Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind private property nestled deep within a secluded valley in the stunning Byron Bay hinterlands. If you're searching for genuine peace, quiet, and a deep connection with nature, this is it. Imagine this: you're at the very end of a quiet valley road, where The Hidden Gem offers absolute privacy. There are no noisy neighbours or distracting lights here – just the tranquil sounds of the Australian bush. Our spacious camping area features 10 private tent and campervan sites set on a beautiful open meadow. It backs directly onto a vast national park, giving you direct access to established hiking trails. These paths lead straight to the top of nearby waterfalls, offering breathtaking panoramic views overlooking the entire valley. Feel free to explore our expansive grounds; you're welcome to wander through them, and yes, you can definitely enjoy a small campfire under the stars at your own campsite. We've got 300 meters of pristine, year-round, spring-fed creek frontage, complete with a beautiful swimming hole that's just perfect for a refreshing dip. Beyond the creek, take a peaceful stroll through our serene spring-fed lotus pond or explore the productive lychee orchard when it's in season. And those waterfalls? You'll find three enchanting ones within just 500 meters of the property, showing off their beauty from various vantage points. Plus, the iconic Minyon Falls is only a short 10-minute drive away. Guests have access to a charming small settlers cottage, which includes a cozy lounge area, a convenient kitchenette, and a warming fireplace – perfect for those cooler evenings. Right next door, a large, covered deck with its own fireplace offers an inviting communal space for relaxation. For your convenience, we provide clean flushing toilets and hot showers. And for the ultimate relaxation, our rejuvenating wood-fired cedar sauna is available upon request for an additional fee. Just a heads-up, you'll need to supply your own firewood for it. Despite its profound sense of seclusion, The Hidden Gem is surprisingly easy to get to. We're located just 20 minutes from the charming village of Federal, 35 minutes from the vibrant town of Mullumbimby, and only 45 minutes from the the world-renowned beaches of Byron Bay.

On a lush 286 acres backing onto Border Ranges National Park, we are surrounded by 3kms of creek with flowing slopes and beautiful sunset views of Mt Lindesay. For campers we are focusing on around 30 acres and spots close to Sawpit Creek would be ideal to set up camp. Bring your tent, swag or caravan and park up next to our beautiful Sawpit creek. Perfect for a swim! Currently there's a picnic table and some seating areas. We will be building a compost toilet and large BBQ area soon! Drinking water is available, and at the moment we are welcoming only self-contained campers who bring their own camping toilet/shower. Your pet is welcome to camp with you. Our property backs onto Border Ranges National Park! And you can see Mt Lindesay from our property, so bring your camera! It's 15 min to Wiangaree and 35 min to Kyogle. The camping area is 2WD accessible but you will have to cross some creeks. You should be ok in the 2WD as the creek crossing has a small incline and decline. We welcome caravans, campervans and camper-trailers/ tents. You may see us pass by the camping area from time to time. We are a friendly as 😊 and invite you to have a coffee or beer with us. There's no internet by the creek but you're more than welcome to connect to the wifi at our shack up the hill. No campfires please.

Experience Figtree Farm at Findon Creek, a 600-acre natural oasis. Tucked away in a tranquil, secluded valley, this hidden gem is surrounded by Long Creek to the south and Findon Creek to the west, while the northern edge extends to the breathtaking Border Ranges National Park. On Gullibal land, Figtree Farm provides captivating vistas of Jalgumbin (Mt Lindesay) to the west and Lever's Plateau, a designated wilderness area of unlogged subtropical rainforest, to the north. This much-loved family-owned farm has a rich history, transitioning from a dairy farm to a beef property. Today, it flourishes with a bio-diverse planting of native trees and a bespoke joinery workshop crafting designer furniture. While Figtree Farm has been a camping destination for family and friends for many years and now we're happy to extend this welcome to Hipcampers too. As a starting point for this new venture at Findon Creek we offer 3 sites which are all suitable for larger groups; all situated on grassy open spaces beside the creek. In wet conditions you will need a 4WD to access these sites, though the flats themselves are not boggy. Explore the great outdoors by wandering along our extensive bush tracks and trying your hand at fishing in our farm dam stocked with silver perch. Figtree Farm has an abundance of bird and animal life. Here, tranquillity reigns, save for the occasional serenade of our friendly neighbourhood donkeys and the odd rooster. If you wish to wander further afield, Kyogle is a 30 minute drive away. And there is an all weather tennis court (with lights) nearby at Bundgeam Hall. Figtree Farm at Findon Creek promises opportunities for contemplation, relaxation and fun and it is our wish that you will have many happy memories of your visit here.

