Plenty of trees to put up that hammock or soak in the creek with views overlooking the wilderness. Sit back and gaze at the starlit skies while the kids roast yet another marshmallow on the campfire.

Unplug and unwind at our 22 acre camping paradise nestled amongst the rolling green hills of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Listen to the babbling water sounds of Scrubby Creek and the Mary River that meandering through the perimeter of the property for over 1 kilometer. Stroll through our mini rainforest, paddle in the creek or have a dip in one of the many rock pools. We will even let you build as many rock towers as you like! Throw an inner tube in the creek and float around while the kids laugh and play all day long. Let the kids dig holes or fossick for the perfect skimming rocks, ride bikes or play endless games on the beautiful landscaped grass. Plenty of trees to put up that hammock or soak in the creek with views overlooking the wilderness. Sit back and gaze at the starlit skies while the kids roast yet another marshmallow on the campfire. Snuggle up during winter and cool down around the rainforest in summer. Abundant wildlife, lots of kangaroos and wallabies, koalas and beautiful birds everywhere.
Please be aware that weekends are family times and do get busy with extra people. During the week it is very quiet and you could have the whole place to yourself. Sites are allocated on weekends based on numbers, if you are in caravans or tents and if you are camping with children.
We have 12 large grassy sites nestled amongst trees located at the higher part of our property. Each site is large and can allow group bookings. Loads of space for tents, camper trailers, caravans or motorhomes. The camping sites are close together however there is loads of areas to set up along the creek during the day.
Pets permitted but must be restrained.

We stayed with our camper van for 3 nights. Great site, well cared for and fully fenced which was perfect for our dogs. Will definitely go again with the family. It did rain solidly for 2 days but because it is so well kept there was no build up of rain excess water. Loved it. Thanks John and Tenille

I camped down in a quiet wooded area to escape the rat race for a couple of days. There were tons of kangaroos and pademelons in the paddock nearby, and the bird life was amazing. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the facilities were spotless. It was great having use of the kitchen especially when it rained.
I felt like I had access to everything I needed.

Lovely little spot! Large flat pad that was secluded from other campsites. We had a ute with rooftop, then a gazebo with tent attachment and there was still heaps of room. You get your own personal entrance to the creek which was very clean and sandy bottom, plus very cold water on a hot day!! As an added bonus, we had absolutely zero mozzys or flies! Pretty unheard of on a farm paddock!

We had an amazing and relaxing weekend here. Gary assigned us a very nice and secluded camping site where we made a fire, enjoyed the creek, took a few good walks, and spent time with our pets.
Thank you very much for your hospitality and for allowing us to spend some time at this wonderful place.

A place to call home is by far one of best places I've ever camped. The place is beautiful with clear water in the river and picturesque surroundings and the hosts Thea and Gary where very welcoming and accommodating. My favourite part was at 5pm when all the campers would meet up around a camp fire and be treated to Gary's great damper as we get to know new people. What a great community they are building and what a great experience we will definitely be back 😀

The caretakers were lively and very accommodating, showing us around the site. This is an extremely beautiful location. Anyone looking for a closeup experience either kangaroos will love it! In the evening kangaroos can be found lounging around the campsite.
The toilet block is meticulously clean and the hot showers were great.
The only caution when booking is that the sites are quite close together. Probably only 20 meters apart. However, the groups on each side were very respectful and no one bothered each other.
And don’t cover that if you’re there on a Friday and Saturday that the “Village Green” is open for pizza’s! As good as can be found anywhere!

Amazing spot with insane views of rolling hills. Easy to find if you follow the straightforward directions(we did so at night with no issue), friendly horse in adjacent paddock, a clean long drop toilet maybe 400m away. Site is alittle slanted, easy to fix with abit of leveling. Fire pit and picnic table. Definitely look at wind warnings Incase. Leacia was only a message away if anything was needed. Will recommend and will be back!

It turned out to be such a romantic camping trip filled with wonderful memories.
It rained heavily starting the day before departure, so I contacted them, and they told me the place wasn’t affected by the weather, so we decided to come anyway.
We arrived on a rainy day and it rained a lot for the next two days. On the day we were supposed to go home, the sun finally came out, so we extended our stay by one more day.
It’s a place that is incredibly beautiful both in the rain and in the sunshine. The restrooms and shower facilities were extremely clean and perfect.
Since we stayed for three nights, it might have been even better if there had been a sink for dishwash, but it was still perfectly fine without one.
We truly had a happy time here.
We will definitely come back again.
