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. Season Update: We're now in 4wd-only season. If you have 2wd, it may be possible, but have to check with me first. 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' , 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 curious, but not aggressive.

4wd only Feb-Aug. 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

    Had a wonderful couple of days at this remote and peaceful campsite. Base camp by the creek over looking the rocks is the most beautiful spot I’ve ever camped. Although we didn’t see any platypus the creek was very lively with fish and hungry birds! The site is very well Maintained and we enjoyed cooling off in the water hole slightly further down the creek. We had the luxury of exploring the land and were not disappointed at all. 10/10 would 100% recommend! Thanks Micheal
