Spirit of the Forest is one of the oldest properties in the area. Many years ago it was an old dairy farm, but it has been through many transitions since then.... uniquely situated only a few kms. from the majestic "Grandis" tree it has an abundance of wildlife close by, wallabies come out to feed on the pasture at dusk and dawn, mighty eagles soar overhead and beautiful Arabian horses run free in the paddocks. Trevor and Maya moved here from Berry NSW 17 years ago. Trevor is an internationally acclaimed entertainer and horse whisperer and Maya is an artist, author and lecturer. Both found the property a haven from their busy schedule of performing overseas. A unique 70 acre Arabian horse property, surrounded by Myall Lakes National Park 4 kms from "The Grandis" the tallest tree in NSW and 10 kms from Bulahdelah Town also near to beautiful North Coast beaches.

Beautiful green campspot!

Beautiful spot, Trevor was a great host. The site was huge with plenty of space, even though there were lots of campers you felt like you were isolated with plenty of space to set up your camp.

Trevor : The People Person.

Tent · With kids

We had an absolutely amazing experience at Spirit of the Forest, thanks to Trevor's exceptional hospitality! From the moment we arrived, Trevor made us feel so welcome and at home. He has a natural way with people, especially kids – our little ones were absolutely thrilled with his friendly and cheerful demeanor. It’s clear he genuinely enjoys making sure everyone, big and small, has a great time. What stood out most was how respectful Trevor was of everyone’s privacy while still being attentive to our needs. He consistently checked in to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed, without being intrusive. It’s rare to find someone who strikes that perfect balance, and Trevor does it effortlessly. If you're looking for a peaceful, welcoming, and family-friendly camping experience, Spirit of the Forest is the perfect choice. Thank you, Trevor, for going above and beyond to make our stay so special. We can’t wait to visit again!

Great to be back and be able to stay on such a beautiful property. You'll be surrounded by nature, wallabies, all types of birds, a gorgeous treescape that circles the property and not to mention an incredible view of the stars at night. Thank you for having us again.

The property overall was quite attractive and spacious however be prepared for distant highway traffic noise and very basic portaloos and no showers. The biggest disappointment was a broken nights sleep due to Trevor allowing a large group of campers to set up at 1am. Their noise echoed through the valley and thoughtlessly talked loudly until 4am when I had to ask them to be quiet.
