It’s never crowded here & theres always space for your country get Away & camping trip.
Although there are currently some ongoing roadworks & work hour closures at P*e Dee hill , near Bellbrook , (which is on the Kempsey side ) we are currently open & accepting bookings… it’ all about the timing of your arrival!

Access from Armidale is still possible but again theres some road works to be aware of .

Theres quite a few Bass biting & other fish about presently
the river is an ideal swimming temperature & depth at the moment !
Added bonus is it’s Shark & crocodile free !
Also a great place to escape the heat & relax in & enjoy river.
You can even have a Hot shower& clean flushing toliets .

Lately campers have been catching Bass, around the 40 to 50cm size, on surface lures right from the comfort of the sites & camp chairs!
Or just come & enjoy the space & relax in a beautiful setting.

Amazing view of the night sky , stars & Milky Way with no light pollution
Incredible array of Birds & wildlife & friendly Speckle Park cows.

Message us for availability , bookings or more info.

We set up a swap library this xmas. Great to see so many books exchanged. It's the perfect place to kick back with a good read by the river.

Bookings are rolling in for the Jan long weekend. The bass are massive and the water clear and warm. Get in while you can!

We have truly enjoyed the festive season, engaging with 2 groups of Afghani refugees who shared their stories and traditional cuisine with us. An Indian group also regaled us with tales of their homeland. Our campground prides itself on being inclusive, welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds and faiths. We firmly believe that diversity is a strength, and everyone deserves a safe space. Happy holidays
