Chowans Rest is a flat meadow, easily accessible to any vehicle and caravans, ideal for all campers looking for a safe and peaceful base to explore this fantastic region. The camping area is quite private, and around 400 meters from the main house and nearest neighbours. It is adjacent to forested areas, including Mt Chowan and Nullum State Forest, so have a lovely green outlook. Chowans Rest is very conveniently located - It is just 5-10 minutes easy cycling from the Northern Rivers Rail Trail, so an ideal spot for keen cyclists. It's also a 40 minute drive from Byron Bay, 30 minute drive from Northern Rivers beaches and southern Gold Coast beaches, a 10-minute drive to Wollumbin (Mt Warning) National Park and the historical village of Uki. There is also a 40-minute scenic drive to the township of Nimbin, along with several beautiful hiking trails nearby.The camping area is a wide, flat, grassy meadow, with plenty of space to tuck into your own private corner.

Awesome little camping spot!

Tent · Group trip

My group of friends loved this beautiful little spot. Barry was so accomodating and gave us lovely recommendations for activities to do in the area. The stars and the nature scenes were amazing at night. We had our dog stay and he was very happy in this camping spot. Bonus points for the very clean port-a-loo!

Chowen's Rest was a lovely zen spot to spend a few days with the birds and frogs. Barry was a most wonderful host, I feel very blessed to have met him. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with the view of the mountain. Thank you Barry and John!

Nice spot

Tent

Friendly host and easy spot to stay for a night on a roadtrop. There is one spot that looks like the photos - that spot was taken when we got there - so we ended up taking a spot at the edge of the field which was fine, but did look out at the house.

Chilling at Chowan’s rest.

13 ft pop-up camper

We enjoyed 4 wonderful days at Chowan’s rest. Barry is very welcoming and hospitable.. His property is quiet, and there is lots of space to enjoy your privacy from other hipcampers, although we enjoyed meeting the other guests whilst we were there. The land is well maintained and mostly all flat so great for your set up. There are two small watering holes which we were lucky to have been able to set up in front of, and lots of shade for the summer months. Lovely breezes kept us cool in the afternoon and night too. The Northern Rivers rail trail is close by and other places of interest we visited in the area were Mt. Jerusalem NP (unicorn falls) Uki, Palmers Road swimming hole just out of Uki, Tyalgum, Murwillumbah etc. Pottsville/Caba beaches only 25 minute drive. Great base to have whist exploring this beautiful part of the Northern Rivers. Thank you Barry, we will see you again soon!

Tent

Barry went out of his way to meet and interact with me. His land was the perfect getaway. Had the perfect spot by the dam. Toilets was clean and property maintained. While it doesn't look that big of an area, there is plenty room for privacy. But big enough for several groups. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again and recommend to others.
