1 night at Echoes in the Valley Gatton Qld

My partner and I loved camping at Echoes in the Valley! The property provided amazing views from every angle. We were allowed to drive along the tracks which displayed more breath taking scenery the property provided. Francine and her lovely staff made the stay relaxing and free of worry. My partner and I enjoyed the night under the stars by a campfire roasting marshmallows. You can opt in for additional activities the site provides such as camel feeding. We went during breakfast and was definitely an experience you can’t pass. Would definitely recommend this place to those that are wanting to escape from the city for a night and explore the surrounding exhibits.

Weekend Trip to Red Cedar Valley

This property is awesome. 2 families with 4 kids under 7. With no other campers in sight, The kids just roamed all day adventuring through the creeks and paddocks. No reception meant that adults were not tempted to pick up the phone that made 3.5 days feel like a week off work. Big thanks to Ryan. We have a 4WD (with stock tyres) and Jayco outback pop-top camper and we struggled to get up a couple of the hills on the property. This was due to a lot of rain the days before hand and the track being slippery. We ended up getting stuck on one of the hills. As friends of ours went to ask Ryan for a tow, we noticed I had punctured a tyre in one of the creeks crossing to get there. Now we were stuck on a hill, with a heavy camper trailer and needing to change a tyre. As I chocked all the wheels to stop the ute slipping, Ryan was straight under there in 6inches of mud placing the jack in position and started replacing the tyre. After replacing the tyre, he hooked up the snatch strap and towed us up the top towards our site. Ryan will be receiving a carton of beer from me next time we head out, hopefully with better tyres and a little less mud on the tracks.

Weekend Trip to Red Cedar Valley

We spent a couple of nights at Native Lime Camp and had a really enjoyable time. The kids loved the creek and the cows and the mud and Ryan was very friendly and welcoming. Toilets and showers were clean and a short walk away. Plenty of space to roam and very private.

Bush camping with breathtaking valley view. Perfect for adventurers who prefer nature over glamping.

Weekend Trip to Red Cedar Valley

Really lovely, lush and private property. Well kept is an understatement. Everything that was promised in the ad and more. We found heaps of natives like Illawarra plums, native lime trees and mushrooms galore. Creek running through was where we spent most our time. Thanks for having us. Appreciate it!!!!

Weekend Trip to Gypsy Cabin

My partner and I had a great time staying at Gypsy Cabin. We stayed during the Easter long weekend and the weather was perfect. Not too hot and cold enough to enjoy the huge firepit. The cabin felt private enough from the owner's property with the surrounding trees and wide land. The animals were friendly and approachable (especially when being fed). The host Juliette was great at communicating and she left us some firewood, animal feed and Easter eggs to enhance our stay. The bed was very comfortable and we had everything we neefed to enjoy our stay. Would love to come back.

Weekend Trip to Echoes in the Valley Gatton Qld

As I wondered where to go this Easter, “Echoes in the Valley” caught my eye. It was our family's first time camping on an Australian farm, and since we were going to spend a night out in the wild on our own, we felt both excited and a little nervous. When we met Francie, she gave us a warm welcome and instantly made us feel at ease. She kindly showed us three different camping spots, and we chose the last one—it was our favourite. I really appreciated her patience and guidance. Before sunset, Francie brought us firewood and even taught me how to start a fire. She left a lighter with us so we could light the fire whenever we wanted. (By the way, I forgot to return the lighter—my apologies!) The firewood was a great value—just $20—and it kept the fire going from 6 p.m. to midnight. I truly enjoyed it, not just for its warmth and light, but also for the pleasant scent of the wood. I’m not sure what type it was, but it smelled wonderful. The view from the hill was beautiful. Although the bathrooms were located down the hill, the distance from our campsite was manageable, which worked out fine for us. We had a lovely time. Wildflowers were blooming everywhere on the hillside in shades of yellow and red. When morning came, we stepped out of our tent for a short hike around the area before heading home. It was a peaceful and refreshing way to end our stay. Also, a big thanks for the dragon fruit and limes—they were a lovely treat!

