Small private farm with rural outlook, bamboo plantation, fruit trees and small bush to explore. 7 minutes from Beaches, 3 minutes from new boat ramp, and 15 minutes from a major town.
Dog friendly (we have free range chickens so they may have to stay on a lead). No amenities so guests must be fully self-contained.
A Jetty and river swimming spot is located just 2km away (quiet walk or bike ride). The Bohnock boat ramp (new) is just 3 km away.
Contained campfires permitted depending on the season, generally not permitted in the summer months. Please ask in advance.
We have limited spots so it feels like you have the place to yourself.
Quiet location close to the front gate. No bathroom (toilet or shower) facilities. Access to water tap adjacent the site.
Nearest dump point is in Taree, 15 min away, no onsite blackwater disposal allowed.
Lovely flat area surrounded by bamboo clumps. There were a few areas to pick was happy we actually took site 2. It was very humid/hot weather and mozzies were ferocious. Take repellant and coils. The other sites deeper into bamboo clumps had mozzies you could saddle. HA HA.
But the place was quiet and Phil had prepared area ready for our arrival and we filled caravan water tanks on entry. No hose hook up. Internet very patchy throughout the area. Close to beaches and creeks/estuaries for fishing. Definitely recommend and will be back.
Great level site! Very pet friendly hosts too. Thank you for such a great stay as we had a great time heading to the beach at Old Bar and day tripping to different places around. Highly recommended Phil and his lovely family as hosts.
Was awesome too to be able to get water on-site and the Rotary Park in Taree isn't too far for Sanitary Dump Point
Nice spot to park up to explore Old Bar /Manning Point . Good fishing spot not far away . Within driving distance to Ellenborough Falls .Very private site ,friendly host and Jessie the lab came to visit each day .
Was basic but what you need for an overnight stay. Grass was green and flat and the kids loved feeding baby cow in the morning owners were great. A fire pit would have been nice but did not ask if they had one. Would definitely stay again
Very interesting island that’s easy to reach. The beach at Old Bar was lovely and had a great community/local vibe. The orchard campground was open and spacious, perfect for stargazing. We might have just been unlucky, but the neighbour was doing things with his trucks in the night.
