A quiet, small rest stop near Nimbin, with a semi social feel. Shuttlebus available to our wonderful hippy village. There are curiosity shops with very different stuff, and a smoking culture. There is nowhere else anything like it. You can do Nimbin in a day. If you have time to relax and unwind, you can do it over two days, and enjoy the restaurants and cafes. I have local knowledge. There are lookouts with spectacular views. Here there's unusual fruit trees, a trampoline, and a basketball court if you want to shoot a few hoops, weights equipment, and a martial arts dojo if you are curious about learning some self defence. There's a flat parking area for RV's and tents. It's a relatively small space - not an acre of grass. So it's a semi social area, and it's possible to interact and relax in the undercover area. There's a fire place at night, and a Babakiuaera where you can get Wifi and play cards. I'm a qualified driving instructor, so i know about vehicles and safe driving practices. some folks love it here and come back. It's a relatively small space, not suitable for everyone.

Nimbin is a wonderful rainbow village in a hippy area. There is nowhere in the world quite like it.  I offer a shuttlebus ( see photo ) * to town and back, to ensure security on your vehicle. * this may not be me in the photo. There are cafes and clubs, and emporium curiosity shops.  Smoking shops and culture, as you know.  A free public swimming pool. You can do it in one day. If you have time to relax and unwind, 2 days is the go.  A spectacular mountain lookout if you know where to go. We are 2.5 k's from town.  There's flat land for your camper,  an undercover tent space with mountain scenery, and a communal kitchen if you need one. The Babakiuera has Wifi, phone recharge,  240 volt power and a night light. There is easy access to a flush toilet, hot shower, and microwave. A campfire is set up.  We have an orchard of unusual fruit. There's a trampoline, a basketball court, a martial arts dojo if you're curious about self defence. I'm a qualified driving instructor so I know about vehicles and safe operation.

Nimbin is a wonderful rainbow village in a hippy area. There is nowhere in the world quite like it. I offer a shuttlebus to town and back, to ensure security on your vehicle. Check out the shuttlebus in the photos. ( n.b. this may not be me in the photo. ) This a relatively small space with good facilities, undercover spot for a tent. In winter we have a fire going. We tell stories and have fun. I have local knowledge. There are cafes and clubs, and emporium curiosity shops. Smoking shops and culture, as you know. A free public swimming pool.

Stayed in Nimbin for the first time! Dick had lots of local knowledge- I ended up spending a whole day wandering around the area. Some great stories and lots of laughter. Thanks for having me :) Really good communication and clear instructions (I was arriving at night).

Lovely place, super chill, great experience, delicious oranges, Dick is such a good person and told us about Nimbin history. I recommend it to all those who appreciate seeing simplicity in life and want to disconnect from the rhythm of the big city.

Had a lovely time camping on Dick’s property. It was great for me, camping alone. I think for a bigger group you should make sure to contact him first to determine whether it’s the right place for you. Nice facilities, and a very friendly host.

The host was lovely, very accommodating. However we were slightly disappointed in our camp ground, we were basically in their front lawn, no privacy, it wasn’t quiet and tranquil like the add said. Also the facilities were dirty with a lot of spiders.

Highly recommend staying at Dicks if you are heading to Nimbin. Dick is friendly and attentive. He offers a ride into town if needed and is great to chat to. We had a great nights sleep here and enjoyed chatting to Dick about the nature and the wildlife. Thanks again Dick! :)

Had a great weekend at Dicks. He was extremely helpful, and running us into town and back, was a godsend on MardiGrass weekend. We were expecting a usable bbq, so we didn’t take any of our cooking gear. So was a little disappointed by that, but for the price, it was a great stay.
