Rocky River Play Station

4 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents800 acres · Rocky River, NSW

Find us on a large property on the banks of the Timbarra River, located 20 km / 30 min south of Drake Village (an old gold mining community). We share the property with lots of wildlife, and with our resident cows. There is currently only one camping site accessible by car (the River Block), but if you're up for a trek we can point you to the back hills where you'll find a whole other world. Your hosts live further back on the property so you can find us if you need help. Please note there is no mobile reception, so it is a great way to get away from it all. There are no bins here... please remove all your rubbish on departure. Campfires are welcome (when no fire ban). You can bring your own firewood, or gather what fallen timber you can find. There is currently no toilet, shower or drinking water so please bring your supplies. Pets possible on request. We love having furry friends visiting, but we also love our local wildlife and our lawnmower cows, and we like to keep their camper experience stress-free too.

Granite & Eucalyptus Bush Camping

1 site · RV, Tent21 acres · Eukey, QLD

Granite & Eucalypt Camp sits on "Mckenzie Glen" and offers a private camping experience for families and their dogs. The camp allows for self contained tent campers and caravans, camp trailers or RVs. We only allow 1 group at a time, so there will never be any other guests on the property whilst you are there. So once it is booked, the place is entirely yours. For example, if 3 families would like trip away with the kids, it will be exclusive to your group. There is a plentiful supply of firewood around the block that can be collected, if there isn't a load already near the fire. A load of wood is normally replenished once a month and left next to the firepit. There is very limited mobile phone reception along Eukey Road and it is almost non-existent at the camp. Which is great if you want a digital detox! However, there is a way you can still be connected and these details can be provided upon request. There is no toilet... yet. We do sometimes dig a drop toilet but this is not available all the time and it moves frequently. There is a small post hole digger with a bottomless bucket toilet (more affectionately called "Chainsaw") set that you can dig a hole for a toilet and a cage that gives some privacy (see the photos). But please make sure you fill it in with your finished and all the toilet paper is buried at least a foot under the ground. It gets it name from the rodeo bull "Chainsaw" because if you dig the hole too wide and can last 8 seconds on the seat, you're a legend! SO good tip for campers if you want to use it. A favourite thing to do at the camp is to have sundowners on what we call the "Zen Rock". It is a large rock formation about 100m the east of the camp. You can't miss it. There is an incredible amount of bird life around and a family of magpies live in trees just near the camp kitchen (they are friendly). You will often be woken by the Kookaburras and see the gorgeous Rosella's cruising around picking at grass seed. McKenzie Glen provides a swag deck that is large enough for 2 double swags side by side. There is a fully fitted camp kitchen which includes a gas stove. Our point of difference is that for a family who can’t afford all the kitchen camping equipment etc - you will have 'most' of the luxury's of home. You will need an esky for your food and drinks. There is no power, however the kitchen has a small fixed 12 volt system that will run the small pump for the kitchen and the lights. You'll see the switches. There may also be some cattle on the property, they are agisted by my lovely neighbours. They are usually weaners or cows and calves. McKenzie Glen - Granite & Eucalypt Camp is a stones throw of the Girraween National Park, a number of Granite Belt wineries and it is not too far down the road is Storm King Dam where (now that its full) is great for fishing and kayaking and boating. The area used to be mined for Tin. Keep any eye out for lumps of granite rocks on the ground and if your lucky enough you might find some with flicks of tin. If you hold the rock up to the light you can see the fecks shine in the light. If you are a coffee lover like me, there is St. Jude's Cafe down the road on the New England Highway at Ballandean. I highly recommend popping over to Ballandean Estate Wines on Sundowner Road, they've been making wine since 1932. The smell of the food coming from their Barrel Room Restaurant will draw you in even if you're not hungry (you can book a table on line so you don't miss out). And if you like a good country pub meal and a cold beer, then the Ballandean Tavern is the go. Both St. Judes and the Ballandean Tavern are only 8.8km from the camp. To the North of the camp, this bushland is a declared bushfire zone. To stay aware of radio broadcasts, the local ABC channels are 104.9 (ABC radio) 103.3 (Triple J).

