39km from Southport · 1 site · Tent, RV
Nestled on 2 acres by the Albert river, protected and hidden away is this small but private gem. The camp area is only one site so its complete privacy for you and whoever you decide to bring along. Flowing Albert river with rapids, swimming holes and plenty of fishing spots. Australian bass and cod in the warmer months.
Plenty of flat grassed area and shade, perfect for families or groups with 5-6 caravans and some tents at any one time. No power or toilets/shower available so need to be self sufficient. Fire pit and wood available if needed. small golf chipping area for the kids. the driveway is a little steep heading into this site so an offroad van would be more suited.

We are only 15 mins from Mount Warning and 30 mins from Byron Bay. There are plenty of National Parks, bushwalks, cycling paths, near by fishing spots and historical places to visit. The fantastic Northern Rivers Rail Trail is just across the road. We are located near the quaint village of Stokers Siding. Enjoy 13 acres of picturesque countryside with running creeks, lush green paddocks and a fruit orchid.
We have very friendly alpacas who love selfies, and Scottish babydoll lambs who love meeting people.
Set up your campervan or park your caravan on the edge of the flowing creek shaded with lush foliage overhanging from the trees. We only offer two sites for your peace and privacy.
There is access to a portaloo. You need to be a self-contained camper with your own shower, and drinking water. Please respect the environment and take everything with you when you leave. Please note this is just a farm portaloo not a glamping bathroom. Please make sure you clean it on departure.

This was the perfect camping spot for us. Totally private at the top of the hill, but close enough for us to walk to Cabarita shops and hotel, Woollies and bars, plus the Beach. Perfect spot!
So peaceful and quiet, especially as we were the only ones on the site.
Great ocean breezes amongst the trees.
Picnic table, chairs, swing and level pad for our caravan was great.
Plenty of bushwalking tracks too.
Will definitely be back!

Secluded bush camp but so close to the beach. The Bowls Club is even closer 😉.
Abundant Birdlife including Spangled Drongos, Forest Kingfishers and Little Wattle birds. There is road noise during the day, as it's on the hill, but quiet overnight traffic-wise. Campfire pit provided with bench seating but not used this time due to nice temperature. Picnic table and swing are great creature comforts.

Beautiful location that was easy to find and the facilities were amazing. We had a powered site for a caravan and it had everything easily accessible. We brought dogs and tucked ourselves in a corner and had just an amazing time. Value for money and the view is to die for. Will definitely be back. Thank you for a great stay.

We had an amazing stay! The place was spotless, very well maintained, and the hosts were incredibly accommodating. We stayed with 4 adults, one baby, and our dog, and everything was perfect for our group.
We absolutely loved the views and the overall vibe such a special place to relax and enjoy nature. Due to the hot weather, we asked to change from the mountain spot to the river, and they were more than happy to help and make it happen, which we really appreciated.
We truly had the time of our lives and will definitely be coming back many more times. Highly recommend!

Massive campsites, so you're not on top of one another, yes they are pricey and not for everyone, but worth it if you want the space, peace and quiet, the ground's are immaculate, and what's not to love camping beside a creek.

We had an amazing stay at Cabarita Beach Station! The site was beautifully maintained, quiet, and perfectly secluded. The fire pit was a highlight. The bush swing was a bonus, and the kids loved it. The location is unbeatable - a short walk to the beach and shops, but still feels remote and peaceful. Scott, the host, was super responsive and made our stay even better. We'll definitely be back!

A great little campground near the creek. I felt a little disoriented by the signage as there didn’t seem to be any signs saying “Tyalgum Showgrounds” but I trusted google and I arrived safely and at the time I expected. The office staffer was super friendly despite being pulled pillar to post. Check-in was simple since I paid via Hipcamp. Bathrooms were clean and showers were hot! The dump point saved me some extra kms on the way home, too! The grassy camp site was perfect for having my doggos with me (extra glad the mowing was done a week prior so most of the cuttings had blown away).

This Property was one of the most pristine and well looked after properties! It definitely felt like a high end camping experience. We had the most relaxing weekend and the hosts were so great with help and communication.
Loved that we could buy eggs straight from the chickens 🙌🏼
We couldn’t recommend this stay enough

The Tyalgum Camp Grounds is lovely.
Beautiful grassed areas and lovely clean amenities. Easy access to Tyalgum Village and pub is a plus.
A close by fruit bat colony is fascinating. However, the noise and aroma might be of putting for some.
I suggest camper check for bat droppings on vehicles each morning as the acidity of the droppings can damage duck.

Great location near everything in Tyalgum. The camp grounds and amenities are well looked after. Showers and toilets very clean! Looks like they’ve recently played some trees to help add some much needed shade around the sites which will definitely improve things in the hotter months once they grow. Overall great spot for our little weekend away before school goes back
