Meraki Farm Eureka (MFE) is situated in the Byron Bay Hinterland, a short drive to the beautiful townships of Clunes and Federal and 10min to Bangalow. MFE is a 30-acre organic farm with approximately 800 macadamia trees, 50 avocado trees, Barbara the sheep, Daria and Nigel - the donkeys and cattle. We only accept one booking at a time so you’ll have complete privacy and seclusion: a maximum of eight guests in your group. There is a small creek that is fed from two neighbouring natural springs and a larger creek where you’ll camp. Access to the campsite is ok with an SUV however, we recommend a 4WD after wet weather. You'll need to provide your own camp toilet; and BYO drinking water. Currently, there’s plenty of firewood around, but fires are subject to NSW restrictions. You’re welcome to explore to property and collect some macadamia nuts (currently there is no charge for this - so fill your bucket). The creeks have an abundance of wildlife and if you're lucky you may see a platypus or koala. Bring your hammock and hang near the creek.We have a beautiful creekside grass area to camp on, plenty of space. Cows move around the macadamia trees just past the fenced-off camp area, there is lots of wildlife around including platypus, turtles, and wallabies. The creekside campsite requires a 4WD in wet weather or AWD if the conditions have been dry. There is plenty of firewood and only one group stay at a time, so you'll have complete privacy. String up your hammock or walk around the macas or creeks. Enjoy the peace and quiet and switch off :)

Meraki Farm Eureka

The perfect campsite

It's tempting to keep this one a secret because it is THE PERFECT campsite. A babbling stream, endless supply of Macca nuts, and complete serenity all to yourself. Abundant wildlife to spot and plenty of scenic walks to do or a cool dip in the clear creek are just some of the things on offer here.. Highly recommend this sweet spot and you won't find a nicer host than Tim. He made sure we had everything we needed and guided us to the site stopping at points of interest along the way. His warm hospitality made this campsite even more special. This area has so much to offer you wont won't to leave. Just book it you won't regret it. Tip.. Take a walk to the thinking tree and enjoy

A beautiful and secluded spot, right on the river with fantastic countryside views. Tim was a great host, super helpful and informative. Couldn't recommend this site more highly!

Helpful host & stunning scenery!

Tim was helpful from our initial enquiry until the moment we arrived. The location was very scenic, and the property had lots to explore including its own flowing creek and lots of wildlife! We will be back 😁

What an incredible site. It was great to have such an awesome creek all to ourselves. The area was perfect for a family getaway and our kids loved it. The track down to the site made it feel like a bit of adventure too. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Creek camping at its finest

Tempted to put a bad review just so it’s more likely that this place will be available next time I want to go! Booked for two nights, extended for a third.. what a beautiful spot; the creek and the wildlife it supplies just makes it! Met Tim and his son Harry, both lovely and very welcoming people. Ended up having a few commonalities with Tim and stayed chatting for a while and probably could’ve kept chatting for hours.. but I should mention this was only when we were up near his property, the rest of the time he left us to our privacy way down at the campsite. The only further info I will mention is related to 4WD access. 99% of the time you won’t ‘need’ to put it in 4WD, but it does assist on the downhill. Although if there has been a day or two worth of solid rain, the steep hill out will give you a challenge. My Navara with full tyre pressure and no diff lock couldn’t get over the first lip, it was not a big deal for me but something that should be considered for others. The next day was sunny and the hill dried up quickly and was no issue at all getting up. Tim also mentioned that in a worst case scenario he has a tractor that can be utilised, which was reassuring if there was a massive downpour. Overall this is by far my favourite spot I’ve found for privacy and relaxation. The big highlights would be laying in the cool creek ‘rapids’ while having a few beers, or just watching the resident family of turtles do their thing in the afternoon sun.. 10/10!!
