Pristine environment, immaculately maintained. Facilities including shower and port-a-loo's were spotless, and the resident cow's coming down to the creek for a drink added to the ambience of the property. Highly recommended. Thanks Nick and co.

Camping with my partner
My partner and I absolutely loved the camp site. We really liked our spot! It was perfect with the creek and the amazing trees and overall gorgeous scenery. We will definitely be back again!

A great camp site right along a quiet and peaceful creek. If you don't mind the cows coming up close for a quick hello this is a really great camp site. Having a warm shower and toilet made it even more comfortable. We will be back that's for sure.

Site 3 - Up The Creek
Off Grid, with amenities
First time hipcampers here, and we found it very easy. We stayed on site 3, had neighbours at site 2 probably 40metres away, and site 1 about 100m away, so it wasn't secluded but private enough. The creek is lovely, had a swim - saw a catfish, some crayfish and an eel. Two portaloos on site, and the most ingenious hot shower! Directions were easy to follow, purchased a load of firewood when booking which was waiting for us when we arrived and was enough to last us 2 nights ... just,. Totally enjoyable stay. If you have the choice, site 1 is definitely the optimum spot! No mobile reception

Such a lovely little gem, myself my partner and son had a great time here we were on campsite two. All campsites are on the little river that runs all the way through. There’s two rope swings, hot water and clean toilets. Perfect to hang up a hammock and relax. Campfire along the water was magical. Thankyou for having us!

Up the creek is up there as one of our favourite camp sites, so peaceful and with good facilities. Loved having lots of space for camp and a fire along with having the creek so close. We look forward to coming here again.

Perfect country camper
Wow! What a beautiful piece of heaven! Three lovely sites, level, tidy green grass, fireplaces, gentle stream tinkling by, great bush shower, and clean toilet. Loved the bovine connection, the cows are gorgeous. Will be bringing friends next time, and we will ride the NRRT to Murwillumbah and back again! It's a great trail, love the work that had gone into it. So, big thank you we lo ed it tick for "up the creek"!

Bikepacking by the creek
Great little spot - heaps of room and very private spots. Camping by the creek was so nice. We did a Bikepacking trip and to finish up here was so relaxing. Very close to store and Mooball pub. Clean toilets and having a shower was a treat Nick is a great host with great communication. Will be back

What an amazing place! My girlfriend and I went for 1 night and wish we could have stayed a week. So relaxing, peaceful, naturistic, well maintained and only a short 20 minute drive to Brunswick Heads. I have recommended this spot to all of my friends and family, and would recommend to those reading this.

We had a few nights at Up The Creek on site 1 and we could have stayed for a week. location is great, the site is really nice, spacious and private. The shower and toilet are an added bonus. the daily visits from the cows were also a lot of fun for our group. Nick himself was really accommodating and happy to share some ideas for the surrounding area on where to visit. We definitely will be back.

Beautiful camping with cows
It's a beautiful area and it has a beautiful creek running through it. It's spacious and quiet. Nick was welcoming and helpful. The shower is not the best as there is very little water. The cows were all around the camp, so there were cow's pooh everywhere which makes it a bit hard to set tents and they were also trying to eat our food. Its still good to be in contact with them as they're great animals.

Scenic and spacious
Up the creek campsite was a pleasant surprise with nice views of the valley and the creek that runs through the property. The camping spots are spread far enough for privacy which was nice, and the amenities made camping much more comfortable.

We loved staying at this camp! It’s a big space with extremely neat and maintained grass, perfect for pitching a tent. The toilet was super clean, but we especially loved the outdoor shower! We felt very looked after. We highly recommend.

This space was soooo lovely. So green and verdant and the creek was gently gurgling alongside us. The host had considerately left a pile of firewood at our campsite so we could have an evening fire. The portaloos were clean and provisioned well, and the camp shower with hot and cold water was amazing. In the morning we woke to cows meandering through the campsite. Our stay was wonderful! Would definitely recommend and stay again.
