Across the river and just 15 minutes from the Scottish town of Maclean, nestled high in the Yamba hinterland\. You will not hear traffic, you will not see headlights\. Pure peace and tranquility for you to relax, chill and enjoy\. The sites are surrounded by rugged mountainous bush land with views, trails, cliffs, 3 creeks to explore and includes a private lake ‘Lake Arid’ with its own island, ‘Dead Dog Island’\. Swim, paddle, fish, play\. Metres away is another private swimming hole ‘Pants Off Pond’ stocked with Silver Perch and Bass\. So whether you indulge in pants off, or leave them on and just fish it’s up to you\. Explore a little further and you’ll find ‘The Abyss’ a former micro quarry, 9m deep waterhole\. The creeks have waterfalls, swimming holes, pure and clean, though are a rugged unmarked hike\. The sites are site only\. You’ll need to take care of your waste, water, rubbish and power\. Generator is ok, we’re out of earshot, so is everyone else\. Each site has a picnic table and a fire pit and an abundance of ‘cut your own’ firewood upon the ground\. Remember, fires this time of year are for ‘cooking only’, so be sure to bring those marshmallows… Pet Friendly, 4WD friendly with a bunch of serious challenges too… Horse friendly too, yep, there’s a yard to keep them too, up by the house\. Accessible by 2WD with sites with enough space for any size caravan or motor home\. While exploring, if you find a spot you’d rather camp, simply ask\. We live on the property so help is nearby for any issues and the access road is shared\. Peace, quiet and nature abounds\. ## Key facts - Coordinates: -29.438314, 153.183118 ## Address Ashby, New South Wales, AU ## Amenities - Cliff - Drinking\_water - Farm - Fire\_pit - Fires - Firewood - Forest - Island - Lake - Mountain - Picnic Table - Picnic\_table - Potable Water - Prairie - River - Rv - Rv\_camping - Swimming - Tent - Tent\_camping ## Structured data (schema.org) Also available as raw JSON: http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/listings/campgrounds/natures-retreat-ashby-new-south-wales.json ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Campground", "@id": "http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/listings/campgrounds/natures-retreat-ashby-new-south-wales", "name": "Nature’s Retreat", "description": "Located, just 25 minutes from the pristine beaches of Yamba and Iluka.
