Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
All to yourself
100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.
This beautiful property has been nurtured by my parents since 1983. As a boy I helped my parents remove large amounts of lantana weeds by hand. Other invasive weeds have been controlled, allowing the native species time and space to regenerate themselves into the perfect example of native Australian sclerophyll forest that you see today. My parents have since retired and I'm now honored to have the opportunity to share this remarkable environment with you.This campsite is an elevated & level camp, overlooking the beautiful Australian bush. Positioned on a sandstone ridge, facing north east, you'll feel at peace among well established eucalyptus & sclerophyll forest.  The site is privately secluded from the main public road, but close enough to hear the occasional vehicle in the distance. The sandy soils here challenge the under story with low fertility and often dry conditions. Common wildlife include echidna, goanna, wallabies, various insects, and a wide variety of bird-life.  You'll need to be self-contained with your own camping toilet/shower and water. Please only use the designated stone fire-pit. Dogs on leashes & horses are welcome. There is ample opportunity here for hiking through the bush & exploring the amazing natural environment. Be aware, due to the sloping land & dense trees, trailers cannot be turned around once inside the property. Please un/load trailers outside, opposite the driveway entrance, on the side of the main public Dyraaba Road. The property is 50 hectares fenced on all sides & you are free to roam on foot or horseback throughout. Unfortunately motorized vehicles including motorcycles, are not permitted to roam on this property. On a clear day, in the distant horizon you can spot Wollumbin Mountain (AKA 'Mount Warning') which is also the most prominent mountain visible from Byron Bay, & throughout Bundjalung country. Dyraaba is part of the traditional lands of the GULI-BUL tribal area, within the greater Bundjalung Nation. This HipCamp site is about 100km or 1.5hr drive inland from Byron Bay, NSW.

Highly recommend
Here is the super private camping spot in the nature, no other campers around at all. We’re so lucky to stayed in Ester time. Thanks so much for Daniel to giving us this opportunity!

Peace amongst the trees
We loved camping at Daniels Bush Camp! The site was well kept and there was plenty of space to set up. We enjoyed the sounds of the birds amongst the trees. Highly recommend this site!

The photos really don't do it justice! My partner, my dog and I loved every second of our stay here, using it as a base from which to enjoy some time in Kyogle and Casino (the property is equidistant from both). The roads to the property are a little potholed, so drive carefully - hopefully the council will attend to those soon. Although locating the entry to the Hipcamp was a little tricky in the dark, the Host's directions were bang on and we enjoyed trying to spy the semi-hidden entrance! The site itself is a lush, tidily-kept private spot nestled on the edge of a gully and there is no shortage of wildlife to enjoy (we spotted 2 echidnas!). We would have enjoyed exploring the bush on foot if only we had more time! We will absolutely be back here next time we're in the area.

Tranquility Awaits.
Delightfully peaceful little hideaway surrounded by large tract of bushland, set in amongst farmland. 20 mins from large town where water, dump point and rubbish disposal are freely available. Telstra and Optus coverage. Enough flat space for an 8 man tent. Perfect for those who are self sufficient looking to recharge the old batteries and get away from it all.
