Welcome to Emu creek Retreat One of the best destinations for hiking, camping, bushwalking, swimming, Kayaking, fishing, mountain bike riding (bicycles only), bird watching, 4wdriving and even fossicking, since the old gold mining town "Lunatics" was not far away from us. Dogs, men's best friend, are definitely welcome. If travelling in a 2wd please contact us before booking, some of the campgrounds have to be reached by crossing the creeks, Girard camp is one of them where the office and the showers are, at times this crossing is under water and is only accessible by 4wd. Other campgrounds are available near the entry gate that don't require a creek crossing for access and toilets are available on some of them. One side of the property is bound by Emu Creek and the other by Girard Creek, both creeks have enough water with some permanent deep water holes for all year activities.

4 nights at Rainforest Gateway

A beautiful spot above a little flowing creek. Nice and flat with some shady areas. Shower/toilet not too far away. There is also a fully equipped kitchen and communal area where you can relax and charge phones etc. The lovely lady filling in for Peter and Jannine (sorry, I didn't get your name!) was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Both myself and my dog felt very welcome and comfortable. I would definitely stay again :-)

1 night at Misty Mountain - Kunghur

This place is a true haven of peace. I can only recommend staying here for one or several nights. Nature and all the sounds that come with it are countless, creating a truly delightful auditory experience. I was so happy to be able to light a fire while watching the sunset gently illuminate the mountains. The shower and toilets at my campsite were very clean. I loved being able to cook my breakfast on the gas stove in the morning. As I didn’t have a camping stove, it was a real pleasure to enjoy a freshly cooked, hot breakfast. I highly recommend going for a swim and enjoying the refreshing coolness of the water if you get the chance. A big THANK YOU. This place is truly rejuvenating. I really needed it.

1 night at The Ranch on Clarence

Wow, words can not do justice the amazing time we had at the Ranch! The river views, the hospitality, the tranquility & the fire baths were just magical. Shanti has truly created a slice of heaven out there. For the icing on the cake, make sure to book the horse trek + swim.. i’ve done many treks in my life and this was the best. Plenty of trotting and cantering through stunning scenery, finished by a swim with the horses. Shanti’s way with horses is so special to witness, you can tell they love her as much as she loves them. We will be back, with friends in tow.

Amazing place and a must stay for anyone looking to get away. The facilities are all in excellent condition, the location is beautiful and peaceful, and Vili is a great host. Access is a little rough, but that’s what it takes to truly escape! We’re already looking forward to our next trip back!

What an amazing place and vibe! Greg is a very welcoming and helpful host, and his farm is absolutely gorgeous. Each of the tent sites is beautiful and has lots of space. I stayed at the Fig tree campsite, which was pretty and had a swing. The nearby creek is amazing to go for a cool-down dip. The amenities are basic but all you need, it’s exactly as shown in the pictures! Hope to return someday. :)

Had another great stay at Christmas Creek, although some other guests didn’t follow the quiet rule. The owners were very quick when we told them about this to deal with the issue professionally and efficiently. To others, please read the rules before you travel to and respect their rules and property. We love the quiet place at Christmas Creek and will definitely return

Weekend Trip to Tyalgum Showground

Took the camper for a weekend away with the wife & we both loved our stay. About a hour drive from Gold Coast through mostly countryside is easy. Hosts greeted us on arrival & are very friendly & relaxed just like the location. Quiet country side views every where we looked, plenty of space between us & other campers. Very clean amenities with hot showers. Swimming area, local grocery store, cafe & great pub ALL a 200m walk across the paddock means no need to drive again once your set up. Wife & I agree we WILL become regulars here.
