Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Tucked deep in the Byron hinterland in Upper Coopers Creek, this private camping retreat offers an immersive escape into one of Northern NSW’s most beautiful valleys. Guests enjoy private access to Coopers Creek, with gentle mini rapids, and shaded swimming holes perfect for freshwater dips all year round. The campsite sits on a grassy clearing next to our shed with sweeping valley views. Mornings often arrive wrapped in mist, while evenings bring golden light rolling across the hills. Wallabies graze at dusk, and if you’re lucky, you may spot a platypus gliding quietly through the water at sunset. Up the slope from the campsite you can wander through the old macadamia orchard and explore pockets of endangered subtropical rainforest. Despite its peaceful seclusion, you’re just 10 minutes from Federal, 30 minutes from Mullumbimby, and a scenic 50-minute drive from Byron Bay—making it the perfect base to explore the region before retreating back to your own private slice of rainforest. Perfect for nature lovers, swimmers, families, and couples seeking a quiet hinterland.Coopers Creek Valley Campsite is a private grassy clearing nestled on a hill, offering sweeping valley views across to Nightcap National Park. Guests enjoy four acres entirely to themselves, creating a true sense of space and seclusion. Just a short five-minute walk down the hill, a stunning rainforest creek awaits - with deep, clear swimming holes and gentle flowing sections perfect for cooling off year-round. Surrounded by lush subtropical rainforest, it’s an idyllic spot for long summer swims or quiet winter mornings by the water. The campsite itself is level and grassy, ideal for tents, caravans or RVs. Access is easy via a locked gate and short private driveway, ensuring both convenience and privacy during your stay. Next to the campsite is a shed with a verandah that can offer shelter if needed, but the interior will be locked. Wallabies often graze nearby, birdlife is abundant, and the peaceful rhythm of the valley makes it easy to slow down and settle in. Please note: this is an off-grid, self-contained campsite. There is currently no electricity, water, or amenities on site. Guests will need to bring everything required for their stay, take all waste with them, and leave no trace so this special environment remains pristine for future visitors.

Coopers Creek Valley Campsite
We really enjoyed our time at Hideaway creek. Firstly, the camping area next to the shed was large enough for us to completely turn our caravan around which made coming and going incredibly convenient. The it was very peaceful and there were great views the down the valley and across the mountains. The walk down to the creek was a little steep but my 7 year old daughter and 71 year old mother both managed it so it’s not too bad. The kids loved playing in the creek, making rock dams etc. Having use of the under cover area in front of the shed was super handy as it was a bit rainy during our stay and it offed a large dry area for the kids to play. The site is only a 10 minute drive to Minyon Falls and 17 minutes to a wonderful cafe in Federal. The hosts were very responsive to any enquiries we had. It’s a great base to explore the Northern Rivers area.

Situated in a lush peaceful valley There is plenty of level ground next to their shed for set ups. So nice to have the campsite to ourselves and that it was dog friendly. Lovely afternoon sun and dreamy Creek to swim in. Trek to the creek is a little steep but doable just take it slow definitely worth going for a dip. I’ve never seen so many flocks of birds in my life was truely so nice to be up there.
