Look for the big red letterbox with the blue flag on the right.
This spot is eople that think that they are the only ones left in the world. Once at the top, it's yours to live in peace and quiet.
56 acres of undulating hills covered with native bush land, with 10 cleared sites for you to set up camp.
If you like an adventure then this mountain is for you. 2 sites called "Top of the world tent site 1 and tent site 2" are accessible by 4WD only (tent camping is advised) There is a step 19 degree road up to the penthouse summit thats at 1000ft. However if it is dry you can tow a camping trailer but only if you have a winch. If it rains the only way down is backwards tethered to trees via your winch. It's an adventure.
Campers are welcome to have a campfire, there is plenty of timber on the ground that you can collect or bring your own. As long as there is no fire ban.
There are some great bush walks you can enjoy, including down to the creek (about a 40 min walk). The creek is picturesque with lemon trees and peach trees along the edge while in season. There are 2 sites down at the creek called Firefly's and platypus and these are for off road self contained
4x4 campers and those with a tent. The creek is pristine and crystal clear unless it's raining. These 2 sites are absolutely private if you book them both. If you don't mind sharing the creek with another camper then you only need to book 1 site.
There is also a 10 month of the year
30 metre high
waterfall
(depending on rain fall this waterfall can vary from massive water to
slow water)
and another
seasonal waterfall. Don't forget the dam for swimming with the spa tub and fresh mountain spring water constantly flowing into it from an inch and a half poly pipe constantly overflowing into the dam.
The water in the creek
is safe to drink with no filter needed.
The creek is
running and crystal clear and very private.
If you are in a 2 wheel drive RV/ Motorhome you can book the "Paw Paw hill site" or "a dam good view"
There is one site that is all grass accessible in the dry weather. Plenty of drinking water is also available at all sites either via a tap or the creek running water.
All campers MUST HAVE their own portable toilet. If no portable toilet you can purchase one from many camping stores at a reasonable price before coming.
Doing number 2 in the bush is totally unacceptable. Because this is a leave no trace camp site we do ask you to take all trash with you when you leave as well.
There is no council rubbish collection in this area. We respect our beautiful paradise and we know you will appreciate it also.
If you make a fire please leave it so I can mow around it once you leave. E.G Please remove all sticks.

Look for the big red letterbox with the blue flag on the right.
This spot is eople that think that they are the only ones left in the world. Once at the top, it's yours to live in peace and quiet.
56 acres of undulating hills covered with native bush land, with 10 cleared sites for you to set up camp.
If you like an adventure then this mountain is for you. 2 sites called "Top of the world tent site 1 and tent site 2" are accessible by 4WD only (tent camping is advised) There is a step 19 degree road up to the penthouse summit thats at 1000ft. However if it is dry you can tow a camping trailer but only if you have a winch. If it rains the only way down is backwards tethered to trees via your winch. It's an adventure.
Campers are welcome to have a campfire, there is plenty of timber on the ground that you can collect or bring your own. As long as there is no fire ban.
There are some great bush walks you can enjoy, including down to the creek (about a 40 min walk). The creek is picturesque with lemon trees and peach trees along the edge while in season. There are 2 sites down at the creek called Firefly's and platypus and these are for off road self contained
4x4 campers and those with a tent. The creek is pristine and crystal clear unless it's raining. These 2 sites are absolutely private if you book them both. If you don't mind sharing the creek with another camper then you only need to book 1 site.
There is also a 10 month of the year
30 metre high
waterfall
(depending on rain fall this waterfall can vary from massive water to
slow water)
and another
seasonal waterfall. Don't forget the dam for swimming with the spa tub and fresh mountain spring water constantly flowing into it from an inch and a half poly pipe constantly overflowing into the dam.
The water in the creek
is safe to drink with no filter needed.
The creek is
running and crystal clear and very private.
If you are in a 2 wheel drive RV/ Motorhome you can book the "Paw Paw hill site" or "a dam good view"
There is one site that is all grass accessible in the dry weather. Plenty of drinking water is also available at all sites either via a tap or the creek running water.
All campers MUST HAVE their own portable toilet. If no portable toilet you can purchase one from many camping stores at a reasonable price before coming.
Doing number 2 in the bush is totally unacceptable. Because this is a leave no trace camp site we do ask you to take all trash with you when you leave as well.
There is no council rubbish collection in this area. We respect our beautiful paradise and we know you will appreciate it also.
If you make a fire please leave it so I can mow around it once you leave. E.G Please remove all sticks.

Camping at Oakey Ridge was a peaceful place for a quick weekend getaway.
The Host Greg was very accommodating and helpful. On arrival he took us on a guided tour around his property and let us choose a camping spot that would suit us for the night.
The property is just stunning, the photos don't do it justice, beautiful views that make it feel like you're inside a postcard.
The sites are spaced well apart from eachother and are a generous size.
I think I'll be returning to this place in the future.

they clevelry have built shelters ( rof structure ) so if you passsing in rain or extreme heat you have a place to hide.
We def be back the stars at night , the views and location where just wonderful so much space
i camped with my 11 year old girls , felt safe . We also able to find a space just for us was tops ! we mountain biked, adventured and swam in the lake was a hoot.
we enjoyed fabulous milkshakes and hot chips at the coffee van - run by a lovely most charamatic lady (whose name i have tragically forgotten) who gave me a lovely tip on a creek to swim at on our way home called cedar creek what a great spot to go for a dip on your way home ( when you leave misty mountain heading back toward the coast drive 10 min theres a sign saying byrill creek / cedar creek turn left then follow th road then follow the road right along the river the boulders and swimming holes where just gorgous . but back to review of misty creek hell yeah we will be back !

Rowlands Creek was lovely, nice & spacious sites away from other campers, the creek was lovely. I do feel like the house overlooks the sites though so not fully private. Minimal communication from host & no firewood available for the cute element heated baths so we had to do some hunting which didn’t end up heating the bath very well anyway. The creek was where we ended up anyway, swimming & washing which was lovely and free flowing. Uki had lovely coffee but that’s about it, definitely worth venturing further for nice beaches like Pottsville & Kingscliff, they were lovely and ideal.

We had the best time staying here despite changes in our plans due to the weather, the local stores and restaurants are great and despite only briefly being able to explore the railway trail in break of rain we had a blast. The cabin itself is set up amazingly and they have done an amazing job of planting different vegetation and making the property feel like a magical spot. 5/5 ⭐
My only feedback is the tubs for kitchen storage would be a little easier to use if they their contents were labelled on the tub but that's my only piece of constructive feedback for the place.

Nice clear area for setting up camp without too much fuss about space taken up. Good toilet and shower facilities, including for handicapped individuals. Communal building allowing AC power supply for charging phones, cameras and other electronic devices. Very friendly hospitality extended by area manager Patricia and associate Dillon and other staff.

Misty Mountain is a great place to camp, especially since you can choose where you want to set up when you get there. Excellent walking tracks, and great for dogs as well!
