Welcome to my beautiful 100 acres that backs on to Springbrook National Park. There are crystal clear freshwater creeks. Most campsites next to the creek. The property is mostly natural bush with some cleared patches for camping and horse grazing. The road entering the property is damaged due to the resent rain and you will need to drive through water.

Dog friendly (must be well controlled no aggressive dogs).
Drop toilets and hot showers.

The River Orchard
22 sites · RVs, Tents165 acres · Eungella, NSW
*********** SORRY WE ARE FULLY BOOKED FOR EASTER ***********
The River Orchard is a majestic 165 acres property nestled between the Oxley River and Mt Warning. The working macadamia farm boasts five campsites each positioned in different nooks with only one group booked in per campsite.
Pets and campfires welcome.
Hot water shower and compost toilet cleaned several times a day.
The Flats Site - The Flats is an extra large site closest to the Oxley River enjoying direct water access with two levels. The first is sheltered by an overhanging sour cherry tree and overlooks the bottom plateau and swimming spot. This site is a short three minute walk to the shower shed.
Riverview Site - Riverview is perched on the raised riverbank looking down upon the swimming spot and rapids. A sprawling old tree shelters this extra spacious campsite ideal for large groups. We recommend Riverview for guests with younger children as it does not have direct river access and is the closest to the shower shed.
Orchard View - Situated next to the Riverview campsite, this location is close to the river with stunning views across the macadamia orchard.
The Grove - The Grove is one of our cosiest sites framed by a towering tree complete with stag horns, with branches that sprawl out over the campsite offering an abundance of shade. Close to the shower shed & a short walk to the river.
The Pine Hideaway - This is our most private and stunning site. It looks out over the lotus flower filled dam to mountain panoramas and a secluded island.
We look forward to welcoming you.

Camping near Murwillumbah guide
Overview
The small northeastern NSW town of Murwillumbah is situated within an extinct volcanic caldera, beside the Tweed River and in the shadow of jagged Mt. Warning. With high rainfall and rich volcanic soils, the fertile town is surrounded by banana and sugarcane plantations. Just a few kilometres from the Queensland border and within easy driving distance of the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Byron Bay, and several national parks, there are many reasons to add Murwillumbah to your camping itinerary. As well as a couple of caravan parks and campgrounds within the town itself, the best camping options are to be found in the surrounding countryside.
Where to go
Springbrook National Park
Just over the state border in Queensland, north of Murwillumbah, this impressive national park is part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area and houses lush ancient rainforest and impressive waterfalls. There are facilities for permitted tents and camper trailers at the Settlement Campground (think toilets and barbecues but no showers), but wild bush camping is not allowed in the park.
Lamington National Park
Northeast of Murwillumbah and beside the smaller Springbrook, Lamington National Park is also a part of the Gondwana World Heritage Area and offers many of the same features as Springbrook. There are, however, many more opportunities to camp here. The well-equipped O’Reilly’s Campground has tent and caravan sites as well as safari tents and ensuite pods, and various bush camping sites throughout the park can only be reached on foot. Bush camps are closed in December and January.
Byron Bay
A popular coastal town just 50 kilometres southeast of Murwillumbah, Byron Bay draws campers road-tripping through northern NSW who might want to stop at both places. Travellers come here for the beaches and for the alternative hippie lifestyle and activities. You can surf, hike, and practice yoga by day while staying the night at unpowered beachside camps or luxurious glamping pods, and everything in between.
When to go
Murwillumbah is located in northern New South Wales, which has a subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and wet, mild winters. As most travellers are drawn to Murwillumbah to enjoy outdoor adventures in the surrounding parks, spring and autumn are the best times to visit, when temperatures are still warm but not as hot as in the summer. In some national parks, campsites are closed in the middle of summer in December and February.