1 night at Quails Ridge Farm Stay

This was a great hipcamp. It would have been nicer to have had the time to stay longer. Karen was very helpful. The shower was great and just what we needed after a long drive. Thanks for the stay.

2 nights at Moogerah Lakeside Bush Retreat

Weekend Trip to Quails Ridge Farm Stay

I loved staying At Quails Ridge Farm Stay. It was perfect for our two kids as there is a playground, cubby house and pool. So much to do! And we went for a walk. We will definitely be going back!

2 nights at Quails Ridge Farm Stay

Karen and Nick are great hosts and went out of their way to ensure we had a comfortable stay during what was very wet weather by offering the use of an indoor shower and toilet in one of the vacant cabins which we greatly appreciated. The property is located in a central location to many of the great walks and views in the region. We would certainly recommend it as an ideal location to camp and explore the region.

Great experience - checkin was super easy, the spot is beautiful and the facilities are perfect for the setup. The ability to have a swim in the lake was a godsend on an unseasonably steamy day!

Thankyou so much Karen for your warm welcome and your lovely camping spot. We enjoyed being able to have a fire and to have plenty of space. We hiked Mt Ngungun the next day and had a fabulous time away.

Cabins near Brisbane guide

Overview

Riverside Brisbane, Australia's only sub-tropical capital city, is also one of the country's sunniest, with an average eight hours of sunshine each day. With weather this kind, you know camping is going to be fun, whether you're chasing the waves on the beach, heading up into the hills for some cool rainforest respite, or hanging offshore at one of the sand islands in Moreton Bay for some wild, off-road adventures. A highlight of any trip will be meeting the wildlife—you can hand feed wild dolphins on Moreton Island, camp with koalas on North Stradbroke, and walk with birds in the rainforest.

Where to go

Gold Coast Hinterland

A world away from the beaches and glitzy high rises of the Gold Coast, the lush hinterland is the green behind the gold. Lace up your hiking boots and hit the bushwalking trails in the World Heritage-listed rainforest of Lamington National Park and Tamborine Mountain.

The Scenic Rim

The mountainous backdrop to Brisbane is a largely untouched swathe of bushland and rainforest that belies the notion that a bustling metropolis is just a stone's throw away. A short drive through Mount Nebo and Mount Glorious along the Northbrook Parkway to the country towns of Kilcoy and Woodford takes you into a rugged wilderness with state forest and national park camping sites.

North Stradbroke Island

Keep your eyes on the trees if you're camping on "Straddie"—they're full of koalas. Opt for a luxe campsite or glamping at a beachside caravan park. Or, if you have 4WD, hit the sand to experience the dunes and the beach.

Moreton Island

The Brisbane River empties into the sea in Moreton Bay, a short ferry ride from the Brisbane CBD. Moreton Island, one of the largest sand islands in the world, is 38 kilometres long and 98% national park land. Five campgrounds and four bush camping areas sit along the beach, with almost every campsite offering a stunning water view.

When to go

It's warm enough for short sleeves and swimming almost all year in Brisbane, although the mountain ranges tend to be a little cooler than the coast. Summer can be wet and stormy, and it rains a lot in the rainforest, so bring wet weather gear. Straddie is a popular spot with locals, so you'll need to book ahead during summer holidays.

Know before you go

If you’re towing a caravan or driving a large motorhome, be aware that some of the steep, narrow roads around Nerang and Canungra and in Lamington National Park are unsuitable for larger trailers.
All roads on Moreton Island are 4WD only, and all vehicles must have an access permit obtained from the state government.
Check the tide charts before driving on the beaches of North Stradbroke or Moreton Island, as the road tends to disappear as the tide rises.
Stradbroke Island ferries depart from Cleveland, while Moreton Island ferries leave from the Port of Brisbane.
