Eltham Station Campground is a quiet campground on the Wilson River near the hip village of Eltham, just down the road from Bangalow, a few k's from Clunes and 35kms from Byron Bay. The camp sites are private and have easy access for 2WD vehicles or 4WD. Eltham Station has 7 all weather campsites along a private lagoon. The sites have gravel pads and grass to set up on, plus campfire spots laid out (firewood available) a clearly marked road in and are also surrounded by large trees to provide plenty of shade. There are plenty of birds, frogs, water dragons, platypus (if you are quiet), wallabies and other wildlife around the property and it is a beautiful and peaceful location to set up camp for caravans, motorhomes, swags, tents or vans. Exclusive use of the whole campground for a large group is available on request. We are only 2kms from the village of Eltham and the famous Eltham Pub which is a historic building that often has live music and is a great spot for a meal. It often books out so during busy periods we recommend you book ahead on www.elthampub.com.au Also we are only a 20 minute drive to the beach (recommend Shelly Beach at Ballina with a great cafe called Shelly Beach cafe for breaky or lunch) and are close to the many other beautiful attractions that this area is known for. Children under 6 stay free but hosts must be notified of the total number of people in your group. Each site holds a maximum of 6 guests in total. Campfires are permitted in the rings provided and please ensure you set up in the spot allocated to you especially in busy times. All campers must abide by any fire or other government restrictions. Well behaved pets are welcome but please be aware this campsite is on a working farm with cattle, potty calves, horses, a few of our own dogs. The livestock are behind fences or over the river so will not be on your site.

Eltham
36 ft travel trailer
We spent a few days at Eltham in December and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The site Tanya placed us on was the best of the bunch as it was very private and offered excellent shade in the hot afternoons. As we had +30’C days, it would have been great to have been able to swim in the lagoon, however, the water was a bit too low. The cows absolutely loved it, especially Friendly Cow who is the instigator for the regular water crossing :-) We did manage to find some amazing swimming holes nearby, and even a waterfall in which to swim. The Eltham pub is a great spot for a few drinks and some food. Very dog friendly. Tanya was great host and we enjoyed a good yarn when we could.

Super spot on a farm with great views, bird life, night sounds of crickets and birds. Just the spot to get away it all while siting around the fire pit. Highly recommended.

Very peaceful, easy access, close to Eltham Pub. We loved it but think it’s a little too expensive considering there are no facilities.

Looking for a quiet spot to relax!

Beautiful spacious sites next to the creek, a lovely place to relax and listen to the near by cows, and spot a black duck now and then! Oh and I had a lovely experience watching a hot air balloon land in the paddock across the creek from our camp! It was an awesome site! Would def recommend. Thank you Tanya
