This unique abode, has a relaxed feel on a 5 acre property, close to the Byron town (only 13kms) but far enough away to enjoy the solitude the hinterlands offers with access to wide open fresh air.
It consists of a 1964 original vintage caravan, with an open-plan living/dining area, a gorgeous industrial-style bathroom, with a glass ceiling for star gazing & an outdoor fire-pit.
The open air living allows guests to feel 100% connected to the natural environment, while at the same time having access to reliable, fast internet along with the comforts of a hot shower, flush loo etc. It is an ideal way to capture the restored feeling from remote camping, without the hassle of taking all your camping gear.
Sleeping arrangements: We have a custom-made inner spring mattress that is an unusual size due to the vintage age of the vintage caravan & therefore the size, is in between a King-single & double size width & a queen-size length (which may or may not be big enough for 2 people depending on your sleeping expectations). The actual measurements are: 1.13M wide & 2M long. There is also a separate king single-size bed, on the other side of the caravan, suitable for another adult, a child or two small children.
All linen and bath towels etc are provided. The caravan is cosy, with a TV, stereo, fridge, sink, wardrobe & storage space.
The property is not far from the beautiful bathhouses of Mullumbimby too ie Kiva Spa & Banya bathhouse
We are a pet-friendly property. If you wish to bring your friendly pet, they are welcome, but we charge a fee of $25 . Please select that you have a pet when making your booking. We also request that you kindly ensure that your pet does not go inside the caravan or on any of the furniture including the bed, lounge etc. If there is dog hair in the van or on the couch we may need to charge an extra cleaning fee.

Hi, an update: please note that due to roadworks in Mullumbimby, the Council is diverting southbound traffic out of that town along Myocum Rd, thus there will be increased traffic at commute times. Your campsite is on a grassy knoll of Myocum Farm with sweeping views of farmland and the Byron lighthouse in the distance. You will be the sole visitors and thus have all the space and amenities to yourself. Your onsite amenities include: a firepit with benches and table, bbq plates, free kindling, firewood available to buy, a hot private outdoor shower, your own flushing toilet, a tap and handsoap, a bucket and hose, bins for recycling and rubbish, a swing, and a small cubbyhut with board games and a bocce and cricket set. Please note our rates are very competitive and cover 3 visitors in our base rate. During your stay you can just kick back and relax overlooking the farm which produces beef cattle and fingerlimes, but with the convenient distance to towns and beaches, you can also use it as a base to very easily explore all the region has to offer: Byron Bay and Bangalow (15 mins), Brunswick Heads (10 mins), and Mullumbimby (6 mins), all offering great dining, local market, and retail experiences. the area has a plethora of activities to pursue: swimming, walking, fishing, great surfing, sea kayaking, ballooning, skydiving, horseriding, golf (eg renowned Ocean Shores golf club is 20 minutes away), and the wonderful rail trail for bikers or walkers can be accessed at Mooball, a picturesque 20 min drive away or try out the new mountain bike trail at the vey pretty township of Uki in the hinterland. Beautiful waterfalls are less than a half hour drive away. There are local businesses who can help you pursue these kinds of activities if you don't bring your own equipment.

Lance & Ina's campsite was a breath of fresh air and they go put of their way to ensure you have everything you need. Such a wonderfully set up campsite, one of the best we have been to.

They have even installrd filtered water which was amazing. We had a wonderful time and will be back. Thanks for having us.

We had such a lovely stay at Ina and Lance’s site. The macadamia farm/forested fairy glen is beautiful. It's lush, quiet, private and incredibly peaceful. It’s the kind of place where you immediately slow down and relax to the sounds of nature.
Ina and her family are genuinely warm and welcoming hosts, and you can really see how much care they’ve put into the property. The old silos they’ve converted are a great touch - the BBQ/recreation area is both practical and charming, and a really nice spot to spend the evening.
The bathroom silo was spotless and well set up, with good lighting and a proper hot shower, which was much appreciated.
Everything felt clean, thoughtful, and well looked after.
Overall, it’s a special place that feels personal and well cared for. We’d happily stay again and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature.

With pets
We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay. The camp-site and amenities are well maintained. The river (currently low) and kayaks (additional hire) we are huge hit with our family. We have our own inflatable kyak and row boat but loved hiring the ones available to have our own.
Our first trip not bringing ANY firewood but there was plenty available to purchase.
Host is very friendly and approachable when needed but also respects your space. A++ Host.
Lismore(local town and shops) is a short drive away. Small city with most things you need if forgotten or if issues arise.
We plan to return!

The farm was absolutely stunning! Lance and Ina were wonderful hosts. Very welcoming. We bought some macadamia nuts from them which I cannot wait to try!
The camp site itself was also gorgeous. Completely secluded with a self built little hut and toilet/shower hut. Amenities were super clean and well kept. Would definitely want to visit again!! Thanks a lot :)

We had our first girls-only, off-grid camping experience in our new caravan at Eltham Station, and it was absolutely perfect. The property is beautifully maintained, peaceful, and truly feels like an escape. Campsites are well spaced, so you never feel crowded.
We loved being able to bring our pup and enjoy a campfire under the stars. The girls had the best time exploring the creek and climbing trees. We planned to use the kayaks, but games of Uno and reading books won out this time - kayaking will have to wait for next trip!
This is the ideal spot for anyone wanting a genuine rural camping experience. The cows wander by, there’s an abundance of birdlife, ducks, and other wildlife, and even lizards happily basking in the sun right beside your camp chair! While we didn’t spot any platypus or owls on this visit, the wolf moon made the trip unforgettable.
Thank you! We'll be back.

My partner and I loved the campsite here! Was a cute little spot where I could easily access and park my 2WD MG. There was plenty of room for at least 2 tents (2 person) and for chairs etc around the fire pit. There were cows that sometimes herded nearby and a horse which was lovely. And a cute creek down the hill a short walk away. We didn’t swim in the creek but was relaxing to sit by it and set up a hammock. I think this is where the 4WD campsites are right by the creek. Definitely recommend insect repellent and to bring your own firewood. We had lovely neighbours on the other larger site next to the tent only one with still a bit of privacy.

The campsite and all amenities were extremely clean and well maintained, and the location was beautiful and convenient! Allan and Nyhree were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to assist us with our stay during the rain which we really appreciated ❤️
One thing to keep in mind mind is that this campsite is quite close to the owners home and is somewhat visible from the main road, but we had an amazing time and can’t wait to stay here again!

This is a good camp to base yourself whilst exploring the nearby beaches, less than 30 mins to Lennox Head and Ballina. Camps are set up right along the creek/lagoon and the host was very friendly and helpful. The creek was not good for swimming but there were some other campers kayaking the creek and we often seen turtles surfacing. Good permanent firepit and nice open paddocks. The entry was well signed and grounds maintained.

Great location if you are looking for a spot to camp and want to explore the surrounding national parks in the rain forrest as well as Byron Bay. The spots are pretty close to each other but it's not bad if all you are planning to do is sleep there.

The Creek Edge is a gorgeous spot and I’ve stayed there twice with my kelpie. There are only three sites so the stay feels very quiet and secluded.
