Welcome to the wild wild west, nestled into the Byron Hinterland near Whian Whian. Our property stretches across 10 acres. Here you will find beauty of rainforest, strength of bamboo, life of orchard, feel alive walking or riding the mountain bike trails, feel the power of the open fire, find serenity and connection to heart space. Pitch your tipi, tent or swag under the rainforest canopy, or on the grass close to stone fire ring, with complete privacy. We have 10 acres consisting of beautiful rainforest and an orchard. There's access to walking tracks and mountain bike tracks with technical log and rock sections, so if you're a mountain bike enthusiast definitely bring your bike! While you're here check out the waterfalls just 2 kms down the hill, and the Big Scrub loop walking track nearby offers the chance to experience some of the most magnificent subtropical rainforest in NSW. It's part of Nightcap National Park and is popular with birdwatchers. It features crystal clear creeks, lush vegetation and enormous fig trees.​ Enjoy the tranquillity of this treasured land. Relax around the campfire in the evenings as you gaze at the stars above. We welcome self-contained campers who bring their own camping toilet/shower and drinking water. You must have your own amenities. The property is 2WD accessible in good weather as it's very steep and it's a short walk to the campsite area to set up your tent. Well behaved pets are welcome to camp with you.Pitch your tipi, tent or swag under the rainforest canopy, or on the grass close to stone fire ring, with complete privacy.

We return from 6 nights away in Bundjalung land, Whian Whian...a gem of the Byron Hinterland. Over dinner on our 2nd night Grace commented on how it felt just like home...after so many camping trips the kids really do appreciate that home isn't a place, it's a feeling when we're all together doing what we love, with who we love. As our 12th trip away for 2023, it served a perfect transition from one year of adventures into the next. Real, raw, exciting, muddy, unpredictable. It wasn't all joy (storms, times of unrelenting rain), but it was an absolute grand finale. Steve was a excellent host very accommodating and just a real down to earth guy. Will definitely love to come back. I especially liked the rare bioluminescent fungi we spotted in the middle of camp. The atmosphere there is awe inspiring.

Our favourite yet!
Amazing!!! Every time we pick a site they just keep getting better. This one really knocked our socks off. It was serene, VERY private, and so much space to explore. Beautiful ground cover of violets everywhere and plenty of wood for the fire. We 100% will be back sooner rather than later. Also Steve was a huge vibe! Seemed like a very fun and friendly host. He guided us down to the camp site and then left us to enjoy.

Such a peaceful location. Waking only to the sounds of birds was heavenly. A great single campsite location. Also being able to just walk out the property and along a quiet country road through picturesque bush and farmland was a bonus. Lovely host big recommend for this one.

We have stayed several times at Fireside 1. It is a beautiful and serene place to camp. The host (Steve) is lovely and we will definitely return in the future.

Great campsite, very nice location and beautiful property. The generous addition of being allowed to walk through the rainforest-esqe section and pick up fallen branches for firewood added to the experience. There is a steep hill to get to the campsite which I wasn't game to take our hire van down though.
