This beautiful property has been nurtured by my parents since 1983. As a boy I helped my parents remove large amounts of lantana weeds by hand. Other invasive weeds have been controlled, allowing the native species time and space to regenerate themselves into the perfect example of native Australian sclerophyll forest that you see today. My parents have since retired and I'm now honored to have the opportunity to share this remarkable environment with you.This campsite is an elevated & level camp, overlooking the beautiful Australian bush. Positioned on a sandstone ridge, facing north east, you'll feel at peace among well established eucalyptus & sclerophyll forest. The camp site is about 10 meters-square. It's privately secluded from the main public road, but close enough to hear the occasional vehicle. The sandy soils here challenge the under story with low fertility and often dry conditions. Common wildlife include echidna, goanna, wallabies, various insects, and a wide variety of bird-life. You'll need to be self-contained with your own camping toilet/shower and water. Please only use the designated stone fire-pit. Dogs on leashes & horses are welcome. There is ample opportunity here for self-guided bush walking & exploring the amazing natural environment. However, as a warming, if weather conditions are hot, the camp can feel uncomfortably hot - especially in the middle of the day during summer - being a relatively exposed north-east facing slope. Be aware, due to the sloping land & dense trees, trailers cannot be turned around once inside the property. Please un/load trailers outside, opposite the driveway entrance, on the side of the main public Dyraaba Road. The property is 50 hectares fenced on all sides & you are free to roam on foot or horseback throughout. Unfortunately motorized vehicles including motorcycles, are not permitted to drive on this property. Be careful of Bull-ants protecting their nest, near the main camp. Also please refrain from feeding native animals (such as nocturnal possums). Along with many other natural hazards these type of risks are present in this beautiful natural bush setting. On a clear day, in the distant horizon you can spot Wollumbin Mountain (AKA 'Mount Warning') which is also the most prominent mountain visible from Byron Bay, & throughout Bundjalung country. Dyraaba is part of the traditional lands of the GULI-BUL tribal area, within the greater Bundjalung Nation. This HipCamp site is about 100km or 1.5hr drive inland from Byron Bay, NSW.

We recently stayed at Dyraaba Dreaming, at the “Gone Bush” campsite, and it was exactly what we needed. Total peace and quiet, surrounded by stunning Australian bush and wildlife. I couldn’t believe how inexpensive it was to stay here. Don’t let the low price fool you , this place is a little gem. It feels remote and relaxing, yet it’s not far from Kyogle, Casino, and Nimbin if you want to head out for a look around. Perfect spot to unwind and recharge. Definitely recommend.

Kids and I enjoyed our stay, even with a road nearby it felt private and secluded. Smaller site was perfect size for our family tent and gazebo. Site is surrounded by bush and close to site clearing which added to the feeling of seclusion. Close to both Kyogle and Casino

I really liked Gone Bush at Dyraaba. It is a great place to set up for a few days and enjoy the solitude. The camp site is small and there are no obvious animal tracks to follow but I did not go venture out on this occasion. The mobile internet is very good for the location. So I was able to catch up on some remote office work while enjoying the nature around me.

Gone Bush was a beautiful, private and peaceful campsite. Absolutely amazing value for price at the site. Whilst we were there we saw 2x wild sugar gliders, lizards, heard dingoes close by, and had the clearest view of the night sky. I 100% recommend this site to campers who want a private and self sufficient experience.

Absolutely loved our stay! The campsite was peaceful and completely private. Woke up to the sound of kookaburras in the morning and even spotted a couple of wallabies nearby. Such a beautiful and relaxing spot. Would definitely come back!

Daniels little slice of bush camping space was awesome. From the time of booking, to the communication and camping it was flawless. Absolutely loved staying here over the Australia day long weekend. Daniel was very prompt with his replies and communication was clear and precise. Very easy to find with the gps navigating. Felt like you were alone in the bush, then you'd hear the odd car go past, but we were very secluded and loved that. Take mozzie repellent as being in nature you can imagine the amount of mozzies, spiders etc. that you'd come across. We were a little on edge with the bush and bracken around (this we knew to expect beforehand, being a conservation area) and the potential of seeing snakes etc and having our little dog with us, but we kept him on a short reign at all times and kept him safe. No snakes were sighted, thankfully. It was a nice relief knowing we had phone service incase of an accident. Would definately go back here again for a few days piece and quiet

Beautiful, quiet spot all to yourself. Highly recommend. Daniel has made this a great haven to get away from a busy life, and be emerged in nature. Site is fairly easy to find, although I did drive past it the first time. There is a quiet unsealed road near by, but is very quiet and will hardly notice the noice once you tune in the nature around you.

Daniel was very easy to communicate with and the directions provided are accurate. The space provided was flat and clear, with a well placed fire pit. With surrounding trees there was plenty of shade throughout the day, which was nice. Overall, it was pretty quiet apart from some passing traffic noise occasionally, but the birds singing cancelled that out mostly 🙂 We would happily go back and stay again.

Daniel's land was very peaceful. Easy to access, cosy little flat area - only big enough for 2 cars tops (we only had 1), but this is a spot you come to be quiet, not with a crowd. Great communication from Daniel. It felt very private (although there was the odd car along the road). Plenty of spots to buy firewood on the way out there (lovely drive from Lismore). Will be back fsure - this is my kind of hipcamp.

The photos really don't do it justice! My partner, my dog and I loved every second of our stay here, using it as a base from which to enjoy some time in Kyogle and Casino (the property is equidistant from both). The roads to the property are a little potholed, so drive carefully - hopefully the council will attend to those soon. Although locating the entry to the Hipcamp was a little tricky in the dark, the Host's directions were bang on and we enjoyed trying to spy the semi-hidden entrance! The site itself is a lush, tidily-kept private spot nestled on the edge of a gully and there is no shortage of wildlife to enjoy (we spotted 2 echidnas!). We would have enjoyed exploring the bush on foot if only we had more time! We will absolutely be back here next time we're in the area.
