Riverdell Farm offers a blend of serene landscapes and welcoming hospitality, making it a pleasant spot for campers. The proximity to the Richmond River and nearby beaches adds to its allure, providing ample opportunities for fishing and exploration. While the site offers spacious areas for camping and a friendly atmosphere, some visitors noted the proximity to the road and occasional noise as drawbacks. Overall, the farm's peaceful environment and Paul's accommodating nature make it a worthwhile visit.

Site 2 - Riverdell Farm Shed

Nice little secluded spot that was tucked away amongst the cane fields.. when we were there it was very windy. The sugar cane and the shed provided a little protection from the wind. was about a 200m walk down to the river. . We enjoyed our stay and would come back again.

We loved camping on Paul’s land right opposite the river and so near to the beach and beautiful Ballina. Paul was a very accommodating host. Would definitely recommend!

Riverdell Farm is located a short drive out of Ballina, in a quiet area nestled along the Richmond river. A great base camp to explore surrounding areas like Byron Bay and Lennox Heads. We were the only campers/caravaners but there is so much space for all to spread out and enjoy. Unfortunately NSW turned on some pretty crazy cyclonic winds and rain, but we were safe and thankfully didn’t blow away haha. Was a little tricky to find our camp spot, but Paul was quick to call and help us out. All in all a lovely spot for a couple of days..
