Whether you're seeking relaxation or adventure, The Ranch on Clarence offers the perfect getaway. At The Ranch on Clarence, we’ve designed our campsites to feel truly exclusive, with each spot carefully situated to provide privacy and a sense of seclusion. Set up your self-contained tent or off-road caravan over looking the Clarence River and enjoy breathtaking views, from soaring cliffs to sandy beaches. Explore walking and mountain biking trails, spot platypus in the river, or unwind by peaceful rapids and swimming pools. For horse lovers, we offer personalized riding and equine experiences. Join a 1- or 2-hour River Ride, and if conditions are right, swim bareback with the horses in the river. For a unique thrill, hop aboard the Troopy Horse Safari and move with the herd as they gallop through the landscape. Beyond horses, there’s plenty to enjoy: swim, kayak, or fish in the refreshing waters, explore scenic trails on foot or bike, and relax by the campfire while stargazing under clear skies. Key Features: Exclusive, private campsites with 1.3 km of riverfront for off-road caravans and self-contained tents. Multi-day treks, River Rides, and the Troopy Horse Safari. Kayaking, fishing, swimming, and mountain biking. A flush toilet is available near the Homestead. Pets are welcome, however those inclined to chase livestock must be leashed or contained. Our property is accessible by 2WD and 4WD, with suitable sites for all vehicle types. Message us for advice on the best spots for your setup. If a soak under the stars calls to you, check out Swan Lake and book your fire bath experience. The Ranch on Clarence is the sister business of The Ranch Byron Bay, where unforgettable equine adventures continue. Ready to reconnect with nature and horses? Message us to plan your visit!

    This was our second stay at Swan Lake. It is a beautiful property where you feel very safe and looked after. Shanti took us on the troopy To muster up the horses and it was really amazing. The horses come galloping out of the bush to her 4wd! We did another trail ride and swam the horses in the river. A very special place and a very special woman with beautiful horses!

    We stayed at The Ranch as we wanted to go horse riding. I couldn’t work out how to book the horse riding on Hipcamp so contacted Shanti directly messaging through the app & then a call. Shanti was very responsive. She was also very accommodating of our dog, & has a beautiful well cared for herd of horses. Great swimming hole at the end of the ride.

    We loved our experience at The Ranch on Clarence! We had a beautiful camping spot, complete with Phantom the stallion, and felt very welcomed by Shanti! We did the Troopie Safari which was very cool and lots of fun, watching a herd of horses gallop past us was unbelievable! Horse riding was fantastic and we even got to help with putting out the feed, which my son loved! Thank You so much for an awesome experience on your beautiful property. We will be back for longer next time!!

    We camped at the Swan lake site at The Ranch on Clarence 👌🏽 the outdoor baths are amazing! Easy access to the River, Shanti & Jingles provided a canoe 🛶 so we paddled up to sandy riverside beaches, swimming & relaxing in nature without a soul to be seen! Riding over the creek crossing the next day was amazing, we took the horses in for a swim, this was a highlight! It was the perfect little getaway & a unique experience in a very beautiful part of Northern NSW Highly recommend a few days here!
