Close to the airport plenty of room to camp, nice and flat land. Midges so do come prepared for that. We arrived late in the evening and left very early in the morning. No toilet, no power and no water - be prepared for that too. No trouble contacting host was friendly to deal with.

A serene, peaceful camp nestled amongst open eucalyptus forest, abundant with birds. The awning cover makes camping life a little bit easier than many sites. If you’re travelling solo this will be a rejuvenating evening in nature.

Nice being a single site, undercover area and ensuite is great as can leave stuff in the area. We were in a tent and that worked well. Nice fire area, easy to find wood. Pub not far if needed. Went off looking at Bundaberg and small places in the area. Easy to find, and shown what was there. Friendly dog came to visit. No internet service, which wasnt bad.

Weekend Trip to Peaceful Bush Camp-Wrinkles

Wrinkles Bush Stay is a 10/10 must visit. It is the perfect blend of privacy with all the creature comforts you could need. Pull up your van and set up nothing because you have it all. A hot shower, toilet, fantastic patio with built in furniture including a bar overlooking the fire pit (which has flood lights) you have your own self contained area with a quant bush craft fence. You have a bit of bush walking to do which is great and there are giant gumtrees everywhere and firewood galore! I also found some great sticks to craft a couple walking poles and some smaller pieces that could make great spoons. I really enjoyed walking the property, I saw wallabies, a duck, a stallion and a mare, three bulls and three cows. I saw eagles and honey eaters I also saw black cockatoos flying in large flocks overhead in the afternoons which was a highlight. Really one of my favourite spots. I recommend staying here after camping off grid for a while to recharge. Couldn’t say one thing wrong about the place. Extended as long as I could. Thanks for having me.

This was our second time camping here for a week and it did not disappoint. It's so nice to have the whole space to yourself along with the covered area with power, toilet, hot shower and a great firepit from which we had many delightful meals. For those who enjoy wildlife spotting, I've seen over 55 species of birds on the property, wallabies, kangaroos, goanna, snakes and microbats, the horses and cattle are very friendly and enjoy a pat. Firewood is plentiful if you have a decent large toothed handsaw or chainsaw as it's very hard wood. Owners are also very friendly and communicative. Highly recommend staying here.

Fantastic spacious area to pull up for 5 nights, conveniently located to explore what the Bay has to offer. Getting in the gate was a little tight in our 21 foot caravan but still doable, we will definitely be back. Cheers
