14 nights at Arthur Creek Farm

Absolutely beautiful ❤️ just the most private camp site the paddock site was. We felt very safe. It was clear land to set up a tent and great fire pit. Toilet was a bonus. Kids had a ball running around being loud and loads of walks around collecting fire wood. The goats are beautiful and after arranging with Marion the kids got to pat the goats. Easy access to campsite via my Honda Jazz. A good easy drive into Bundaberg 45 minutes. Jason and Marion are beautiful hosts and genuine people.Would definitely recommend.

We recently had a fantastic time over the three days and two nights we stayed. If you are looking for space, peace and quiet, there is plenty of it here. The drive into the property is scenic, we saw a calf being born on the way in, lots of cattle, bird life including an emu & chick and horses. There's plenty to see and do, lots of wild life all over the property. Col and Blodwen were amazing and very friendly, made us feel welcome and at ease during our stay. There is plenty of camping area for larger gatherings or multiple groups. There's a RV site also for anyone to use. The directions to the property were easy to understand and if you have questions they are eager to help out. We missed the rain to get the creeks flowing but it didn't disappoint. We will be going back, most definitely. Not forgetting our two dogs got a very well deserved time away also.

Went there with our Hiace campervan. Great view of the pond. Had a fire. Woke up to the sound of the birds. Amazing. It was easy to find. Helpful owner and neighbour. Only thought is that I am not sure how the dirt driveway would hold up in wet weather for vans or larger. Other than that, would recommend it.
