We loved our stopover night at Brickella. The directions to the property were great and once on the property was easy to find a great, quiet and secluded place to camp the night. We were greeted by a very friendly horse that wonders around the camp area. We met Phil while we were fishing, he is a top bloke and he was happy to share his story about the property. We will definitely be back to this hipcamp in the future.

A really beautiful property. Flat, level grassy fields set amongst the trees. Lots of kangaroos, birds and a friendly horse. There is so much room to sprawl out, you are guaranteed privacy. Great for kids too with so much room to run and make noise. Phil was exceptionally welcoming and made us feel right at home. No issues with access towing 22ft off road caravan. Would absolutely recommend and we will definitely return.

Phil is a great guy with a beautiful property. He was really friendly and cool to chat to but laid back and easy going. The space is so big that you can easily find a private spot to your liking. The mozzies are hardcore but not a problem if you bring some heavy duty bug repellent. There were a few other people camping as it was peak season during summer holidays but we felt secluded in our own beautiful temporary home in nature… will definitely be coming back!

We had our first girls-only, off-grid camping experience in our new caravan at Eltham Station, and it was absolutely perfect. The property is beautifully maintained, peaceful, and truly feels like an escape. Campsites are well spaced, so you never feel crowded.
We loved being able to bring our pup and enjoy a campfire under the stars. The girls had the best time exploring the creek and climbing trees. We planned to use the kayaks, but games of Uno and reading books won out this time - kayaking will have to wait for next trip!
This is the ideal spot for anyone wanting a genuine rural camping experience. The cows wander by, there’s an abundance of birdlife, ducks, and other wildlife, and even lizards happily basking in the sun right beside your camp chair! While we didn’t spot any platypus or owls on this visit, the wolf moon made the trip unforgettable.
Thank you! We'll be back.

Oh my god. Mosquito central! Phil the host is so lovely, and we really enjoyed staying here but man we were not prepared for the influx of the mozzies. None of our heavy duty repellants cut the mustard, and even our super smoky fires only staved them off for a little bit. We tried to go for a fish at the creek but could only last 10-20 minutes before driven out with bugs. One of our dogs broke out in a huge bumpy rash from them, and you could see a black cloud of them following the dogs everywhere even with repellant on them. We are avid campers, but have never experienced this level of them before. Mozzies aside, the camp site was so pretty. Lovely and flat, with beautiful bushlands around. The more private sites are towards the bushland, otherwise you’re very exposed. The camp was very well maintained and it’s clear Phil puts a lot of effort into this place. There was chopped up wood and limbs all over for firewood and he was more than happy for our pups to run off lead. The camp horse is also incredibly friendly and has to be one of the most tolerant horses I have ever met… not even tilting an ear at our boisterous dogs. We definitely would stay here again, just not any time at all near mosquito season!

This is a good camp to base yourself whilst exploring the nearby beaches, less than 30 mins to Lennox Head and Ballina. Camps are set up right along the creek/lagoon and the host was very friendly and helpful. The creek was not good for swimming but there were some other campers kayaking the creek and we often seen turtles surfacing. Good permanent firepit and nice open paddocks. The entry was well signed and grounds maintained.

A great experience at Ginger Nut Farm!
Beautiful land and trees, refreshing swims in the creek and most notably, a great sense of community and wonderful people. Perfect place if you're camping with dogs so much for them to explore. A range of cool activities were offered as well such as glow worm nature walk, basket making and body painting. The surrounding areas of Nimbin and Kyogle offer beautiful scenery for day trips and Hanging Rock Falls only 10 min drive away is well worth checking out. Definitely would recommend staying at Ginger Nut Farm, as a young(ish) female I always felt safe, comfortable and included.

Beautiful spot 🌿
A lovely grassy area to set up camp.
There’s a lower camp area closer to the river that I’ll probably try next time.
Super peaceful — the road is very quiet, and once the dam closes after 5pm you’d be lucky to see a car go past.
Only a 15-minute drive into Murwillumbah and about 3 minutes to Uki.
