    You will see a well maintained property with lots of things for you to do canoeing bike riding walking around my sugar cane farm tasting the sugar cane juice from the stalk a quite place to rest and enjoy the view'sSquiggles welcomes you to come and enjoy the peace, calm, and serenity this little piece of paradise offers. It truly is magical. The perfect location for you to rest, relax and unwind. Situated in the Clarence Valley we are on an Island surrounded by two very vast rivers.....we are the very end of that Island.....123 acre Sugar Cane Farm. Squiggles is a born and bred local and will help you with anything you require to make your stay here relaxing or as adventurous as you like.....Thank You to all who have already stayed here and appreciated it's beauty. We enjoy sharing it with you. The dolphins are back after last years floods and are usually sighted daily. Ducks, stingrays, fish, crabs....there is plenty of wildlife and birds. The Sunsets and Sunrises are insane....We have complimentary Kayaks, fishing rods and a two person row boat....Squigs will find some bait for you if required and for a small extra fee we supply firewood. There's a few bikes for the kids and swing ball. You are welcome to bring your boat as the river is perfect for waterskiing, fishing or just exploring the area..... we have a boat ramp on the property or one just down the road. People have left their boats in whilst here and tied up near their camp. We welcome and encourage you to walk around the property and enjoy/get lost in nature.... lindy has a small herb garden near the Bush Bathroom...please help yourselves to anything you like from here to add to your cooking. Also our small orchard when in fruit is available for you to enjoy the odd one or two fruits whilst you are here. However please do not get too carried away and strip the trees bare. x We welcome your well behaved dogs (max two per campsite) as we have two ourselves...Please always pick up after your dog, be mindful of other campers and be sure they are chicken friendly as we do have a few free-range chooks and Squiggles is very protective of them.... Just a stones throw from Yamba, Maclean and Iluka (20-25 minute drive) and close to Coffs Harbour, Grafton and Ballina roughly one hours drive. Whilst we do prefer you to be self contained as our campsite is off grid we have knocked together a small shared bush-style bathroom with a camp porta-loo and camp shower. The bathroom has no plumbing and water needs to be collected from the water tap located at the campsite. We have a gas heating system for hot water/showers in the bathroom. We offer three main campsites situated on the east side of the property, all three are river sites. We also have two other sites...these sites are just a little further away from the amenities (50mtr) but are awesome sites and beside the river. Each has a camp fire. We only have room for one vehicle per campsite and only one form of accommodation per camp site. Note: If your extra guest are not sleeping in your accommodation you will need to book separately. (Extra cars can be parked close by on the property). Check in is from 12 noon and check out 11am. Unfortunately due to insurance purposes we have to stick with these times. If you would like to extend your stay and there is availability on the website please be sure to have your extended stay booked before 10:30am on the morning of your departure and inform us of this. We look forward to meeting you Warm Smiles Squiggles

    My partner, pooch and I had such a nice weekend at Squiggles’ beautiful property. Loved camping alongside the river and stargazing by our campfire. Squiggles and his family were hospitable, lovely people. Highly recommend.

    Lovely view and great fireplace. Great activities available including kayaking and fishing! The grass was super comfortable for tent camping! Will definitely come back. The dog loved the river for swimmer too!

    We had a group of 6 adults and 6 kids. 1 dog. The property was beautiful. Squiggles was great to deal with. No issues at all.

    Squiggle's place was our favourite stop on our NSW coastal road trip. It is so peaceful and such a beautiful spot. We were lucky enough to see dolphins in the river! I also enjoyed the 'activities' to do there, such as kayaks, swings, fishing and boating. We had a wonderful stay here, thank you Squiggles!
