General
- Wildlife haven on a Clarence Valley sugarcane, llama and alpaca farm
- A 20-minute drive from Angourie and 40 minutes from Grafton
- Portable toilets and showers available; home-cooked meals available
What’s life like on a sugarcane farm? Well, with grinning alpacas and llamas and open greens as far as the eyes can see, life is certainly sweet. Find a spot among the grassy sites at Cardiff Alpacas, a family-friendly working alpaca farm where you can stay in the Clarence Valley among wild rivers, wetlands and mauve Jacaranda trees. And within 40 minutes’ drive from Grafton and 20 minutes to Angourie, this Harwood Island campground is well within reach of several surf-heavy sandy beaches.
With 35 acres of carefully maintained pastures and shade from trees, this is a peaceful wild campground with no toilet and shower facilities. However, guests can hire portable toilets and shower units in fixed locations.
The whole family tagging along? No problem… take them along a tour of the campground and see how the farm processes alpaca fleece into products, visit the farm kiosk on the campground to pick up some local produce, and make sure all mouths are fed with a range of home-cooked meals available on the campground.
The village of Harwood Island itself has more opportunities to dip into the local gastronomy, with a riverside pub within five minutes’ drive. After all, it’s almost certain you’ll have worked up an appetite after a day spent sailing, cycling, or fishing your way along the river valley.

Location
Local attractions
Is that purple rain? No, it’s just the mauve shades of the Jacaranda trees lining the streets of Grafton (40 minutes’ drive). You can see them in their full glory in See Park (40 minutes). And when the craving for more jaw-dropping scenery hits, head to ‘the Scottish town in Australia’, Maclean (10 minutes), where you can fish against a backdrop of valley views.
For world-class swells, head to Angourie (20 minutes), where surfing and fishing is part and parcel of the seaside town, and swimming in the freshwater Angourie Blue and Green Pools (25 minutes) is a rite of passage. Spooky Beach (20 minutes) isn’t as fearsome as it sounds, with a sandy stretch to unwind on.
Nearby Yamba (20 minutes) has more surfing beaches and a wander-worthy reel of sights, including Flinders Well, Yamba Lighthouse and the Yamba Historical Museum.
Although it may be further to go, but the Everlasting Swamp National Park (an hour) is a rare sight worth the trip, and your best chance to glimpse rare species of birds among the wetlands.
