Twin Dams Campground – Private Farm Stay Camping Tabulam NSW

Escape to the rolling hills of the Northern Rivers hinterland for a peaceful and private farm stay experience at Twin Dams Campground. This beautiful property, located just a short drive from the village of Tabulam, offers a classic, self-sufficient bush escape for those looking to get away from it all. As the name suggests, the campground is set around two picturesque dams, providing a serene and beautiful backdrop for your stay. The spacious, grassy, and level sites are perfect for all types of self-contained setups, from tents and swags to caravans and camper trailers, with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the tranquility of the rural setting.

This is a paradise for those who love simple pleasures. The dams are perfect for a cooling dip on a warm day, a leisurely paddle in a kayak, or for trying your luck fishing for the resident silver perch. The campground is proudly and exceptionally pet-friendly, offering an almost endless amount of space for your dogs to run, play, and swim. As a back-to-basics farm stay, you need to be fully self-contained, bringing your own toilet, shower, and drinking water, and packing out all of your rubbish. The reward is a pristine environment and the freedom to enjoy a campfire under a brilliant, star-filled country sky. While the property offers a wonderful sense of seclusion, it’s also just a short drive to the mighty Clarence River for even more fishing and water sport opportunities. For a genuine, pet-friendly, and peaceful farm escape, Twin Dams is a fantastic choice.
