Thankyou for considering Dungarubba Fields.
We offer you a well located and secure camp-site to explore the North Coast or for that overnight stay while you are travelling to your destination and need a safe place to camp.
Our four campsites are spacious and are freshly mown flat grassed sites. Each campsite has 1 or 2 stone circles for campfires, with free kindling and free firewood supplied to all campsites. Whether you are a single traveller, a couple, family or group booking we have the campsite for you. We are family friendly and dog friendly.
Dungarubba Fields is a private, rural setting on six acres on Bundjalung country. Four of our camp sites are situated across a small bridge in the back paddock, and one camp site is situated just before the bridge for those self driving campervans with a wider wheel-base.
The paddock was once cleared and in recent years we have planted and cared for over 100 new Koala and rainforest trees.
After the Northern Rivers floods of 2022 we are now continuing the bush regeneration beside the Dungarubba wetland which borders our property.
Our camp-sites offer shade, space, wildlife and birdlife. Campfires are allowed 12 months a year depending on fire ratings and local conditions except on days of Total Fire Ban and the preceding evening going into a Total Fire Ban.
We supply the free firewood to each campsite as we understand how important the campfire is to the camping experience.
Outside the fire season we can supply a readymade Bonfire at an additional cost to your booking.
Hipcampers can access fresh drinking water (rainwater) from our rainwater tanks, with an accessible tap near our home.
Hipcampers have access to a downstairs flushing toilet at the house.
We offer a Portaloo for larger group bookings situated beside your camp site as an optional extra for an additional cost. The Portaloo needs to be booked when you make your booking.
The house on the property was originally built in 1903 as the Catholic Church of the nearby locality Riley's Hill.
In the 1940’s it was moved to the current site after low attendance by parishioners who didn’t want to have to row across the Richmond River and get their feet wet to attend Mass. The church sold the building in the 1980’s and it was raised off the ground with two new wings attached on either side to become a private residence.
The sugar cane and soybeans, however more surrounding land is being planted to Macadamia nuts which will change the look of the landscape in future.
During May to November of an evening, you can look out for the occasional cane fire which is a historic part of the harvesting of sugar.
The Richmond River and boat ramp is a short 2 minutes drive for both fishing and water skiing.
The Broadwater National Park with sand-dunes and a fishing beach is only a 10 minute drive away. The Pacific Highway is 7 minutes drive away. The beautiful coastal village of Evans Head with shops, a medical clinic and a patrolled beach is just a 15 minutes drive.
The nearest townships are Broadwater (2 fuel stations and a pub under new management), Coraki (junction of 2 rivers), Woodburn (pub with a bistro and a laundrette) and Evans Head (a township with most services).
We are a 45 minutes drive to Byron Bay and 25 minutes to the coastal city of Ballina up the Pacific Highway or 25 minutes drive inland to the city of Lismore.
We welcome friendly dogs and there is plenty of space for them to run around and chase balls or other dogs.
Our dog Stella is a 4 year old Blue Heeler, who greets people from the balcony barking as you drive in. Don’t let the barking fool you as she loves visitors and their dogs.
We expect owners to be responsible for their dogs and in particularly when there are Koalas close by.
We ask dogs not to roam at night as Koalas are nocturnal (and so are other critters) and night-time is when they choose their food tree for the next day and roam around. We are in Core Koala Habitat and love our koalas, we hope you do too.
We look forward to hosting you and in creating a sensational camping experience for you.

When it rains, some of the areas may get muddy. Please reach out to Host with any questions about this.
There are walking tracks or bike riding for kids, if you have a horse or pony you can bring them along too. How about a game of outdoors skittles or spot the native plants, pick a citrus fruit or maybe spot a wallaby, echidna, possum or laugh with the kookaburra's.

Your pet, on a lead, is welcome to camp with you. We love animals, but one of the reasons we left suburbia was to get away from barking dogs. If your dog barks at night, or is not we’ll socialised, you’re best to leave pooch at home!
Our place is family friendly and we ask that you keep music and noise to a minimum after 10pm.

