We are a family of six and loved our stay at Take-A-Break camp. The toilet and shower (hot water!!) unit made the stay even more enjoyable. We loved using the kayaks on the dam and practising our fishing skills with the silver perch. (We caught (and returned) three fish. The stay is also located a short driving distance from Rockhampton and Emu Park Beach. Overall, a great stay and would highly recommend.

Had a fantastic overnight stay. The campsite was peaceful, well-maintained and surrounded by beautiful natural scenery. I loved being so close to the water and it was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a quiet night under the stars. Ian & Tracy have created a wonderful camping experience and I’d happily stay again.

Large grassy sites, plenty of room for larger set ups. Our truck and van are just under 20m and was able to stay hitched if we wanted to. Only 25 minutes into emu park. Sealed the whole way except for the last 200m. Great value for money. Would stay again.

Thoroughly enjoyed the natural beauty of Bushywood with its wide variety of birdlife. We were also visited by a kangaroo at our camp site. Access was easy for our Toyota Rav4 towing our 15 foot caravan. I walked a number of the beautiful walks within the property along the side of the lake and through the bush. Our hosts Emma and Bushy were a delight with their friendly service going way beyond normal expectations in helping us.

Beautiful open manicured campsites along Yabba Creek with access to Kayaks. Hosts Brian and Jeanne were very warm and friendly. The flushing toilets are a bit of a walk but very clean. Also, the forest walk is highly recommended - a big fig in there is absolutely amazing. We’ll definitely be back.

The place was amazing! The toilets and showers were clean and well maintained. We will definitely be back.
Katie was incredibly helpful. We accidentally booked a trackside site but wanted to set up our tent near the riverside, which normally would have required an additional fee. However, she kindly waived the extra charge and let us camp there anyway. We really appreciated her kindness.
See ya soon

Perfect. So much space even within plenty of other vans. The kids loved the tyre swing and zip line and Kayaks. It’s the place you go with mates and chill for the week.

Great place, lovely area with plenty of space to move around with plenty of privacy from other campers if needed. Loved the availability of a 4WD track and great views it delivered. Owners and Carelady were fantastic to deal with. Will definitely be back.

Feels like no one’s around even when there is! So quiet and nice and relaxing. Free use of kayaks and bikes kept the kids busy so that was great!
