    170 acres of lush flats and rolling hills located on the NSW North Coast is Highland Cow Farm. It is home to a range of beef cattle breeds including Scottish Highlanders who love to be fed carrots, Dexter, miniature black Galloways, and Belted Galloways, or, all known collectively as the pets. The property is located close to Nimbin and Lismore and less than an hour to Byron, Ballina, and several National Parks. It's a relaxing, convenient base camp from which to explore this beautiful region. The farm has lots of walks across flats and up hills for amazing views. You can be as active or as still as you like here. you can choose from several lovely spots in the paddocks to set up camp. Guided ATV tours can also be booked. Try feeding carrots to the Highland cattle or for a wholesome and relaxing experience, you can brush and hug a bull!Campers who are completely self-sufficient, and have an off-road camper trailer/caravan or good clearance vehicle/4WD, you are welcome to choose a location within one of our grassy cattle-free paddocks. Lots of options, with lovely outlooks, and level spots. Tuck into the shady trees, or set up in the open paddock, it's up to you. From your camp spot, you can easily take a leisurely stroll around, exploring the farm. For the more adventurous, there are some lovely hikes up the hills where you'll be rewarded with amazing views.

    An amazing tranquil farm stay with
    16 ft pop-up camper
    An amazing tranquil farm stay. The hosts Jan and Tony are brilliant coming in and getting to help feed the herd was a definite highlight of the weekend. Camping wise was peaceful and felt a million miles away despite not being too far from town. And the night sky is breathtaking. Will definitely be going back

    We loved our stay. Jan was wonderful to deal with and we loved meeting the cows and feeding them. It is obvious that Jan loves her cows. We will definitely be back.

    Jan and Tony are fantastic hosts, and they went out of their way to accommodate our stay. It's a beautiful location, clean, easy to access, and even giving us an extended look around more of the property/ feed some of the gorgeous cows they have! We would definitely recommend the spot to anyone looking for a nice place to stay for a while.

    Jan was very friendly and helpful. Great spot just off the road with a beautiful view, and it was surprisingly private. Perfect for a night or two whilst exploring around the area.

    Camping with cute cows 🐮
    Tent · Group trip
    Camping with a herd of adorable highland cows did not disappoint! The site itself is stunning and very private, great for afternoon frolicking and heated game nights. Jan and her partner are both very welcoming and were considerate of all our needs. Thank you for having us:)
