    Nice and grassy 3acres of land located right on the channel . Plenty of fishing spots and can launch a kayak straight from your campsite . You can cycle around cane fields and Macadamia farms . Only a 10 minute drive to popular surfing beaches in Yamba and Angourie . We supply fire pits and timber when in stock is available to buy.2.5 acres of flat, grassy land right on the river. You can kayak up the channel to Lake Wooloweyah or back down to the Mighty Clarence River. Great little spot to throw the fishing line in . We are 12 kms from Yamba and 9 kms from Maclean. Set up camp wherever you like on the mowed grassy area.You are in a quiet rural area so please respect the neighbours. This is a CARAVAN only campsite .

    Camping with a side of fishing!

    We loved caravanning at On The Channel. It was easy to find, peaceful, quiet and our daughters loved easily catching Bream and Catfish! Not to mention the beautifully green grass that was so welcome. We hope to be back!! Thanks Cathy for a wonderful stay on our trip up North.

    Great spot on the water plenty of room between camp sites . Other hip camp hosts should check out the set up . It’s close to Yamba Maclean and beaches yet sitting around the fire feels like you’re away from everything . Our dog loved it . Would recommend to others .
