The best mountainous camping near Brunswick Heads

At the mouth of the Brunswick River, the seaside village of Brunswick Heads is just 20 minutes drive north of Byron Bay, but it feels a world away. A much less frenetic version of Byron Bay, pretty Brunswick Heads—Bruns to the locals—has all the things that make Byron Bay so popular, like a beautiful surf beach, vegan cafes, hippy tarot card readers and a friendly pub with a shady beer garden, but without the traffic snarls and parking meters. Family friendly, the river has some good swimming spots ideal for little kids. An added bonus is that the three caravan parks are all riverside, and campsites are much more affordable because the celebrities and fashionistas haven’t discovered just how great this place is yet.Proudly boasting that it’s ‘the biggest little town in Australia’s Mullumbimby (locals call it Mullum), is just a 10-minute drive west of Brunswick Heads. Like nearby Nimbin, it’s a centre for counter culture, although a little less in your face. Full of lovely historic buildings, it makes for a great day trip from Brunswick Heads or Byron Bay. Attractions include the colourful Mullumbimby markets (every third Saturday) and the Crystal Castle and Shambhala Gardens, home to some of the tallest crystals in the world. (https://www.crystalcastle.com.au/) Part of the World Heritage Gondwana rainforest, Border Ranges National Park and the neighbouring ridges that flank the coast are part of ancient volcano. The Tweed Valley is the crater. You can explore it by car on the Tweed Scenic Drive that runs along the edge of the caldera. Highlights include rainforest walking tracks and spectacular lookouts, as well as some lovely rainforest campsites in the national parks. It’s almost impossible to resist the siren call of the shops and boho glitz of Byron Bay, which is only 16km south of Brunswick Heads. It's the place to go for shopping and fine dining or perhaps a spa treatment. Go for the day and enjoy the surf beaches, soak in the view from the Cape Byron lighthouse, and indulge in some people watching.Follow the coast road, rather than the Pacific Motorway, north from Brunswick Heads to Tweed Heads at the southern end of the Gold Coast and you’ll discover a string of sleepy little seaside communities such as Pottsville, Mooball Creek, Cabarita and Kingscliff, each with their own beachfront caravan park or camping ground.

Such a great spot! The property is beautiful; waking up to the sound of the birds and watching the cows in the morning was a great way to start the day. We had a lovely, shaded site right by the trees and access to the toilets was great.

Weekend Trip to Stokers Creekside Stay

Absolutely stunning spot. Lush and secluded. Beautifully maintained spot - you can just tell Tracey and Brett put a lot of time and effort into this space to keep it accessible but still isolated for privacy. Kids had a blast on the swings and on their bikes, and got a chance to ride a small part of the rail trail. Hands down would visit again and again!

We had a wonderful three‑night stay. The adults, kids, and dogs all had a great time. It was so peaceful, and being close to the beach was a huge bonus too. Our toddler especially loved the little bush walk to Platypus Pocket. The views and the cows were a highlight too. A perfect family weekend.

We loved camping here, the sites are week spread which meant you didn’t hear any of your neighbours throughout the stay. The horses were friendly and didn’t mind having a munch of the grass around us. It’s a really beautiful and peaceful spot. Well looked after property.

1 night at Rowlands Creek Camp Area

We enjoyed our 1 night stay on the creek. We had a lovely dip near the causeway where it was a little deeper , and at night we saw catfish and an eel in the creek below our camp. We had the whole paddock to ourselves, away from other campers. The toilet was clean and well stocked with paper. Rowlands is a very relaxing environment to hang out in.

Brunswick Heads camping guide

When to go

Like nearby Byron Bay, the weather is kind all year round, so there’s no really bad time to go, although it does get a bit rainy in February and March. It gets very busy during summer and Easter school holidays, when it pays to book campsites well in advance.

Know before you go

Go retro in style and hire a vintage caravan, set up with everything you need. It will be waiting for you at the camping site of your choice. https://retropod.com.au/
Brunswick Heads is almost exactly halfway between Ballina and the Gold Coast airport in Queensland, which doubles your flight options. If you do fly in or out of the Gold Coast remember there’s a one-hour time difference between NSW and Queensland thanks to daylight saving in summer.
The Brunswick River is perfect for kayaking. Hire a kayak from the Scout Hall (across the footbridge from town) and paddle the Brunswick River brunswickriverkayaktours.com.au
Ask at the Brunswick Heads Visitors Centre (7 Park St, Brunswick Heads) for a free ‘clue sheet’ and use it to follow the Brunswick Heads Fairy Trail to find little fairy houses that have been hidden all over town. Adults love it just as much as kids.