Thankyou for considering Dungarubba Fields.
We offer you a well located and secure camp-site to explore the North Coast or for that overnight stay while you are travelling to your destination and need a safe place to camp.
Our four campsites are spacious and are freshly mown flat grassed sites. Each campsite has 1 or 2 stone circles for campfires, with free kindling and free firewood supplied to all campsites. Whether you are a single traveller, a couple, family or group booking we have the campsite for you. We are family friendly and dog friendly.
Dungarubba Fields is a private, rural setting on six acres on Bundjalung country. Four of our camp sites are situated across a small bridge in the back paddock, and one camp site is situated just before the bridge for those self driving campervans with a wider wheel-base.
The paddock was once cleared and in recent years we have planted and cared for over 100 new Koala and rainforest trees.
After the Northern Rivers floods of 2022 we are now continuing the bush regeneration beside the Dungarubba wetland which borders our property.
Our camp-sites offer shade, space, wildlife and birdlife. Campfires are allowed 12 months a year depending on fire ratings and local conditions except on days of Total Fire Ban and the preceding evening going into a Total Fire Ban.
We supply the free firewood to each campsite as we understand how important the campfire is to the camping experience.
Outside the fire season we can supply a readymade Bonfire at an additional cost to your booking.
Hipcampers can access fresh drinking water (rainwater) from our rainwater tanks, with an accessible tap near our home.
Hipcampers have access to a downstairs flushing toilet at the house.
We offer a Portaloo for larger group bookings situated beside your camp site as an optional extra for an additional cost. The Portaloo needs to be booked when you make your booking.
The house on the property was originally built in 1903 as the Catholic Church of the nearby locality Riley's Hill.
In the 1940’s it was moved to the current site after low attendance by parishioners who didn’t want to have to row across the Richmond River and get their feet wet to attend Mass. The church sold the building in the 1980’s and it was raised off the ground with two new wings attached on either side to become a private residence.
The sugar cane and soybeans, however more surrounding land is being planted to Macadamia nuts which will change the look of the landscape in future.
During May to November of an evening, you can look out for the occasional cane fire which is a historic part of the harvesting of sugar.
The Richmond River and boat ramp is a short 2 minutes drive for both fishing and water skiing.
The Broadwater National Park with sand-dunes and a fishing beach is only a 10 minute drive away. The Pacific Highway is 7 minutes drive away. The beautiful coastal village of Evans Head with shops, a medical clinic and a patrolled beach is just a 15 minutes drive.
The nearest townships are Broadwater (2 fuel stations and a pub under new management), Coraki (junction of 2 rivers), Woodburn (pub with a bistro and a laundrette) and Evans Head (a township with most services).
We are a 45 minutes drive to Byron Bay and 25 minutes to the coastal city of Ballina up the Pacific Highway or 25 minutes drive inland to the city of Lismore.
We welcome friendly dogs and there is plenty of space for them to run around and chase balls or other dogs.
Our dog Stella is a 4 year old Blue Heeler, who greets people from the balcony barking as you drive in. Don’t let the barking fool you as she loves visitors and their dogs.
We expect owners to be responsible for their dogs and in particularly when there are Koalas close by.
We ask dogs not to roam at night as Koalas are nocturnal (and so are other critters) and night-time is when they choose their food tree for the next day and roam around. We are in Core Koala Habitat and love our koalas, we hope you do too.
We look forward to hosting you and in creating a sensational camping experience for you.

When it rains, some of the areas may get muddy. Please reach out to Host with any questions about this.
There are walking tracks or bike riding for kids, if you have a horse or pony you can bring them along too. How about a game of outdoors skittles or spot the native plants, pick a citrus fruit or maybe spot a wallaby, echidna, possum or laugh with the kookaburra's.

