Location
The site is located at 1 Coopers Lane South, Main Arm.
To get to the site from Mullumbimby:
- – travel along Main Arm Road for 5km
- – turn left into Coopers Lane and drive for 1 km
- – turn left into Coopers Lane South
- – follow the signs and take the first driveway on your right, keep right as you enter the driveway, and go straight ahead through the gate
- – follow the signs and drive through the open space (car park) and up the hill
- – follow signs, staying left at the next fork
- – the road will be sealed for the first 500 meters then dirt for the next section so take it slow
- – the dirt section can be a bit rough in parts – if your car is struggling to get up a hill on the dirt section, the easiest solution is often to reverse back and try again
- – keep driving up until you reach a white building – car park to the right
- – it is a steep driveway but you will be fine in any car!
Airports
Both the Gold Coast and Ballina airports are around one hours drive from the campsite. We usually find the Gold Coast airport offers cheaper fares as it is larger and has more flights.Transport from the airport
As we are in a regional town, public transport is not an option. If you are interested in carpooling from the airport, please let us know and we will put you in touch with other people who are also keen. Alternatively you can get an Uber from the airport but the cost is around $150 each way.Start and finish times
It is essential that you arrive on time so please keep us posted if you are delayed, on 0402 610 597.
