Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

Whether you want respite from the day’s travel or a special spot to stay for a few days, Forest Farm might just be the place for you. Please note though, that you must have your own toilet facility to stay here. Just 5 mins off the Tintenbar exit of the M1 Motorway, Forest Farm is a 280 acre farm bordered by Emigrant Creek in Tintenbar, Northern NSW. Centrally located in the Northern Rivers area, Forest Farm is just 30 mins from Bryon Bay, 15mins from Lennox Head and Ballina and Bangalow, 10 mins from Newrybar and Alstonville and 5 mins from Killen Falls. Staying at Forest Farm gives you access to many famous markets, bike trails, national parks and walking trails, boating, brilliant beaches, restaurants and cafes … you name it. And in between all those visits you get to come home to a very special kind of paradise in a beautiful valley surrounded by trees and forest, birds and other native animals. The property is home to koala, wallabies, echidnas, and many different birds (local birdwatching groups have identified over 100 different species so far). A lovely walk along Emigrant Creek starts from the camping area, and the path leads you through to Tintenbar General Store, a great place for a morning coffee, and any supplies you need. Kayaking and fishing are common along Emigrant Creek. And if you’re lucky, you may just get a glimpse of the elusive platypus along the way. Forest Farm is a quiet, peaceful place and we welcome likeminded campers. We value our relationship with our neighbours, so please no parties or loud music. Laughter always welcome!!!! P.S. Don't forget your mozzie repellent in the wet summer months!!!Wattle’s Lawn (named after our friendly little echidna) is particularly suited to those who love trees, nature and idyllic, peaceful, quiet surroundings. There is a lovely little intermittent creek running past the camp site, so you may come across the water dragons or saw backed turtles along the banks. Frequented by ducks and wallabies. You may also see some friendly cattle across the fence near the camping area. Wattle’s Lawn camping sites are quickly and easily accessible. This campsite is suitable for fully self-contained campers. As there are no facilities on site you will need to have your own camping toilet/shower facilities and your own drinking water. There is a dump point just 10 mins away at the BP Truckstop at the southern exit to Ballina off the M1 motorway. You will also need to take all your rubbish with you when you leave. If you love a fire, small self-contained above ground fires are able to be used during fire permit season. You will need to bring your own firewood. Collecting your own firewood off the property is not possible.

Nice farm stay

Tent · With kids

We enjoyed our stay at Wattle farm, surrounding trees and scenery was amazing. But with 250 acres we assumed we might be further from the road.. unfortunately the sites are right next to the road. We did enjoy the river walk and loved all the birds. Thanks for having us.

The place is pristine and we slept very well. I took it a bit out of desperation because I couldn’t find a spot late in the evening, but I realized the following day that AUD 45 was way too much for a spot on the lawn. Especially with no amenities and just to sleep and go. Looking back, for that price I would have rather parked in the street somewhere quiet.
