Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Nestled just 5 minutes from the coastal town of Elliott Heads, lies Hartwood—a tranquil 120-cattle stud and mangrove wetland boasting over 48 species of wading birds. It is located under 1 km away from the beach and boat ramp at Riverview, allowing you to ride your horse to the water or go kite surfing in the river mouth. Hartwood is a great destination for nature walks or adventurous kayaking. With 9 paddocks, we can even accommodate guest horses.

Hartwood is a great spot, just make sure you are self sufficient. We had an amazing 5 night stay at Hartwood, with scenic views of the natural wetlands the birds were abundant with life. Quick trip to the beach at Elliot heads is stunning, only 20 minutes and your in town. Make sure you pack mozzie spray and coils in the summer.

Disappointed

Feeling disappointed in this site as what is pictured is not what we got. Our whole campsite was covered in cow poo, dirt and things fallen from the tree. We were given minimal directions until we found the host on a different site who had to give us directions. The pictures show grass paddocks and right on a lake and that’s not what this site is. We paid $36 for a night and really sorry but that is not what it’s worth.

We booked for 2 nights last minute. At $47 a night which is extremely high. The local caravan parks are less than this with power and water. When we arrived we were very disappointed with the site. Understand it is a cattle farm but we spent 30 minutes shovelling poo just to be able step out of the van and not step in poo. We have stayed on many working cattle properties and never had this issue. We also had issues leveling due the slop on the available mowed patch provided. We ended leaving after one night. I contacted hipcamp to ask for a refund, they said I had to request a refund from the owner. I sent several messages with no response. This property is worth $15 a night max.

Secluded camp, dog friendly
Loved this site! No one else around except some friendly cattle in the paddock adjacent to us. Site overlooked a big waterhole and beautiful surrounding farmland. Felt secluded and peaceful. Super close (driving distance) to Elliott Heads. The camp had been recently slashed so no long grass dramas. The ground is a little uneven but that didn’t matter as we were in a rooftop tent. The site is just off the road - hidden enough to feel somewhat private but also close enough to be easily accessible and easy to find. Owner was friendly + easy to contact when we needed directions. Thank you Jack for hosting us!🙏🏼🌾