Soulhaven is set on 50 stunning acres with lovely valley views and bush walks. Lots of grazing cows, abundant bird life, a cute dog and fireside jams 🎶
A short 15 minute drive takes you to Lismore, Kyogle and Casino where you can find shops and grocery stores for all your supply needs.
We are professional musicians and love to meeting people. Elphie used to own the iconic Nimbin Rox backpacker hostel, and although Soulhaven is only in its infancy, it still has a relaxed atmosphere.
Our favourite part of living at Soulhaven is the daily orchestra of birds! Although you will feel like you’re completely secluded from busy town-life, we are only 15 minutes from the nearest shops.
Enjoy a toasty campfire in the evenings where you can sit back and gaze at the stars. There are trail bikes tracks nearby and the iconic Border Ranges is just past Kyogle.
This campsite is 2WD friendly and caravans are welcome. You may need to level your caravan for a good night's rest.
Your pet, on a lead, is welcome to camp with you. We love animals, but one of the reasons we left suburbia was to get away from barking dogs. If your dog barks at night, or is not we’ll socialised, you’re best to leave pooch at home!
Our place is family friendly and we ask that you keep music and noise to a minimum after 10pm.

A beautiful grassy camping area with ever flowing creeks and swimming holes that wrap around lush forests.
Situated on a beautiful 70acre property just five minutes drive from the well known Minyon Falls only 25 mins to Byron Bay and 20 mins Mullumbimby
Ever so quiet with birds singing, it’s the perfect place to switch off and unwind
We wish you a magical stay.

Our stay at this HipCamp was a godsend as it rained heavily when we arrived and it was no big deal with the deck and roof there to keep us dry!!
We just backed our Bruder to the deck and we were in heaven!! The outside shower was divine and the toot was so not stinky and done well!!
We would love to return!! 💗

This is such a beautiful place for nature lovers. Perfect for relaxing and enjoying an immersive experience of quiet and solitude in pristine bushland. The camp site is well cared for. There is a large shelter that was very convenient when it rained.

Surrounded by nature, peaceful and perfect for truly disconnecting and recharging.
Chris welcomed my husband and me so warmly. He is incredibly friendly, kind, and went above and beyond to explain everything about the property with great care and attention. We felt very comfortable and well looked after from the moment we arrived.
We absolutely loved our stay and would love to come back again. It’s the perfect place to rest, relax, and forget about everyday worries. Highly recommended!

Zaytuna Farm Eco Hamlet is a relaxing, humble place that’s perfect whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or with the whole family. The facilities are great and well maintained. You can swim in the creek, go for peaceful walks surrounded by nature, or simply sit on the green pastures, look up at the blue sky, and unwind. It’s a truly calming experience and I’d definitely recommend it.

I’ve camped here twice now, once with a large group and then as a couple, and had a great time! It feels nicely remote while still being within a five minute drive of shops/cafe.
The creek is so lovely and Jessica and her partner were very helpful and accomodating. I recommend her delicious jams!
The general store in Federal had everything we needed, from gas bottles to yummy snacks.
Directions are straightforward and roads are signed. Lower cars can definitely get through but just fyi our friend’s car scraped the bottom so just something to consider. The weather was perfect when we stayed so can’t speak on the access after rainfall.
Will definitely be back!

Second stay here and once again a great stay. The grounds were immaculate and mowed as usual. Even arriving late on a Friday, Phil still came down and delivered our firewood. Really enjoy Brickella, quiet again for a public holiday.

Staying at Zytuna Farm Eco Hamlet is a truly unforgettable experience where you can immerse yourself in a totally off-grid permaculture farm and experience nature in its most natural form. We stayed on the raised platforms, took an amazing tour of the farm with Geoff and left with some organic veggies, fresh eggs and perennial greens to take home with us to start us on our own journey. A wonderful community to be a small part of, we're so thankful to have had this experience in a truly special part of the world.

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!

Chris was so welcoming, he had everything we needed and the glamping tents were so cute. He had lots of facilities that had we been able to stay longer we totally would have taken advantage of. My only thing to note is that the road out to this site can be a little rough so if you don’t have a 4WD just be warned. Otherwise the site itself is marvellous and Chris is a very responsive and helpful host.
