Primitive camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Hogback is a 2000 acre nature refuge and run as a cattle operation, emphasis in sustainability, in native forest. This property is the perfect getaway, and a photographers dream, you can do as little or as much as you like. The seasonal creek draws the wildlife to the area making this a birdwatchers paradise, sit back and watch the wedgetail eagles soar as the red-tailed black cockatoos serenade the afternoon away. This unique property has inland and coastal fall making it home to several ecosystems, including the semi-permanent waterfall. If you're looking for a bit more than the usual campsite then bring the gold pans and the detectors because we are located at the base of the Mt Rawdon gold mine. Many a yarn will be told of the gold that can be found in the hills around. A fantastic place to bring the family and the 4 legged friends (on leads as this is a working property). We also have a small barbed wire paddock available for horses by request. BYO horses and yards available at RV sites only. We look forward to welcoming you to Hogback. Please note there is no mobile reception - except up the hill. No toilets. BYO amenities and leave no trace.

A great insight into the challenges faced on a working cattle property in rugged country. Plentiful wildlife if you explore and look hard. The interaction with the horses and dogs will put a smile on your face. The real deal with great hosts Blodwen & Col that everyone should experience.

Couldn’t find it - ended up at the mine and had to turn around. Had no reception to send a message to the owner or call. Did not expect it to be so difficult. There is no road sign or directions for the property. Ended up camping on someone else’s cattle property by mistake. What a pity, was so looking forward to relaxing in a natural setting for 1-2 nights.

disappointing
never really got to stay the directions were hard to follow we ended up going twice. the first time we went we couldn't find the area that night the host rang to see where we were we explained that we didn't know if we were in the right area as there was no signage. we returned 2 weeks later and the host was going to meet us but that didn't happen we travelled further along the track until we got to a locked gate we managed to turn around which was very hard having a hybrid camper on tow. we returned to the area where the host was to meet us and waited and no one turned up. it was very disappointing payed the money to stay and did 2 trips from Gladstone. it was a waste of money and time. they need to have more signage to show the way.

It was very relaxing sitting in the running creek and exploring the area.

Tranquility by the creek
We really enjoyed the peace and quiet of Blodwen’s place at Hogback Creek, the campsite by the creek was perfect for our setup, we went horse riding on the second day and loved the experience Blodwen gave us. All and all we will be back and look forward to catching up with Blodwen and Col
