Mullumbimby Leagues Club Camping (CG)

Mullumbimby Leagues Club sits beside the Brunswick River on the outskirts of Mullumbimby in northeastern New South Wales. As well as being a sporting club, the grounds also include a large camping area.

The campground offers both powered and unpowered sites, all of which are level and grassy. The sites are large enough to accommodate anything from tents and small campers to large motorhomes. Some sites are shady, and there are also some with river frontage, great for a spot of fishing without having to venture far from your camp. If you want to cook up your catch, there is a picnic shelter in the campground with barbecue and seating. Amenities are located in the clubhouse. Toilets are open 24 hours a day. For showers, you’ll need to get a key from the caretaker.

Guests can also make use of the clubhouse for drinks, Foxtel, pokies and pool in the afternoon and early evening. And if you’re staying on a Friday night or on a weekend when the rugby league club has home games (around eight weekends per season), you can have a break from cooking and have dinner in the clubhouse. Menu options include burgers, fish and chips, lasagne, pasta and salad, and takeaway is available.

If you’re after some exercise Mullumbimby Leagues Club also has an 11-hole golf course, which has an honesty box for a gold coin donation from campers. If you need clubs, have a chat with the caretaker. As well as fishing, you can also go kayaking on the river.

The town of Mullumbimby is well serviced with a supermarket and a variety of shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs, RSL, medical centres, and chemist.
