Weekend Trip to She-Oak Hideaway

We booked both sites at Paul’s beautiful Riverside property. It really is a slice of heaven. Almost like a Disney film! The creek is crystal clear and gently meandering, the she oaks border it beautifully. You can easily cross the creek and there is a pleasant walk in the other side. We saw the rikali swimming and hunting our second night and the neighbouring sheep had a peek through the fence ☺️ It was an incredibly easy site with dogs. Paul is lovely to communicate with and puts real effort into providing flat, green grassed sites right beside the picturesque waterway. Recommend highly and we are keen to travel that way again to stop there.

2 nights at The Sleepy Hollow Manor Estate

Great place, calm, peaceful and not overcrowded with enough portable toilets. Amazing starts, we will be back

4 nights at KampKulcha

Help write a We had a great stay—this is such a beautiful piece of land and a perfect place to unwind. It’s a very basic camping setup with minimal amenities, but that’s exactly what we were after, and the peaceful surroundings made it even better. We’d definitely return! A couple of small things to note: the composting toilets are a great eco-friendly option, but unfortunately, not all guests seemed to use them properly, and we ended up doing a bit of extra cleaning. The hot showers were a much-appreciated bonus, though the gas did run out at one point due to high guest numbers, so it’s something to be aware of. Mark was fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. Thanks again for having us!

Weekend Trip to KampKulcha

Awesome secluded camp just of the beach, has all the basic amenities needed. Mark was a legend and met us at the beach to take us to the site, legend thanks mate!

Weekend Trip to Tappy's Tours and Camping

We loved camping at Tappys. 2 couples and a couple of dogs enjoyed the friendly and rustic site. All advertised amenities were better than expected and the evening's and nights under stars with the surf music was blissful. Beach access is fine and sea swimming at calmer times quite possible (just watching for the 4x4 beach traffic). The ponds are an easy walk and provide delightful, secluded fresh water swimming. Thanks to John and Steve for sharing their land and experience with us

Weekend Trip to The Sleepy Hollow Manor Estate

Such a beautiful property and less than 10 minutes to Pottsville (a very cute town) and the beach. Our kids loved the cows and we enjoyed the spacious and quiet camp area. Everyone was friendly and helpful. As the listing suggests there isn’t a shower block and only a few porta toilets located around the property so it’s best to have your own toilet facilities. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to She-Oak Hideaway

We absolutely loved this spot at She-Oak Hideaway! We had 3 families camping there over Easter, the spot was very well kept, spacious and right on the creek. Paul was an excellent host, providing bins for both rubbish and cans/bottles, as well as water to top up supplies. He had 3 kayaks down the creek that the kids paddled around on all day. We will definetly be back again!

Weekend Trip to The Sleepy Hollow Manor Estate

Beautiful, spacious and scenic campsites🏕️. The host Tom was very accommodating, making sure we were well looked after throughout our stay and reccomending all the great spots. There are multiple different sites you could camp, on top of hills with fantastic views, or down in the valley waking up surrounded in the mist, which we found great wacthing the sun rise and set over the mountains. We brought our own firewood but the host will check to see if you need extra or any water etc but there is PLENTY of privacy here, but you may get the odd moo or two! There is a nice little creek we could cool off in and explore running through the site but as my boys were a little noisy, we missed the platypus. Pottsville town only 10 odd minutes drive away if supplies needed and close to GC. No doubt we will be back. I usually wouldn't write this long of a review but was such a great stay.

Weekend Trip to The Sleepy Hollow Manor Estate

We had such a fantastic stay over Easter and will 100% be back as much as we can. So peaceful, the property was lush and calm and the kids loved the space. The cow feeding was a stand out for me! Tom is a great host, always there to help if we needed. 10 out of 10

Weekend Trip to She-Oak Hideaway

Paul was an excellent host and the place was what I expected for my first camping with my dog, a quiet place yet not far from the road. I would be back for sure and I recommend this camping...

4 nights at The Sleepy Hollow Manor Estate

Great hosts, eager to please, checked on us frequently to see if we needed anything. Highly recommend.

3 nights at KampKulcha

We had a great time! Having a small capable camper trailer, being so close to the surf we had a real disconnect. Mark was a very good host trying to help us get to the camp and back to the main road with the changing surf due to Cyclone Alfred. If you enjoy being self sufficient, swimming, (attempting) fishing, and complete disconnect then you will have a good time.

1 night at Tappy's Tours and Camping

John's land is a peaceful place between a freshwater lake and the surf filled with birdsong. Great amenities. We would love to come back.

2 nights at She-Oak Hideaway

Absolutely beautiful location with a fantastic swimming hole! I definitely recommend staying a few nights at She-Oak Hideaway. The kids loved it, and so did we! Paul is a lovely host who takes the time to ensure his guests are comfortable, whilst also offering information on the land and the local wildlife.

1 night at The Sleepy Hollow Manor Estate

Great peaceful spot - perfect for a night stopover. No facilities other than portaloos spread across the campsite - they were v clean. Was quite boggy ground & prepare to get dirty!

3 nights at She-Oak Hideaway

A group of my friends stayed at Paul’s gorgeous site and had an amazing time !! Paul was a lovely host, providing as much help and information as possible to make our stay memorable. The site itself was gorgeous with incredible views and amazing sunsets. Highly recommended !!

