Where is it?

Camp Drewe is located at Lennox Head, only 200m from the beach! It’s about 2 1/4 hours south of Brisbane, just over the border in NSW.

You can use the map below to get directions, but briefly here’s how to find Camp Drewe…

• Follow Pacific Highway south.
• Go past Byron Bay turnoff and continue on until reaching Knockrow. You will see ‘Macadamia Castle’ on your right with a big knight in armor out the front.
• Go approx 4.5km past this and take left exit to Lennox Head down Ross Lane.
• Turn right at the end T intersection and take next left into Lennox Head.
• Go along until you reach the beach front and turn left (north).
• Follow Pacific Parade along the beach until you reach the surf club (large blue building on beach front).
• Look for the blue signs in front of the surf club pointing to Camp Drewe. Turn left here and follow the gravel road around left side of the lake.
• Camp Drewe is about 1.5 km on the left, you can’t miss it.
