Yagaari Mountainside Sanctuary borders the Western side of Yarriabini National Park on the traditional lands of the Ngambaa people. The creeks and dams here are all spring fed and provide a sanctuary for an abundance of wildlife and native bushland, as well as a few beautiful places for a refreshing swim! The property is private and quiet and has stunning sunrise and sunset views as well as multiple camping sites fit for various needs and group sizes. There are also clean, odourless composting toilets available for use on site. There is lots of space to walk and explore with tracks leading up into the heart of the National Park. Nearby are many gorgeous rivers, beaches and national parks to explore. We are convieniently located only 10 minutes from Macksville for shopping and cafes and only 15 minutes from Scotts Head, a great beach for families and surfers.

We had a great weekend at Georgia and Alex's property. We camped at creekside camp number 1. Alex had recently mowed the camp site and there was a pile of firewood at the firepit. We had the entire property to ourselves and it was the perfect spot to disconnect for us and our two young daughters. Alex was responsive and super helpful especially considering they had very recently had a new baby. The swimming hole was beautiful also.

Relaxing peaceful spot
Really lovely spot and close enough to Scott’s head beach and cafes and shops which was just beautiful. Pit toilet is a little bit of a walk away from the campsite which made it a bit tricky for the kids and adults alike in the dark. Waterhole was lovely and cool to swim in but getting in and out stirs up a lot of muddy sediment so don’t think this’ll be your “shower”. There’s also a very steep dirt road to get out of the campsite which was doable with a 2WD but wouldn’t be recommended for those not comfortable with skidding around a bit and I imagine in the wet it’d be even trickier. Hosts were super helpful and friendly, providing us with as much rainwater as we needed (we brought our own containers though). Rainwater is crystal clear and we determined safe enough to drink.

Secluded with space
Had a great time. Nice and secluded site. Huge amount of space around 'The Field' camp-site. Alex was so helpful and kind. Great fire pit. Steep hill in and out, but we managed with 2WDs. Big beautiful green trees all around. Very short trek to the swimming hole. Would happily go again if we need a site in this area.

Amazing location in the middle of a national park. you really feel immersed in nature while being only 15 mins away from the beach. Alex helped us navigate to our camping spot and provided us with everything we needed - including firewood. When it was time for us to leave he even offered to drive our 2WD up the hill so that we wouldn't have to stress about it. Top experience and top host!

Had an amazing time. Likely one of the more private and spacious hip camps you'll find. Thank you for having us.

Immersed in nature at Yagaari
We stayed at the Yagaari Mountainside Sanctuary (Creekside Campsite #2) for a week over New Years, 2024/2025. The hosts, Georgia and Alex, were wonderfully friendly and helpful and were gracious enough to provide water and firewood during our stay. Alex was also on-site daily to help us out with any extra requests and he provided us with some fantastic recommendations for places to explore around the area. The place is very well-maintained with clean compost toilets and clear, flat and soft ground to set up camp. We enjoyed daily dips in the watering hole to cool off, and the sunset spot provided an amazing view. It is essential to pack plenty of insect repellant if you are staying during the humid months, as we found the mosquitoes to be a bit of a challenge. If you are a light sleeper I would also suggest packing earbuds as the cicadas were very loud once the sun rose.
