Big decent site and sunny or shady areas to choose from. Camping with animals. Just make sure your pets have taken tick and flea tablets due to live stock and long grass.

Great camping spot a few minutes from town and the beautiful beaches of Evans Head.
Cameron was an accommodating host and super knowledgeable of the area.
Amenities were much better than expected, including, chairs, table and the river with kayaks provided. Make use of the spotlights at night to keep animals away
Hoping to go back with a group!

We would highly recommend this campsite to anyone wanting to camp at Evans Head. The site is spacious and very well equipped, with a clean and practical shower/toilet block. The bonus shed provides extra shelter and extremely useful kitchen facilities, including a fridge, kettle, microwave, and fan.
The kids loved making a fire and cooking on the fire pit, and the surprise extra was being able to swim and kayak in the dam, with kayaks provided on site. It really is a fantastic little spot to camp.
The most outstanding part was meeting Cameron, who is a very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly host. We would highly recommend this site and will definitely be returning in the near future.

As a seasoned traveller, was easily in the top 3 farm camp experiences. Being so close to beaches, no mozzies at all, clear instructions and a very nice hi hello when they were mowing, absolutely booking again 🙌

Enjoyed our time, beautiful scenery, close to beach in Pottsville. Creek at this particular time (Jan 2026) was not flowing well enough that I would like to sit in to cool off as the cows travel through and I just didn’t feel comfortable. Found the instructions a little overwhelming, lots there to read and understand. All common sense with respecting others property. I would recommend, to tick off your list but we won’t be returning as there’s so much out there to see. Found price quite up there, I assume due to being highly rated. Thank you for letting us enjoy your property.

We absolutely loved our stay at Sleepy Hollow Manor Estate – Platypus Creek. Such a peaceful, quiet spot that felt wonderfully secluded and relaxing from the moment we arrived.
Tom met us on arrival and was incredibly welcoming, taking the time to show us a few great camping locations so we could choose the perfect spot. The creek was beautiful, a real highlight, and added to the calm, natural feel of the property.
The location is fantastic, especially if you enjoy being active. It’s so close to the Tweed Rail Trail, which made it ideal for our bike rides and runs, but still felt tucked away and tranquil back at camp.
If you’re looking for a quiet, nature filled escape with a thoughtful host and easy access to outdoor adventures, this place is a gem. We’d happily stay again.

My mates and I camped at Evan’s Head over the new year and had the time of our lives! It’s an amazing location a very short drive from town and the beach, the property is completely to yourself with plenty to explore. The facilities were more than what we were expecting with an awesome shed to sit under and a good shower and toilet. Plenty of back yard cricket spots and spots to set up our tents, plus the swimmable quarry right near the site was amazing to go swimming and kayaking in. Couldn’t recommend enough and will definitely be back!
