Spirit of the Forest is one of the oldest properties in the area. Many years ago it was an old dairy farm, but it has been through many transitions since then.... uniquely situated only a few kms. from the majestic "Grandis" tree it has an abundance of wildlife close by, wallabies come out to feed on the pasture at dusk and dawn, mighty eagles soar overhead and beautiful Arabian horses run free in the paddocks. Trevor and Maya moved here from Berry NSW 17 years ago. Trevor is an internationally acclaimed entertainer and horse whisperer and Maya is an artist, author and lecturer. Both found the property a haven from their busy schedule of performing overseas. A unique 70 acre Arabian horse property, surrounded by Myall Lakes National Park 4 kms from "The Grandis" the tallest tree in NSW and 10 kms from Bulahdelah Town also near to beautiful North Coast beaches.

We loved this camp site. The plots have been well thought out and well spaced out so it has a very relaxed feel. It's such a beautiful place - grass is really well kept (hard to believe it was end of the summer!) and you look out onto a clean edge of the national park with beautiful white gum trees. I loved camping next to the lotus pond. Trevor is a great host and enjoyed introducing us to his very well-behaved dogs ! All in all, we highly recommend this place !

What a beautiful property, quiet and peaceful. Exactly what we needed. Trevor was super accommodating and the instructions for getting there are really clear. We got to say hi to the horses and whippets and the stars at night were just incredible. Plenty of space between campers so very little noise, and being able to have a campfire was great. A short drive out to Seal Rocks, we will definitely be back!

It's big and good secured place to stay. But the basic amenities are not good. It's mentioned as toilet and water available, toilets are not maintained properly, no water

We made a last minute booking only a few days before the Australia Day weekend and were very happy with the open camping spaces and Trevor (host) was welcoming and we enjoyed meeting all his animals and learning about his whippets. We were away from busy roads and caravan parks but only 30 minutes for Wallingat NP, Seal Rocks and Sugarloaf Lighthouse which has one of the most magical sunsets we’ve seen. This camping grounds would suit large groups of campers that enjoy a quieter (medium noise level) weekend away.

Our two nights at Trevor's were enjoyed by the whole family. A relaxed, tranquil location in the middle of the national park was met with an accommodating host who made us feel welcomed. Would highly recommend as a stop over on a long road trip or for a quick weekend away

A brilliant campsite! Such amazing surroundings and a great place to spend the end of the day watching the sunset. Trevor was a great host, he met us on arrival. The next morning he showed us the horses and told a few fab stories. Wed definitely head back here.

We loved Trevor's property, it was so clean and tidy and the grounds are extremely well kept. We stayed for 2 nights to explore the Forster and Lakes areas. The stars were also amazing! Tonnes of space for the kids to run around and play. The sites are very spaced out also. Great spot. Trevor checked in on us each day to make sure everything was going ok. We're grateful you offer your property for campers! Thank you for having us.

What a great spot to camp and relax. Both Trevor and Maya were lovely hosts , welcomed us on their property and shared some of their life with us! Amazing! Thanks again for the 'special treat' on New Year's day (won't spoil the surprise), much appreciated by us with a Dutch heritage! I recommend people to bring plenty of water, to ensure you don't run out....

A wonderful campsite at Trevor’s
Tent ·
Heaven in middle of National Park
We had a wonderful 1 night stay at Trevor’s. The instructions were clear, down a gravel road and we arrived at the beautiful camp ground. Trevor met us on arrival and showed us to our pitch. The place was as described, the toilets were as to be expected. There was plenty of space even in high season and we felt far away and private from other guests. Trevor kindly took the time to introduce us to his horses and lovely whippets and was a ver hospitable host and an interesting man. We enjoyed our night here very much and would stay here again, and would recommend this to anyone looking for a campground in the region!

Trevor and Maya were very welcoming. There was plenty of space on the property so we got a nice little camp spot of our own. We could see horses in there paddock. Toilets were portaloo drop/chemical toilets but they had regular upkeep and were clean.

We had a nice, relaxing stay overall, even though it wasn’t what we expected. The property is huge, with open grassy areas and options for sun or shade, but we felt a bit limited in choosing our exact campsite and were mostly pointed to certain spots (sometimes very close to other people). After having to reject a few times we found a nice spot but we could hear the highway at times. We didn’t see a lot of wildlife, just one or two kangaroos, some horses from far in the no-access zone, and the bats in the sunsets, which were actually pretty amazing to watch. The portaloos were clean and well looked after (but, in our opinion, not better than a well maintained national park drop toilet), but they’re all in the sun in one spot near the container, so it was a long walk for us. Also, bring your own water, there’s very little available on site despite what’s advertised, and we were told we (4 people) could get about 20L for our three night stay if really needed. We ended up refilling in the nearest town which is about 15 minutes away. On the plus side, we loved being able to collect firewood from the forest and enjoy a campfire, and the location is great for exploring Myall Lakes National Park. In the end, we still enjoyed our stay and had a good time but if you don't have pets, we would recommend trying any of the multiple camping options that the Myall Lakes National Park has to offer.
