Beautiful spot by the river. Dom was a very good host. Definitely recommend his place for a quiet camp, fire, river swim and kayak.

Highly recommended
Second time we have stayed here. Magis spot on the river and close to Bellingen shops. Hosts are friendly and a pleasure to deal with

Great location, but for $80 a night I would expect the grass to be cut short and the "firewood supplied" to be more that just find yourself whatever you can along the river bank (which amounted to very little, so we had to buy firewood). Most of the sites are do not have direct river views due to the overgrown riverbank vegetation, other than a few that are located at the top of a steep bank without river access.

Easter by the Bello river
We loved our stay at Doms in Bellingen- great big sites by the river. Toilet was clean and wood provided was a bonus! We loved swimming everyday in the river. Dom was welcoming and a great host. We will be back!

We chose this amazing Hipcamp for our Easter Break and as a base to explore Dorrigo National Park, Bellingen, Waterfall Way and Coffs Coast. On arrival we were greeted by Dom on a four wheel ATV who we followed down the track to the Ballinger river camp sites. He pointed out the available sites to us but had reserved an awesome spot with gentle sloping river access within 10m of our van. There were 2 kayaks available for use which were amazing to paddle along the river. The river is very clear with a rocky base and there is even a rope swing on the opposite side of the river. There was Potable water at the entrance to the property so Jerry cans or water bladders are essential if you want to fill up your van tanks without moving your van. There is a dump point 5 mins away in a street behind the show ground. Note this is a one way street so don’t enter with a caravan. We had a very relaxing stay and would love to come back.

Absolute delightful stay.
What a fantastic place to stay. Dom was a fantastic host along with his wife. On arrival Dom greeted us as i filled up my van with water and he showed us a few sites that we were able to choose from. The sites were all very well kept with mowed grass and flat spaces to setup. A firepit at each site with free firewood to use. The long drop toilet was clean (as clean as a long drop toilet can be :) ) and easily accessible. The site we chose was looking over the river and was fantastic. We absolutely loved our stay in Bellingen and will definitely be back! The township has a lot to offer and nearby Coffs is about 25 mins drive. Highly recommended!
