Weekend Trip to "JALUM" Undulating Farmland!

A nice getaway with the family. There is so much space you’ll not even hear other campers. We stayed 2 nights which would be max for us with kids. They are 7 and 5 and not much for them to do but that didn’t stop us wandering around and playing cards & board games. They loved the horses which hang out with you at camp. If you are looking for a quiet couple of days passing through I would highly recommend

This was a wonderful spot, you have the whole site to yourself which is great if you're a noisy bunch! The creek was gorgeous to swim in, we had some heavy rainfall so there were plenty of leeches and ticks but with the dogs on nexgard they were fine. Protestor falls 10mins down the road was well worth the trip!

Was nice to be able to get to the waterfall early in the morning before the big crowd. Camp is right down the road from Protestor falls.

It was an old fish farm with a number of ponds on the property unfortunately we had no luck

My family and I stayed 2 nights at Jalum. We found the location very convenient As It is close proximity to Northern Rivers Trail Ride and Hastings Point Postville Cabarita Beaches. There are a number of horses and even an Alpaca which roam free around the property. Most seem friendly to approach albeit mischievous. Note they will enter your campsite if left open and unattended. The Moo Moo Rodhouse and Victory Hotel is less than 5 minutes from Jalum and both have decent food offerings. There is even an inground pool free to use for patrons of the hotel. Thank you Karen for opening up your property to Campers.

Even with the warmer weather, the water temperature was perfectly refreshing. Our hosts were wonderful—they stopped by to say hi and shared some great tips on local spots to visit.
