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. THE SIDE HAS GOT NOW A NEW POTABLE FLUSH TOILET Rainwater can however be obtained if needed (max 50L). PETS are welcome too.

Peaceful spot but unfortunately not swimable. You can have a fire anywhere which was great. The toilet is a portaloo which would be fine except for the 20+ huntsman. I don’t mind a spider but seeing at least 5 at a glance did not make me want to use it. Barry is lovely and so welcoming and friendly.

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.