Breakfast with a vew

Weekend Trip to BAJIMBA Eco Camping and Farm Stay

Absolutely stunning, secluded location. I went with my partner and 2 dogs and it was incredibly relaxing, we felt we were in our own little world up there! The bed was super comfy and cozy, the use of all natural products was definitely an added plus. I'd have to say my favourite was the homemade muesli 🤤 I shamelessly ate all that was provided to us! Absolutely delish!

4 nights at BAJIMBA Eco Camping and Farm Stay

Absolutely stunning spot on a gorgeous organic farm. Gosh did we need this break! Hosts were so friendly and even provided some of their tasty produce during the stay. Even some temporary wild weather didn't put a dampener on our stay. The fire in the tent keeps you warm along with the immaculate linen. Do yourself a favour and book the hot tub under the stars. What a treat! These guys go above and beyond to make a memorable stay in a beautiful location. Five stars!

The Ranch on Clarence

1 night at The Ranch on Clarence

If you are reading this and thinking of booking – stop reading and book (with riding and the Troopy Safari)!! You won’t regret it. The experience Shanti and Jingles have created at The Ranch on Clarence is truly exceptional – beautiful stallions cruising around the homestead, and the stunning baths overlooking the Clarence that pictures just don't do it justice!! We’ve stayed at a ton of Hipcamps in our travels and this is by far our favourite – although I may be biased, as we were fortunate enough to pick this amazing spot to get engaged. The horse riding experience was also brilliant but the troopy safari is an absolute highlight that cant be missed! Shanti and Jingles were so amazing – they even popped a bottle of champers to celebrate! Again, if you are thinking of staying at the ranch, book it now! Shanti and Jingles, thank you for making our experience so unbelievably amazing!!

We always have such a beautiful time at Steph’s place. Just perfection. She goes above and beyond with the facilities. We are always planning our next trip before we leave.

It’s a wee hike to get here, but the views are spectacular.

1 night at Rocky River Play Station

Such a beautiful property. The section we camped was nestled in a valley with the creek in the background. Who couldn't feel anything but relaxed and calm in this setting. The property joined onto the river that would be a very cosy spot in the summer to have a dip with the kids and cool off. Jess was nothing but helpful and hospitable. Went above and beyond. I would recommend this place to anyone needing to get away and switch off and relax.

Weekend Trip to Yarran

Great spot wide open spaces. Creek wasn’t to far away and great for the kids to explore and have a quick dip in.

One of our favourite places to camp this was our second time and the place is still great and fun to hang out with friends and family. Great facilities heaps of room. And it’s close enough to the nation parks for day trips.

We loved our three nights camping at The Park. The river was amazing, and spectacular after recent rain. The camp spot was quiet, amenities we very clean and well maintained. Prue and Bruce are lovely people, can't speak highly enough of this Hipcamp.

We loved our stay at the Koala site at Mindoo. Sites are very well spaced, grass had been cut at the site with a designated firepit area. We had a section of creek to all to ourselves. The kids loves the flat space to kick a ball and play along the creek. Bruce happily gave advice on where to explore/swim with the kids. We can't wait for our next trip!

Weekend Trip to All Up Speckle Park Farm Stay.

What a beautiful part of NSW. We had a 1 yo, two 3 yo’s and four adults (and a pup) at the Shouse and the space was so perfect. Beautiful surroundings, clean clutter free interior which was perfect for little ones. Secure fence for the pup with a donkey friend to hang out with. Fire at night was amazing and the drive was pretty awesome too. Would definitely come again 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Great private spot. I had telstra and optus coverage if your needing it. Had a fireplace and perfect clear view of the skies. I would come back here again, thank you to the host 🙂

Weekend Trip to "Mindoo"

We were so grateful for our stay at Prue’s Property! It’s a beautiful and spacious spot, perfect for multiple families to gather and enjoy time together. The open layout made it easy for both kids and dogs to roam freely and safely, which we really appreciated and couldn’t have imagined them any happier. We visited after a heavy rainfall, so a 4x4 definitely came in handy—but in drier conditions, access would be no problem at all. Overall, a peaceful and welcoming place that we’d happily return to and hope to in the near future. So grateful people like Prue choose to share their very own slice of beauty with the public.
