Eco Shalom Nature Jessria Farm

11 sites · RVs, Tents50 acres · Federal, NSW
A beautiful eco-friendly property with lovely water holes and running water from the river where the environment is safe. Pitch your tent or drive in your camper van in a secluded area with lots of trees and natural environment where birds will wake you with their morning song. A beautiful stroll to the nearby river is a wonderful experience, explore or swim in the beauty of nature around you. If you are quiet enough you might see a platypus. There is a natural stone campfire where you can sit at night or meet other campers. Or just to sit and gaze at the stars. The little quaint villages that surround Federal are great for a visit. If you want the best sushi in the area then stop at the popular Doma Cafe next to the general store in Federal, you will want to visit more than once after your taste buds have been awakened. Byron bay is a 15-20 min drive on a scenic drive, or visit the biggest little town in Australia Mullumbimby a 15-18 min drive. Bangalow and Lennox heads, Brunswick Heads or Ocean Shores are all within 35 min drive the choice is yours. Mynon Falls with wonderful bushwalking or the other national parks that are close by. The farm does have orchards and bee hives. Slashing and planting of vegetables will be happening soon everything is organic. If you would like to purchase some organic farm jam just let me know. A couple of horses and chickens will be coming soon too. Otherwise, there is plenty of wildlife and birds to see. If you feel like you really would like to help the environment you can even help with the regeneration or plant a tree. The stone wall entrance was constructed at the turn of last century and you feel like you have stepped back in time as you imagine those who came across the area. Lots of bushland views.

Camping near Lennox Head guide

Overview

Despite its proximity to the busy NSW North Coast hub of Byron Bay to the north, the small seaside town of Lennox Head has retained a more old-school coastal town vibe. Most surfers come for Lennox's right-hand point break, but more can be found south of the headland and along Seven Mile Beach, which stretches north of town toward Broken Head. See Lennox from above on a tandem hang glide, or take a dip in Lake Ainsworth, a huge tea-tree-stained lake at the northern end of town, where you can also camp.

Where to go

Lennox Head

Lennox Head has limited campgrounds, but options do exist with a selection of cabins and campsites (powered and unpowered) for caravans and tents, and just steps from the beach as well as Lake Ainsworth. More campsites can be found about 10 minutes’ drive south of town at Skennars Head, a good base for the three-kilometre Coastal Walk from Sharpes Beach to Pat Morton Lookout on Lennox’s headland. You can also make the 14.5-kilometre trek along the coastline from Lennox Head south to Ballina.

Byron Bay

The perennially popular surf town of Byron Bay, 20 minutes north of Lennox Head, has five holiday parks and a number of private sites among its camping options. In town, campgrounds can offer doorstep access to the Cape Byron Walking Track leading to Byron Bay’s heritage lighthouse.

Ballina

Just 10 minutes south of Lennox Head, on the northern fringe of Ballina, campers can find scenic beachfront campgrounds with spacious unpowered tent sites, hot showers, and barbecue facilities. More than half a dozen campgrounds and holiday parks also sit further south in Ballina, the closest (and among the most scenic) at Shaws Bay. Camp near the lifeguard-patrolled Shelly Beach for a day on the water.

When to go

It’s warm enough to swim year-round at Lennox Head, though you’ll want a steamer (wetsuit) for surfing during the colder months from late May through August. The town is at its busiest during the summer and Easter school holidays, so visit outside these periods for a more low-key holiday. The waters of Lake Ainsworth can sometimes be affected by blue-green algae, so be sure to check official advice before jumping in.

Know before you go

  • Several shuttle services make the 20-minute journey from Ballina Byron Gateway Airport to Lennox Head. Public buses run between Byron Bay, Lennox Head, and Ballina.
  • Lennox Head has supermarkets, cafes, several restaurants, a pub, and a surf shop on the main street, where you can rent boards.
  • Free camping is not allowed in the Ballina and Byron shires.
