Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Private sites
100% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.
Natural Camphor Rain Forest with running creeks, lots of trees & private space. Camping areas more than 400m from the main house Currently we welcome you to book & set up camp if you are prepared for bush camping with no amenities, we are around to welcome you and help you find nice private spot away from the main house We really do have a wild paradise a genuine rainforest escape, acres & acres of beautiful bush to enjoy. 15 minutes to the beautiful Byron Bay beaches & just 5 minutes to Bangalow. Please note when coming in from Friday Hut Rd, the first dirt road before passing our gate and entering our property is a shared road with our neighbours. Our gate is all the way at the end DO NOT VEER LEFT, left takes you to the neighbours. Our number is on the post that hold up the gate. Once you are in the driveway leads around to the right and the camping area is first road to the left.

Awesome spot off the beaten track, with gorgeous trees and plenty of space. Real rustic style camping and so close to Byron Bay. We loved this on our route up the East Coast.

The site was incredible and felt super secluded while still being close to the beach. Mary was great and even brought us fresh eggs on our first morning.

What a stunning property. Although it was raining we loved sitting in the middle of the forest next to a creek, with enough firewood supplied by Mary to keep the fire burning. The hosts were super friendly and accommodating. They informed us of local markets and even brought us a takeaway from one of their catering jobs. We thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and will definitely be back. The property is so central to lovely towns in the area.

Great for tents and small cars.

Great spot for tents and small vehicles. Very picturesque hilly forest. Not really suitable for vans/caravans or heavy 4wds. Especially if there’s any moisture in the weather (lots of sticky red mud). And not fun if you are trying to navigate the tight trails in a van or large vehicle. Great if you have a tent in your car, and want to experience the Forest with zero facilities. Amazing rainforest retreat. Host were very friendly. And close to Bangalow township. We had to leave a night early due to the risk of being bogged with the ground becoming too wet to drive on as we were in a lwb van. Found pricing was a bit on high side for a camp with no facilities.

Beautiful camping site amongst the trees and nature. We were greeted with fresh eggs and firewood on arrival. Would highly recommend.

Sleeping in our van nestled in a beautiful rainforest was our experience at Mary and Petros’s place. Serene. Such lovely hosts who couldn’t do enough for us ❤️🙌