1 night at The Sleepy Hollow Manor Estate

Our stay at sleepy hollow was lovely and peaceful it’s a beautiful property.

Weekend Trip to She-Oak Hideaway

Nice sheltered location by the creek. Host was very welcoming and friendly. Kids enjoyed the kayaks in the shallow water. Private location away from the masses.

Weekend Trip to She-Oak Hideaway

Such a lovely spot to camp with our family and friends. Paul is a fantastic host offering some lovely fresh items from his property, he is so welcoming and friendly. Paul has prioritised quality over quantity only having two camp sites on his property which could cater for more if he were to cram people in, but we very much appreciated the space and openness for our dogs, one of the many reasons we will return.

Weekend Trip to The Sleepy Hollow Manor Estate

It was beautiful! The caretaker was so friendly and helpful. Will want to come back :)

I was told that as I journeyed around Australia I would find a place to settle and Maryvale on the Darling Downs was love at first sight. I am happy to share my love for this property and welcome travellers to enjoy the tranquillity of the riverside and enjoy some of the walks and other features of the area. Welcome to She-oak Hideaway, located in Maryvale by the riverside. The riverside is a peaceful place with two large camping areas and firepits. There are 2 large waterholes suitable for swimming, fishing and kayaking. Down by the riverside you will see Water dragons, turtles, ducks, swamp hens, many birds, occasional Wallabies and Koala. Most afternoons the local Rikali (Australias Otter) can be seen diving for Yabbies. We are an 11 minute drive to the very popular Main range national Park which has some beautiful hiking trails and is the perfect place for a picnic. We have a great country pub close by as well which is a short walk down a country lane. Pets are welcome but please ensure they are under your control and that you clean up after them. Campers must be self sufficient with their own toilet. Rubbish bins are provided for campers and a treated rain water tap is available. Kayaks and life jackets are available on request. 1 - 10 Amp power connection is also available on request. Firewood can be purchased for $15 a bag or $20 for a wheelbarrow full.

The campsite is situated on the beach, sheltered by the sheoaks in the back dunes. At the rear of the campsite lies a freshwater lagoon, locally known as the keyholes. Currently, there are four sites available to be booked. There is a camp kitchen with a two gas burner, all pots and pans, plates and cutlery with table and chairs to sit at. There is also a big esky there to use for either your food or drinks. Fresh water is provided in twenty litre drums. The bush shower works on the keg being heated up just like a kettle. Once it is hot then a nice warm shower is to be had to wash off all the salt from the ocean. There is also two compost toilets for your convenience. A unique feature includes the opportunity for surfing, fishing, and swimming in your private lagoon. A short drive will take you to Point Lookout. 10 minutes and you are at the pub mixing with the locals. Access is via the beach only and tides are a consideration. Please check "Point Lookout tides" on Willy Weather. I don't normally travel on the beach if the tide is over 1.5 metres. A 4 wheel drive vehicle is required. Camper trailers can be brought in as they are light. Caravans are not permitted due to the tight turning circles.

Beach and dog-friendly camping near Beaudesert guide

Overview

At the heart of the Scenic Rim region, the pint-sized town of Beaudesert provides a welcome change of pace to the busy Gold Coast resorts to the east. Soak up the laid-back atmosphere as you browse the farmer’s markets, dine at country restaurants, and check into the local caravan park. Beaudesert’s biggest asset is its location. Choose Brisbane or the Gold Coast beaches—both an hour’s drive away—or explore the vineyards and artisan towns of the surrounding Hinterlands. For an outdoor adventure, there are six national parks nearby.

Where to go

Around Wyaralong Dam

Just west of Beaudesert, the verdant shores of Lake Wyaralong have more than 40 kilometers of hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding trails to explore. Take in the views from Mt Joyce, picnic by the lakeside, then pitch your tent at a waterfront camping ground. In the summer, water sports, including kayaking and canoeing, are popular along the lake.

Gold Coast Hinterlands

East of Beaudesert, Tamborine Mountain is the star of the Gold Coast hinterlands, where you can hike to waterfalls, spot wildlife along the Tamborine Rainforest Skywalk, or enjoy wine tasting at a boutique winery. Another must-visit destination is the Springbrook National Park. Enjoy bushwalking and camping in the Numinbah Valley, then discover the glowworm caves of the Natural Bridge.

South Scenic Rim

The southern section of the Scenic Rim region is home to some of its wildest landscapes. Head into the Lamington National Park to hike through UNESCO-listed rainforest, discover hidden waterfalls, and sleep at remote bush camps. To the west, Mount Barney National Park has summit climbs to challenge the most experienced hikers and backcountry campsites in the heart of the bush.

When to go

The hinterlands are a year-round destination, but the best weather for outdoor activities is from late autumn to early spring (April through September). Markets and events are held on weekends throughout the year, and this is the liveliest time to visit. Summer (December through February) campers should prepare for hot weather—daytime temperatures can reach over 30°C—and frequent downpours.

Know before you go

Buses connect Beaudesert to Brisbane and the Gold Coast, but having your own transport is useful for exploring the hinterlands and national parks.

Beaudesert has a selection of shops and restaurants, but for specialist camping gear, it’s best to head to Brisbane or the Gold Coast.
Fire bans are common in Queensland during summer and dry periods, so check local recommendations before lighting a fire.
Camping permits are required to camp within Queensland’s national parks and must be reserved in advance.
