    Yarralen is a beautiful 40 acre property on the mid-north coast of NSW. Situated under Mt Yarrahapinni on the Eastern side of the Pacific Hwy. Halfway between Sydney and Brisbane, Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour. We are surrounded by National Parks and close to pristine beaches , grassy heads , scotts head and the Macleay River. Please note there is a $10 pet fee for the campsites, and $15 pet fee for lodgings (the two Vans and Units). We offer a magical bush retreat with all the modern felicities with a range of camping and accommodation options: -The Eclectic Bush Haven is a family-friendly camping area where kids under 12 yrs camp for free, campers booking this option have access to camp kitchen, toilets and electricity. -The Yarralen Retreat Camp Ground 2 is a more secluded camping area for off-road campers that are completely self-contained with their own toilet, kitchen facilities and power. -The Butterfly Caravan and Retro Glam Vans are renovated caravans nestled in the rainforest. -Yarralen Retreat Glamping are glamping tents offering the perfect romantic escape, or if you just like camping but don't want to set up a tent, this is the perfect choice. - Our Entire Property Exclusive option means you can book out the whole place for your group to enjoy privately. Please thoroughly read the site description which explains exactly what this option does and does not include. Our 40-acre property features eclectic, arty, and striking sculptures and artworks. Stroll through the beautiful bush surroundings, visit the water lilies, and say hello to the roaming peacocks. The campsites are located on a grassed area surrounded by a corridor of tall trees for your shade and comfort. We're not far from the beach, with Grassy Heads being the closest beach. While you're exploring why not check out Scott’s Head and South West Rocks for the amazing vistas.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a Webber BBQ, gas cooktop, large fridge, lighting and power. (IMPORTANT: Campers who book the Yarralen Retreat Camp Ground 2 area DO NOT have access to these facilities, we expect campers in this area to be fully self-contained) For your convenience entry to the property and main camping area is via our asphalt driveway, which suits all vehicles.

    Eclectic Bush Haven Camp Ground 1
    Staying at Yarralen was an absolute delight. The camp kitchen is exceptionally well stocked with power, a fridge, kettle, toaster, plates and cups, a BBQ and even a rice cooker! The property is so beautiful, and the perfect mix of natural beauty and artistic whimsy. The peacocks were an immediate favourite. Julie was a wonderful host, making sure we had everything we needed. We felt so safe and at home, it was hard to leave! 10/10, definitely stay at Yarralen ❤️

    Tranquil and adorable with a beautiful big camp kitchen and a divine broadwalk over the billabong. The peacocks were a nice addition, as is aunty Julie’s personable vibes. 12/10 would recommend. 💕

    Eclectic Bush Haven Camp Ground 1
    A beautiful property in complete serenity. The camp kitchen was amazing and everything was really clean. The bathroom was communal for men and women, which could be triggering for some. But it was a really beautiful place and I would definitely go back!
