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. The property is easily accessed and located just 5kms off the Pacific Hwy. Pets on leash are welcome!

Big grassy camp spot
Tent · With kids ·
Great large grassy area with good access to the water. The boat ramp spot is tucked away from the other campers so feels private. Lots of great bird watching and spectacular star gazing. It was hard to escape the summer heat in the middle of the day but the property is located close to so many beautiful coastal beaches and charming towns so it was nice to get out. Only a 10 minutes drive to Nabiac for supplies and 30mins to Forster. We enjoyed our stay at Paul’s place, they do a great job to keep the property maintained for campers.

Amazing spot to get away from all the crowded spots! Had such a lovely few days away, Paul was very accommodating. River was lovely for a swim! Will definitely be returning.

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.

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.