Great location for groups/families.. Plenty of space between sites and very peaceful. Porta-loo and bins available. Owners were very friendly and came every day to check supplies in toilets and empty bins. Great creek for kids to swim in with turtles but path down can be tricky and slippery.

Vili's property is stunning. Sites are well spaces apart. Amenities block is so modern and nice and the communal sitting area is so inviting - both of which are only a minute walk from the camp sites. Super close to Minyon falls. Vili is a super helpful friendly guy, thankyou 🙏

Beautiful grassy open campsite with fire pits and lovely views surround by tall eucalypts and kookaburras. There’s a great communal area with clean showers, flushing toilets, and kitchen facilities. Nice flowing creek at the bottom of the property, it’s quite a steep walk or you can drive down and park at the bottom. Loved it! Great peaceful place to escape the hustle and bustle. Will definitely be back :)

Weekend Trip to The Hidden Gem

The Hidden Gem site truly lives up to its name. From the very start, the windy road in is all part of the magic, with a beautiful drive through a lush, subtropical paradise. Once dusk hits and the frogs quieten down, you can hear the distant waterfall doing its thing - bliss. Vili was incredibly helpful and genuinely made everything easy nothing was ever a problem. The showers and toilets were spotless and clearly well cared for, which always scores big points. So many perfect spots to sit back, relax, and soak in the views, it’s impossible not to unwind here. Big shout out to Ben & Odell who were our neighbours for the weekend ✌🏼 Thanks, Hidden Gem. We’ll be back very soon. 10/10 🌿 With love, Seana & Roman

Several families of ours spent a truly unforgettable Christmas here. There was plenty of space for children to play, and we could also set up tents outdoors. We enjoyed barbecuing together and singing, and it was all very relaxing. The environment is beautiful and quiet. In the mornings, we could see mist rolling through the mountains, which made the whole experience especially peaceful and refreshing. The host was very kind and patiently explained how everything worked. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing getaway.

This campsite is absolutely incredible. The scenery is beautiful, with private access to the mountain and trails that are perfect for exploring. The creek is stunning and easily one of our favorite parts of the stay. I had read a few previous reviews mentioning that accessing the creek was quite difficult, but that wasn’t our experience at all. We had our daughter and dog with us, and we found it very easy and safe to get down to the water. The facilities honestly blew us away… wow for a campsite! There’s a kitchenette, clean bathrooms, hot showers, and pretty much everything you could possibly need. It felt more like a retreat than a typical campground. The grounds themselves are beautifully maintained, and the host was incredibly welcoming and friendly. A special highlight was the kookaburras. You can feed them, and the hosts even provide the food, which was such a unique and memorable experience. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations in every way. We will definitely be coming back again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special camping experience.

Sites are well maintained with fire pits, rubbish bins and the best stocked Porto loos we have ever come across. Bit of a climb down to the swimming hole so keep that in mind, and non slip water shoes are needed.

A true hidden gem. If you want to disconnect for a while, enjoy beautiful scenery and wildlife this is the place. Gorgeous site, well kept, great modern facilities including a lovely big open deck our lounge area. Rain or shine, bases are covered. The kids are sure to love feeding the kookaburra's in the morning or evening, swimming in the waterhole to cool off, reading in the tree-top hammock or kicking the ball on the lovely green grass. Our dog came home exhausted from swimming, bush walking, rock hopping and playing with our kid. Can't go wrong.
