HOSTEL REVIEW – Glen Villa Resort, Byron Bay

This campsite is where I’m currently living and working in Byron – but don’t let that put you off, and don’t worry there’s as little bias as possible!

HOSTEL REVIEW: Main Beach Holiday Park

Popped up to Surfers to stay with a few mates at this campsite – as there are no campsites actually in surfers this is the nearest one. About a 30min walk into the actual town of Surfers (although there are a couple shopping malls in short driving distance) and only about a 100m walk to the beach!

HOSTEL REVIEW: Pyramid Campsite

I choose this site as it was the nearest and first hit that came up when searching for somewhere to stay during the Quiksilver Pro.

HOSTEL REVIEW: The Beaches Campsite

This campsite on the outskirts of Byron offers both powered and unpowered pitches. I paid $15 per person per night, at least half the price of a hostel.

The site was spacious and with good facilities – BBQ area, lit and covered tables and clean toilets/showers.

On the Ballina road south of Byron it’s a 5 minute drive into central Byron, or about the same to the beach. Taxi wise for nights out its around $12 one way…or a 20min walk….or you could be cheeky on the way in and call the free Buddah Bar bus!
