    Located in the heart of the northern rivers, centrally located to Lismore Ballina Lennox and Byron. The property is bordered on one side by the beautiful Pearces Creek which has a number of great swimming holes and idyllic camp spots where you can enjoy a cuppa by the fire. Swimming and fishing can be enjoyed in the creek or take a walk to the top of the hill for a sunset picnic overlooking the border ranges. 20 minutes to Lismore, 20 minutes to Ballina, 25 minutes to Byron Bay, and 15 minutes to Lennox Head. Set up camp along the creek and enjoy the sound of the running water. Watch the kingfishers dive for fish. Try your luck at catching a bass or perch. Have a swim or canoe. Make a fire and get cosy. You need to be a self-contained camper with your own camping toilet/shower, and drinking water. The cows will probably come and say hello (they’re friendly). Why not take a walk up the hill or through the big scrub bush walk at Booyong (3 mins drive away.) You can also go for a surf at some of NSW's most iconic surf spots including Lennox Point and The Pass at Byron bay. If you want to escape the crowds, take your surfboard down to Evans Head (40 mins away). While you're here why not enjoy some of the best local artisan shops, cafes and markets including the famous Bangalow Markets. Or just sit, relax and unwind. Well behaved pets are welcome to camp with you.We acknowledge that our property is on Bundjalung Country, the land of the Widjabul Wia-bal people. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present, and emerging. Welcome to our family farm! We’re delighted to share this slice of heaven with you. Set up camp along the peaceful creek, where you can relax to the soothing sounds of flowing water. Take a dip, make a fire, and settle into the tranquility of nature. There are plenty of walking and hiking tracks nearby, as well as stunning waterfalls to explore, including Minyon Falls (a scenic 30-minute drive) and Killen Falls (just 10 minutes away). For surfers, some of NSW’s most iconic surf spots, like Lennox Point and The Pass at Byron Bay, are an easy drive. If you’re after a quieter break, head to Evans Head, just 40 minutes away. Explore local artisan shops, cafes, and the famous Bangalow Markets. The iconic Eltham pub is an easy 5-minute drive away and well worth a visit. They also offer a courtesy bus from our driveway (confirm and book with the pub directly). Bring your clubs and play a round at Teven Valley Golf Course, arguably the best 9-hole course in the country, and only 4 minutes away. Also, just ask us about the best local places and attractions, and we will happily point you in the right direction :) This is a self-contained camping site, so please bring your own camping toilet, shower, and drinking water. We recommend a 4WD for easy access to the site. Well-behaved pets are welcome to join you on your adventure!

    Cameron's property offers an idyllic setting for a camping getaway, highlighted by its spacious, grassy sites and the soothing sounds of a nearby creek. Campers frequently praise the privacy and tranquility of the area, making it perfect for families and pet owners alike. The creek not only provides a picturesque backdrop but also a refreshing swimming spot, ideal for cooling off during the day. While most reviews are glowing, a few campers noted minor issues with access and occasional noise from dirt bikes, but these seem to be rare occurrences.

    Lovely spot by the creek
    19 ft pop-up camper
    We loved our weekend away at Cameron’s property. The sites are large and grassy and so lovely to fall asleep to the sounds of the running creek by night. Also nice for a cool dip during the day. Our little moodle had plenty of safe running room. Even though there were other campers the sites are designed for maximum privacy with everyone having plenty of room. Great base to explore Byron/Bangalow region and close to the lovely laid back beaches and coastal walks at Lennox Head. Would definitely recommend and will be staying again :-)

    Had such an awesome time here, we had the place to ourselves on a site right by the creek which was nice to jump in and cool off. If we had more time would definitely have stayed longer!
