We had the most relaxing stay for 3 x nights and it was magic. A real plus was that we had the site to ourselves down by the creek, an extra bonus. The creek was so pretty, not a lot of water this time of year but I imagine it would be fabulous once some rain comes. None the less it was cooling just to walk through it and sit by it with a glass of wine and listen to the running water. The shower was so simple and simply fantastic!! We will definitely be going back. Thanks Grant Jo-Ellen and Aaron

We stayed for two nights at the Big Dam Camp Site and it was absolutely beautiful. Anna’s hospitality was incredible — she went above and beyond during our stay, and I would 100% recommend this place. We’ll definitely be back! 🥰 We forgot our gas bottles and all the firewood was wet, but Anna helped us out and even lent us her own gas bottle. We’re so thankful for such an amazing host! The campsite we chose had a little dam with a kayak, was extremely private, and was exactly what we were looking for. Perfect spot for a peaceful getaway!

What a beautiful site right next to the Brunswick River and tall trees all around. Facilities very cute with strawberries growing around the shower. Communication with Grant was easy. Very close to Mullumbimby but feels miles away from civilisation. Would happily stay again.

Weekend Trip to Tweed Valley - Doon Doon Farm

We had an incredible stay at Big Dam Camp, Tweed Valley (Doon Doon Farm). The views were absolutely stunning, and the sense of isolation made it feel like our own private piece of paradise. Surrounded by nature, with friendly cows wandering by and peaceful scenery all around, it was the perfect escape. Just a short drive to Nimbin too, which made for a great day trip. Highly recommend this spot for anyone wanting to unwind and reconnect with nature.
