Gob-smacking views of Nimbin Rocks. Photos can't convey the mystical presence you get in real life - it's like camping inside a poem. Horse-shoe bordered by 2km of Goolmangar Creek - known platypus habitat. Secluded - but only 5-min drive to Nimbin village, the alternative capital (pop 1,600) of Australia. Sites are out of eye-shot from 'the others'. Limit of five dispersed sites across 30 acres. You'll need to Arrive Before Dark to be directed. Really, you do. Creek-sites suit experienced, self-contained campers (with 4wd) that like a bit of space. & know how to deal with their own shit. Literally. (Update: we're now in a dry spell meaning all sites are currently accessible with 2wd.) Cons: MUST check-in before dark. Camping (especially creek sites) is weather-dependent - not accessible in extended periods of rain (by 4wd, or otherwise) - but who wants to camp in the rain anyway? In 'dry-windows' (which we have now!) , even 2wd is fine, but do check the forecast/correspond with me before booking. If it's looking grim, it's cool to cancel with 24-hrs notice. It's a farm. Not a centralized campground offering full-amenities or caravan access. As free-range campers 'on-that-farm, there are some free-range cows' (& chooks) . So you'll need to partially share the land with them. They're somewhat curious, but not aggressive.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 2 · Vehicles under 11 m
Drive in site. Must check-in before dark. Pros: Creek view Secluded - lots of space - no other campers within eye-shot Shady spot to pitch the tent/set up your table. Relatively close to compost toilet (300m walk) Great aspect view of two of the Nimbin Rocks "thunder eggs" that rose like molten toffey out of the crust 20-40 million years ago ... in the eruption of Mt Warning. You should be safe now though Minimalist campfires currently allowed. No bonfires at any time! Cons: Must check-in before dark. Doesn't have a view of main rock (though you can see all three if you take a short walk) Very weather-dependent - not accessible in rainy periods

The place was beautiful, everything was nice and green. The campsite was right next to the creek and very peaceful, we even had an echidna walk right up to us! Michael was a great host. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely loved it! Can't thank Michael enough for the pleasure of giving us a tour around his beautiful property and giving us a beautiful secluded spot to spend the night. The views were fantastic just from our tent and we were able to see some of the wallabies hanging around in the early morning. Will definitely be coming back to stay at this little piece of paradise

Micheal was a very kind and welcoming host and he has a lovely property just 5 mins drive from the coolest little town of Nimbin! As a solo female camper, I felt safe and comfortable. The site was so peaceful and immaculately clean. I camped up for the night next to the peaceful sound of the running steam and slept like a baby! The spot was easily accessed - even on my cruiser motorcycle, and the property was very well maintained. Highly recommend!

I'm glad I found this campsite! It was perfect, even on a rainy weekend, with views of the creek and the Nimbin rocks; the site feels secluded and private. Michael was accommodating and showed us around the rest of the property. Would love to come back.

Michael was a great host and has a lovely property with clean sites right next to a beautiful creek. The views are stunning and it was very quiet. If you're lucky you might even see a platypus too. 4wd access is recommended.

Beautiful views and beautiful camp sites, this was one to remember. With Michael out doing himself as a host providing fire wood, table and a gazebo, making us feel right at home. One we’d recommend to anyone. Cheers. Sav and Andy. https://www.instagram.com/rookie.adventurers?igsh=OHpkamR4c25zbnNt&utm_source=qr

Michael was a great and friendly host, very accommodating and communicative leading up to our stay keeping tabs on the weather and offering a different site as an option. The site is stunning and very private, which we would love to return to. Michael had spare kindling for our campfire, there was a picnic table and a short walk down to the creek. Major bonus is that even with the egg shortage, Michael has free range hens (half dozen eggs for $4!)

We had the most wonderful stay at this Hipcamp site! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the host Michael, who was so friendly and eager to make our stay comfortable. The site was exactly as described—beautiful, peaceful, and tucked away in nature. We had plenty of space to park our van, and the views of the creek and Nimbin rocks were absolutely breathtaking, so many different birds and wildlife around too. Michael provided all the little touches that made a big difference: a fire pit, clean facilities,We enjoyed a wine by the creek, we also enjoyed the chance to sit around the campfire at night and stargaze. What really stood out was how well-maintained the space was—everything felt fresh, organized, and thoughtfully designed. I highly recommend this place if you're looking to disconnect and enjoy the best of the outdoors. Will definitely be back!

Lovely guy, lovely property with a beautiful view. Would recommend self contained only as the toilet was a dunny connected to his house with about a third of a door like a stable. I don't mind a dunny, but personally I need a full door. On the bright side, beautiful view while on the toilet too.

We had a beautiful secluded spot down close to the creek. Perfect little overnight night getaway with wonderful views of the Nimbin Rocks. Fell asleep and woke to the sounds of the running creek and bird life. Weather was glorious and it was great to cool off with a swim in the creek and kick back beside the camp fire. Thanks Michael for sharing your property and I look forward to cooking up a storm with your free range eggs. 😀
