Weekend Trip to Mt Barney Lodge Eco Retreat

My partner and I absolutely loved camping at Mt Barney Eco Park, and in particular, our spot at Volcano View. This site was away from all the other campers, which allowed our group to feel secluded - something we were hoping for! The addition of the small undercover area and camp tables was awesome, and we were able to have many awesome fires in the huge fire pit. The amenities were a walkable distance away, and also very clean and maintained. Hot water was a huge bonus! Potable water from the tap at the site was also extremely helpful. 10/10

Weekend Trip to The Haven

Situated by a creek amongst tropical rainforest trees , this place is a great place for spring, summer and autumn 🍂 a little too shaded by the trees in the winter along the creek but there are other areas higher up. Clean compost loo and unique outdoor hot water shower 😍 Grant is a fabulous, accommodating and friendly host 😄 close proximity to Mullum and all it has to offer was great 😊

Weekend Trip to The Haven

We stayed at Grant’s property for one night last weekend. We were at the River Flats and had the place to ourselves. Our dog loved it! Even though the property is conveniently close to both Mullumbimby and Federal, it felt like we were far away from the outside world! The campsite was nice and flat and private with its own fire pit. Grant was really helpful and very prompt with communication. We would definitely go back!

Weekend Trip to Eastgrove, Running Creek

Beautiful and quiet. An easy drive from suburbia. The sites are well maintained, all with excellent views. The owners are lovely. Thankyou for letting us enjoy your piece of paradise.

Weekend Trip to Oxley View

Oxley View is the perfect week-end escape for your average HipCamer. An open well kept paddock with large sites, suitable for campers or trailer camping. Firepits are supplied and a real bonus was the immaculately kept portaloos. Chris is a good bloke who takes pride in his farm life. So we will be back.

Weekend Trip to Oxley View

Very peaceful spot with plenty of space. Chris is a very friendly host.

Weekend Trip to Eastgrove, Running Creek

Great secluded site. Felt private and out of the way. Excellent views of the mountains. Will for sure be back.

1 night at Oxley View

Place was beautiful! The portaloos were kept immaculately clean. The host met us there after dark and was so helpful when booking. We only spent one night when passing through on the way to Fraser Island but could quite easily spend a few nights there. Would highly recommend!

1 night at Oxley View

Absolutely loved this HipCamp. Chris was amazing and met us after dark. Toilets were immaculately clean and the stars in the sky of a night were something to see! Was just an overnighter for a large group on our way through but will definitely be back to spend a few nights there. 10/10

3 nights at Oxley View

We had a great stay despite some pretty poor weather conditions! The grounds held up impressively well - no flooding or excessive mud pits, which made a big difference. Communication from the hosts was excellent; they greeted us on arrival and checked in to update with weather alerts and local tips on how the roads hold up during heavy rainfall. Campsites are nicely spaced out, so even with other campers around, it still felt private and peaceful. Big shout-out for the super clean portaloos too - definitely appreciated in the rain. Would absolutely come back in better weather, but honestly, it was a great experience either way!

3 nights at Oxley View

Oxley View is a lovely spot for a relaxing weekend away. We had a fair bit of rain which made things a bit muddy but what can you do. Chris is a great host and was very welcoming. Portaloos are kept very clean. Great spot!

Weekend Trip to Oxley View

Chris' communication is excellent. We didn't get to stay this time but are appreciative of the host's consideration letting us know early that conditions were not great for camping when we wanted to go so we can reschedule to another time!

3 nights at Oxley View

Amazing host, very understanding. Great communication.

2 nights at Oxley View

Great campsite just unfortunate it rained us out with the weather.

3 nights at The Haven

Very peaceful and private with a great hot shower! The campsite is close to the town of Mullumbimby and only 20 min from Bryon so a great base to explore. Grant was so accomodating and even offered extra services to help us enjoy our stay. Good for all weather as you can park on the cobblestones if raining.
