Byron Bay hinterland campground. Self check in- just follow the instructions. Check out us on Instagram @glencairnestate We have a coffee trailer at the entrance of the property - serving premium coffee every morning 6am to 1 pm. Check the cafe out at @highwaymyocum Just 8 km from Byron Bay - 10 minutes drive along a scenic country road, with gentle hills around and magical views. Near all the Byron incredible activities, such as great restaurants, waterfalls, beaches. Well positioned between the beaches of Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads. Incredible privacy and quiet. There are goats (with babies) in a paddock next to Site 2, and a horse paddock with 7 horses in front of the tent only sites (7 to 10). We do have a water tap though to fill your tanks and a couple of electric plugs to charge your essentials (check the small old shed close to Site 1). We have 10 different sites, 6 for caravan / RVs/ tents and 4 for tents only (with access only with 4WD) in two different spots of the property - for a total of 20 guests max. It is a former cattle farm that is being currently reforested to the original Big Scrub rainforest. The proceeds from Hipcamp are used to reforest the land. PLEASE make sure to take your garbage away and remember the campsites are for fully contained campers only (no toilets on site). You NEED to be fully contained to stay in the property. You can enjoy walking around and explore the magic sunsets of the Byron Hinterland. there are a fee billabong/ creeks, with the biggest one next to site 7/ 10 (there is a trail from there).

Site 6 - self contained RVs/ tents

Host was very accommodating in letting us choose where to park our campervan as no one else was staying on his property when we were there. We arrived late and could not stay the second night that we had booked due to a scheduling conflict on our end with another activity. All that said, we were very bummed that the insects were so terrible. Likely due to cyclone Alfred flooding before our trip but we essentially could not open a door or window for even a few seconds without swarms of mosquitos filling our campervan, much less spending time outside enjoying the beautiful property. The morning coffee view was amazing though. Would stay again when bugs are more manageable.

Site 8 - tents / 4WD only

I don't recommend this camping site. We wanted to stay out of the busy caravan park in Byron so we picked this site. It was actually more expensive than staying in caravan park ($50/night) with all the amenities but we were hoping being there alone, which we were. First when we arrived we were struggling to find the our spot as after booking there are no detailed instructions how to get there. And then we found out unmaintained site with 30cm long grass. Not very pleasant when it's raining and everything is wet. Unfortunately there is no option to attach photos. I wouldn't mind this fact if it's a reasonable price but being charged $54/night with no refund policy for that, it's a bit rip off. I hope this saves someone else's money or pushes Giorgio to take care a bit of his camp.

Site 5 - self contained RVs/ tents

Great little spot for a night stopover. Close to Byron but far enough away to be out of the town. Was nice and peaceful for our stay but sites where quiet close together and could imagine that privacy would be lacking if there where more people. Other than that, good spot.
