Pretty, peaceful and private
We love 'Hipcamping' because it opens up places and experiences that we could never enjoy otherwise (especially because we travel with a large dog) - natural, wild, peaceful, relaxing places. Wild Nymboida Camping offers all this and more. The campsite was easily accessible, tidy, flat, grassy and spacious with a large fire-pit and right on the river bank. (Firewood available, too). There was only one other campsite, but it was around the river bend and barely visible. A clean and tidy composting toilet was the only visible structure as far as the eye could see.
The farmland was lush and green and scenic. The river was clean and fresh and easy to get to - beautiful to cool off in with pools and gentle rapids. We caught glimpses of platypus and turtles in the river at dawn and dusk. The forest and bushland along the river hosted black cockatoos, rosellas, fairy wrens (and the occasional chilled out cow grazing quietly). We could have a crack at lure fishing (for native cod) on the deep holes right in front of the campsite.
Great drives all around to explore, with popular waterfalls (mostly N.P.) in the region.
It was also nice to step away from internet and phone while at the site, but we could choose to take a short walk up the hill to make a call/send a message if we needed to.
Stuart was a good host, making sure we had what we needed, then leaving us to enjoy his beautiful farm. We loved our weekend here. Highly recommend.
