Nomadic camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

Down a quiet no-through road, turn off to our 100 acre bushland property. It feels like isolation but you’re still only 5 a minute drive to the famous Coutts Crossing township and Tavern where you can grab a pub feed 7 days a week. The tavern is a classic country pub with a warm ‘come as you are’ vibe with live music on the weekends! The main camping spot on our property is called Wallaby Way. Check out this 1-minute YouTube clip tour of the site https://youtu.be/LwWH-niLBX0 It's aprox 20m x 30m of mowed, flat area with a picnic table & fire pit (firewood supplied). It’s all yours, so feel free to spread out. You can drive straight through the camp site and back out to the road in a big loop making it very easy to access. Wallaby Way is 80m off the road and you will follow a 2WD track down a gentle slope, through light bush, to the site. Suitable for caravans, motor homes, smaller trucks, vans and cars. If you really want seclusion, there are more camp sites further away from the road but you'll need a 4WD/higher clearance. All campers must be self-contained. There is NO water, NO power & NO bathroom facilities. You’ll have 1 bar of Telstra 4G, but it’s patchy. It’s enough for messenger and phonecalls if you’re patient. Sorry, this is not the location for a Netflix binge! Our property is pet friendly. I ask that you control your pooch and respect the livestock and wildlife we cherish. We like to see the Wallabies and Kangaroos visit, so please don't let your dogs chase them. We also welcome horses but you’ll need to BYO yards. You may see Lauren driving her horses in the horse drawn carriage. Make sure you wave her down and say hi! They love a pat. What can I do nearby? Explore our 100 acre property right where you are, or follow the dirt road 2km from your campsite to Kukandowie Nature Reserve. Bring your hiking books because she’s rough country in there! Worth the hike to see the cliffs. The scenes from the top are breathtaking. (6 min drive) The Coutts Crossing Golf club is a well maintained 9-hole course with first glass greens. (20 mins drive) Shannon Creek Dam is a massive 30,000 megalitre water reservoir. There are BBQs for cooking, picnic tables and toilets. You are not allowed to enter the dam or fish (it’s our drinking water) but it’s amazing to see such a volume of water, that’s not the ocean! (20 min drive) I highly suggest checking out the historic South Grafton main street (Skinner Street). Lots of funky little family-owned stores and cafes, great Op-shops (check out Hope Op-Shop where you can fill a bag for $5), walk to the end of Skinner Street and sit on the Jetty overlooking the mighty Clarence River. I could spend all day in South Grafton Main Street. (17 min drive) Nymboida canoeing hire can set you up for a day on the water (flat water or whitewater), or you can BYO kayak and follow Clarence Canoe and Kayak Trail which happens to be the longest whitewater trail in Australia. The Nymboida river is also famous for it’s fishing; Bass, Cod and Trout if you know where to look 😉 What facilities are nearby? (5 min drive) Coutts Crossing main street has a well-equipped general store & take-away shop, post office, loos and a BP servo, they will also refill gas bottles (22 min drive) Shopping world in Grafton has all the main retail outlets; fashion, food, BCF, Auto shops, plus there’s woolies and coles if you need any supplies. (25 min drive) Will get you to the M1 Pacific HighwayNote: Temporarily not taking bookings if you have a dog. The property has a wild dog baiting program in effect and it’s too risky at the moment for good doggos to visit. Still fine to camp with horses, they are not at risk. Wallaby Way is aprox 20m x 30m of mowed, flat area with a picnic table & fire pit (firewood supplied). It’s all yours, so feel free to spread out. You can drive straight through the camp site and back out to the road in a big loop making it very easy to access.
