My property consists of 100 acres with two rivers joining in the property with at least 1 km of river frontage. We are located in the foothills of the Nambucca valley.
Pristine beaches are 20 minutes away, mountains and four-wheel drive tracks are a quick 20 minutes the other way. From here it's 15 minutes to Bellingen, 25 minutes to the famous Pub With No Beer and 5 minutes to the historic "verandah posts" town of Bowraville.
Here you will find beautiful bird watching, animals and wildlife.
Park your car or set up your caravan next to the river where you will wake up to amazing views.
Enjoy a peaceful walk along the riverbank, breathe in the fresh clean air, try a spot of fishing or sit back and enjoy some bird watching. Warm your feet by the campfire in the evenings.
We're located 20 minutes from Nambucca Heads as well as Scotts Heads beaches, and 30 minutes from Taylors Arm. A quick trip up into the foothills will take you to some great 4WD and mountain biking tracks, or you can explore the region and visit the historical Pub With No Beer.
You need to be a self-contained camper with your own camping toilet/shower. There is access to drinking water, a picnic table and rubbish facilities. We recommend 4WDs to access the campsite and the river but 2WDs are ok.

Inclusion policyWe have a zero-tolerance policy against discrimination at Hipcamp. We are committed to helping our Host and Hipcamper communities be inclusive.
Campers visiting this site have consistently praised its tranquil and private setting, often mentioning the crystal-clear creek that offers a refreshing dip. The presence of friendly cows adds a touch of rustic charm, though some visitors note the need to manage around cow pats. The site is dog-friendly and guests appreciate the easy access and well-maintained grounds. However, ticks can be a concern, so pet owners should ensure their pets' treatments are up to date.

Clearest waters!!

Arrived too late in the day for this site and boy was that a mistake. Absolutely perfect camp site with the cleanest water I’ve swam in in a while! Add this spot to your next trip! Thanks for a great stay!

Absolutely stunning!
Tent
Nick's campsite was beautifully nested overlooking the river, which makes for some amazing sunrises. It was private and the nearby tree cover added protection from the wind and afternoon sun.
I highly recommend Nick's campsite to anyone looking for a secluded getaway that isn't out back of whoop-whoop.

Beautiful river

This is such a beautiful spot by the river, I'd recommend it to anyone. There was nobody else around when I was there. Took a bit of finding down some back roads which I suppose is how you get the quiet spots. Would recommend a 4WD vehicle but if you're careful then a 2WD should make it(some loose gravel). Nick was very helpful and came and assisted

We really enjoyed our 4 nights at Nick's. Got to experience the creek in cystal clear swim mode and then running fast mode after a big storm had it running fast. The spot is very quiet and peacful and wasn't muddy despite the storm. The cows are cheeky but very good fun on their daily visits. If you are looking to get out while visiting the Nambucca Heads is only 20 mins away and Makesville is 15 mins.

Lovely and secluded, Cows were a fun to have about, fresh water creek was great.
If towing a van please be aware that the driveway entry to the property is directly after the bridge - ie. About only about 5-10mtrs - if you miss it there are not many spots to turn a rig around for a while.
