Ballantyne's Strawberry Farm

10 sites · RVs, Tents3 acres · Mount Charlton, QLD
Nestled in the foothills of Eungella National Park, in behind Calen (Camerons Pocket), this great campsite offers you the opportunity to go swimming, fishing in the fresh water, put a tube in the creek and relax by a campfire. Oh, and there's berries!​ You will be camping right beside St Helen Creek, just a throwing distance from the Strawberry Farm which is open during the winter months (July- September). There is access to toilets and showers, but you will need to bring your own drinking water. You are welcome to have a small campfire in one of our dedicated firepits, and enjoy the starry skies at night. This campsite offers the perfect experience for the whole family. For an additional fee, you can pick strawberries from July- September. Blueberry picking is from October to January. There is lots of wildlife around from kookaburras to kangaroos. Plenty of places to swim if you wanted it to be more private. The campsite area is 2WD accessible and we can accommodate tents through to caravans, campervans and larger camping vehicles. No pets please.

Fruit Farm Camp

5 sites · RVs30 acres · Bloomsbury, QLD
Please note: We are closed until May 1st due to heavy rainfall and storms causing road damage on our property. Fruit Farm Camp offers a peaceful retreat for mature travellers. The unpowered mown campsites are situated ajacent to a farm unfenced dam and on cleared acreage surrounded by natural bush. After 6 months touring Queensland in 2021 with our own caravan, we decided to develop a picturesque area at the back of our land for mature travellers to enjoy. 20 Years ago the land was virgin scrub, now there are over 200 established different exotic fruit, nut, spice and bush tucker trees and plants. We use a number of different farming techniques. Our own beehives provide pollination and honey. A small farm produce shop is available. Guests have access to a toilet, solar powered showers and the camp kitchen throughout their stay. Campfires are permitted outside of restrictions and we have firewood available for guests to use on site. There is a 1.5 km undulating bush walk on the property requiring average fitness. We are located four kilometres from the Bruce Highway at Bloomsbury, access is via sealed road then 300m of gravel road through the farm. We are just 10 mins from the beach or O'Connell river fishing, 1 hour to Mackay or Airlie Beach, 3 kms to the Dittman Bullarama site and 15 minutes to Bredls Wild Farm. Well behaved pets are welcome. Extras: Fruit tasting and guided Farm tour available when staying 2 nights or more. Honey and farm produce for sale. Free book exchange.

Very convenient spot, only 1 km from the highway but quiet. Ideal for an overnighter but you need to be self contained as there are no facilities as per the owner’s description. Bore water is available but we didn’t need to use it. Excellent communication from Matt.

Creeks and Antiques is my absolute favourite place to camp! We always recommend it to our friends and family. It’s super close to town and always a relaxing stay! We love using the canoes and the facilities are always immaculate! Terry and his wife are so amazing and friendly as well, offering wood to buy if we run out.

We absolutely loved this campsite - it was very private, but with support close at hand, as well as being a short drive to Airlie beach. The hosts were there to welcome us and we set up close to the river and next to the tree kangaroos. The river was also lovely to swim in in the morning. A slice of paradise for sure!

We loved camping at Karinda and Ando’s farm stay. The hosts were so welcoming and helpful from the minute we arrived. The campsites were tidy and well maintained. The toilets and showers were clean and easily accessible. The farm stay was easy to find and there was plenty to do whilst we were there. It is also a hop skip and a jump from Cape Hillsborough and a leisurely drive to Eungella National Park and dam. The perfect spot to enjoy all the area has to offer. And the campfire chats at night were a nice way to unwind after a busy or relaxing day!
