The Climb Is Worth It – Incredible
We had a fantastic weekend staying at the Lookout campsite and would happily recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful bush getaway in the Northern Rivers.
The hosts make it clear that a 4WD is required to access the Lookout site—and they aren’t kidding! It’s definitely manageable, but good clearance is important, particularly if, like us, you’re towing a camper up to the top. That said, the drive up is absolutely worth it.
The campsite sits right on the ridgeline with beautiful views out to the west. It’s wonderfully peaceful and quiet, with plenty of space to settle in and simply enjoy the surroundings. There’s a fire pit provided, and the hosts also organised firewood for us, which made sitting around the fire in the evening even better.
I had the pleasure of meeting Kane, the owner, who is a genuinely lovely guy. Communication with the hosts from start to finish was first class—friendly, helpful and easy.
The location is another big plus. We spent part of the weekend riding the Northern Rivers Rail Trail, and the property is only around 15 minutes from Lismore, making it a great base for exploring Lismore, Casino and the surrounding Northern Rivers area.
If you’re looking for somewhere that feels properly secluded while still being close to everything the region has to offer, the Lookout is a great choice.
Beautiful views, peace and quiet, great hosts and a cracking campsite. We’ll definitely be back.
