Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
We are located just 30 minutes from Tenterfield, an historic town in the rolling New England region. Here you will find a superb wilderness.
Splitters Swamp Creek runs out of the hills, crystal clear water pours over the very beautiful granite rocks - creating a stunning waterfall and a shallow pool at the bottom. It then meanders gently down the valley surrounded by timber.
Visitors are welcome to walk a distance exploring the granite rock formations in and around the creek.
The campsite is located in a very private location, surrounded by a mix of vegetation and tall trees. There is a variety of native wildlife around, including bird life and a variety of wallabies. The native flora is beautiful, too.
In town you will find shops and suppliers for all your camping needs. While you're there, check out the heritage architecture, great cafes, interesting shops.
If you're up for an adventure further afield, the nearby national parks are perfect for outdoor adventures, from bushwalking to swimming and you can take the Boonoo Boonoo Falls walking track to a waterfall that drops 210 metres into a gorge, and enjoy eye-popping panoramas in Bald Rock National Park.
Don't forget to bring your camera!

The campsite at Splitters Swamp Creek offers a beautiful and tranquil escape, with its secluded spots beside a creek and waterfall. Many campers appreciate the privacy and the opportunity to spot wildlife like kangaroos and wallabies. However, some visitors have found it challenging to locate the site due to unclear directions and occasional communication issues with the host. Despite these concerns, the overall sentiment remains positive, with guests enjoying the natural beauty and peaceful surroundings.
Beautiful spot, so peaceful camping right beside the waterfall/creek with lots of wildlife. Kids had so much fun exploring the creek and the waterfall. 10/10 recommend this place 🙌🏽
I have been to Splitters' Creek campsite on a few occasions and had a most enjoyable time with friends from overseas and with family.
However, the last time 12 - 14 January 2025, we were awakened at around midnight by rifle shots. earlier that day we had sen spent 303 cartridges on the dirt road near the campsite. This is not a good activity to have been happening when there are visitors with kids and family nearby. if an incident occurred there would be uproar.
I am unsure whether the shooters were members of the property owners' family or friends, or possibly uninvited visitors. In any case, there is no place for theis activity on a property open to the paying public. The danger signs are eberywhere. I will not be returning to this splendid property, unfortunately.
