overpriced for what it was but communication was good and the instructions on how to access etc very good.
Again, not our cup of tea but can see the appeal for other people.

Absolute Beachfront was a real delight. Our own private beach! The position was perfect. Easy to explore the Nature Reserves & surroundings. Thank you so much Michael, we loved your spot!
