Spirit of the Forest is one of the oldest properties in the area. Many years ago
it was an old dairy farm, but it has been through many transitions since then.... uniquely situated only a few kms. from the majestic "Grandis" tree it has an abundance of wildlife close by, wallabies come out to feed on the pasture
at dusk and dawn, mighty eagles soar overhead and beautiful Arabian horses run free in the paddocks.
Trevor and Maya moved here from Berry NSW 17 years ago. Trevor is an internationally acclaimed entertainer and horse whisperer and Maya is an artist, author and
lecturer. Both found the property a haven from their busy schedule of performing overseas.
A unique 70 acre Arabian horse property, surrounded by Myall Lakes National Park 4 kms from "The Grandis" the tallest tree in NSW and 10 kms from Bulahdelah Town also near to beautiful North Coast beaches.
There are many beautiful areas to choose from to camp, as well as a cabin.

We loved our stay here. Easy to find and park. Amazing views right on the lake. Great communication. The sheep and ducks came down for a visit. Great spot to have a swim and put the fishing line in. We will be back next time we drive through. Highly recommend

We had a fantastic time here! The children loved swimming in the lake, fishing and enjoying the canoe. It was so lovely and quiet and the owner was so kind showing us the animals. Thanks

We loved this camp site. The plots have been well thought out and well spaced out so it has a very relaxed feel. It's such a beautiful place - grass is really well kept (hard to believe it was end of the summer!) and you look out onto a clean edge of the national park with beautiful white gum trees. I loved camping next to the lotus pond. Trevor is a great host and enjoyed introducing us to his very well-behaved dogs ! All in all, we highly recommend this place !

What a beautiful property, quiet and peaceful. Exactly what we needed. Trevor was super accommodating and the instructions for getting there are really clear. We got to say hi to the horses and whippets and the stars at night were just incredible. Plenty of space between campers so very little noise, and being able to have a campfire was great. A short drive out to Seal Rocks, we will definitely be back!

We made a last minute booking only a few days before the Australia Day weekend and were very happy with the open camping spaces and Trevor (host) was welcoming and we enjoyed meeting all his animals and learning about his whippets. We were away from busy roads and caravan parks but only 30 minutes for Wallingat NP, Seal Rocks and Sugarloaf Lighthouse which has one of the most magical sunsets we’ve seen. This camping grounds would suit large groups of campers that enjoy a quieter (medium noise level) weekend away.

Our two nights at Trevor's were enjoyed by the whole family. A relaxed, tranquil location in the middle of the national park was met with an accommodating host who made us feel welcomed. Would highly recommend as a stop over on a long road trip or for a quick weekend away

We loved Trevor's property, it was so clean and tidy and the grounds are extremely well kept. We stayed for 2 nights to explore the Forster and Lakes areas. The stars were also amazing! Tonnes of space for the kids to run around and play. The sites are very spaced out also. Great spot.
Trevor checked in on us each day to make sure everything was going ok. We're grateful you offer your property for campers! Thank you for having us.

What a great spot to camp and relax.
Both Trevor and Maya were lovely hosts , welcomed us on their property and shared some of their life with us!
Amazing!
Thanks again for the 'special treat' on New Year's day (won't spoil the surprise), much appreciated by us with a Dutch heritage!
I recommend people to bring plenty of water, to ensure you don't run out....
