Big decent site and sunny or shady areas to choose from. Camping with animals. Just make sure your pets have taken tick and flea tablets due to live stock and long grass.

As a seasoned traveller, was easily in the top 3 farm camp experiences. Being so close to beaches, no mozzies at all, clear instructions and a very nice hi hello when they were mowing, absolutely booking again 🙌

Enjoyed our time, beautiful scenery, close to beach in Pottsville. Creek at this particular time (Jan 2026) was not flowing well enough that I would like to sit in to cool off as the cows travel through and I just didn’t feel comfortable. Found the instructions a little overwhelming, lots there to read and understand. All common sense with respecting others property. I would recommend, to tick off your list but we won’t be returning as there’s so much out there to see. Found price quite up there, I assume due to being highly rated. Thank you for letting us enjoy your property.

We absolutely loved our stay at Sleepy Hollow Manor Estate – Platypus Creek. Such a peaceful, quiet spot that felt wonderfully secluded and relaxing from the moment we arrived. Tom met us on arrival and was incredibly welcoming, taking the time to show us a few great camping locations so we could choose the perfect spot. The creek was beautiful, a real highlight, and added to the calm, natural feel of the property. The location is fantastic, especially if you enjoy being active. It’s so close to the Tweed Rail Trail, which made it ideal for our bike rides and runs, but still felt tucked away and tranquil back at camp. If you’re looking for a quiet, nature filled escape with a thoughtful host and easy access to outdoor adventures, this place is a gem. We’d happily stay again.

Was very peaceful here around New Years Day. Enjoyed exploring the property and spotting some animals at night. The cows just come by the camping areas sometimes - so be comfortable with that!

This was our first ever hipcamp. Had a great time with the family at Sleepy Hollow. The kids loved the cows and the rope swings and there was plenty of open space for them to play. The property is excellently maintained and Tom was friendly and a fantastic host. Will absolutely come back.

Such a beautiful property with amazing views! Plenty of space to camp and the toilets around the place are such a bonus. Woke up to cows and calves peacefully inspecting the site.

What a beautiful camp spot not to far from the Gold Coast, a perfect distance to 'get away into nature', without spending too much time on the road! It was well sheltered, lots of shade and by a trickling little creek. Tom and his family were very welcoming and easy going. They checked on us, letting us know where there was fire wood, toilets and bins. At the time, Tom was concerned for the wellbeing of his mother (who was in hospital) but was still there for all his campers. We were very grateful and felt the care for ensuing things ran as smoothly as possible for others in the face of personal affairs. Thank you!

We loved camping at Platypus Creek at Sleepy Hollow. The spot was beautifully mowed. It is a peaceful location with a pretty outlook. We enjoyed when the cows came around our spot. Tom checked on us each day and we were able to purchase some firewood on site. Each night we enjoyed a campfire and the stars were amazing. We have our own shower and made use of the portaloos. Don't forget your toilet paper. The proximity to the beach is great. We could pop down and swim but then retreat to our lovely peaceful campsite.

Loved the remote and quite stay just around the corner from all the buzz at the coast. The place is very well kept. Sadly didn’t see any Platypus in the creek.
