Gitsho, Rainbow Reach is a farming area along side the Macleay river. Its only 20mins from me & have never heard of any camping there.
The nearest camping would be at South West Rocks, 10 mins away with several caravan parks & National park. Then Hat Head ,30 mins away with C,park & NP. or Kempsey with several c/van parks & showground.
There are boat ramps at SWR, Jersyville, Smithtown & Kempsey all onto the Macleay rv.

Edit for adddition;
Just looked at your details, there's a couple of free camping areas on the Macleay rv, about 1.5 & 2 hrs up river from here towards Armidale, also suitable for bass fishing.
At the moment we are like a lot of others, facing another flood so the fishing will be off for a while.
Have just had another 200ml , river rising.

When are you thinking of going, it would probably be underwater at the moment.
