Welcome to my Hipcamp!
Beautiful camping area situated next to the Elliott River. 10 minutes drive to Coonarr Beach, Coonarr Wildflowers and Kinkuna National Park. Amazing Stargazing!
Just a kilometer up the road from our site, you'll find a charming Dog Motel.
Please keep in mind that the noise from the dog motel isn't a nightly occurrence, making it difficult to predict specific nights when it may be more active. However I've noticed that campers in caravans generally have a more insulated experience and are less affected by any early morning barking.
If you prefer a quieter spot, I make it a priority to assign campers the farthest firepit, Camp 4, nestled deep in the bush, providing you with a peaceful retreat away from any noise.
Additionally I'm delighted to offer electricity to all camps, ensuring your comfort and convenience during your stay. Whether you choose a campsite closer to the amenities or opt for the tranquility of Camp 4, rest assured that you'll have access to electricity.
While the dog motel may occasionally add a touch of canine charm to the soundscape, I'm confident that the overall experience at my Hipcamp will be an enjoyable one.
Come join me amidst the beauty of nature and let the peaceful surroundings outweigh any sporadic noises from our furry friends. Campsites can be 30m from amenities (toilet & shower). Dog friendly. Drinking water & camp kitchen available.
Kangaroo are
known to feed on the grass in this campsite.
Perfect base for a visit to Bundaberg or an east coast trip. Great for a bigger group with different spaces and communal area.

Bullyard Hall, Sports & Recreation Club Inc.

30km from Bundaberg · 40 sites · Tents, RVs
The town of Bullyard was developed primarily as a cane farming district in the late nineteenth century. The name, however, apparently relates to when a drover named CHARLES HOLMES was transporting bulls between Walla and Tantitha stations and he constructed a temporary yard for the bulls, hence "Bullyard". A railway station, called Kolan Railway Station, was erected in 1881 (on the Bundaberg-Mount Perry railway line, completed in 1884) and timber from the surrounding area was loaded onto trains there. Closer settlement, however, appears to have occurred somewhat later. A provisional school was established in 1901. Then becoming a state school in 1909 (and a new school built in 1933), reflecting a small, but growing population at this time. The district was dominated by cane farms supplying the nearby Bingera Sugar Mill. Bullyard Hall was built in 1908 by Samuel Kent on 10 acres of land purchased for that purpose. The hall was connected to electricity in 1952 and the hall was extended in 1957 with a bigger dance floor. Other additions included a stage, kitchen and ladies' room. The hall was repainted in the 1960s, with the exterior painted with linseed oil and burnt umber (giving the hall its distinctive appearance).The hall was, like other local public halls, used for social events such as dances. Movies were shown at the hall from the 1920s and it was also used for church services. Newspaper references from the 1930s through to the 1950s indicate the hall being used as a venue to sign up workers for the local cane crushing season.The hall grounds were also used for a range of sporting events. There are references to athletics competitions held at Bullyard from 1911 and the track was improved in 1913. A tennis club was formed in 1928 and tennis courts were constructed using crushed ant bed. Cricket was popular, so much so that the Cricket Club merged with the Hall Committee in 1930. Bullyard hosted cricket matches against local teams including Wallaville, Albionville, Gin Gin, Bucca and Bundaberg and the pitch was also constructed from ant bed, similar to the tennis courts.Bullyard Hall is located in the south-western corner of a 4 hectare reserve that in turn is located in the northern part of town on the eastern side of Bucca Road. A mostly circular fenced sports ground extends from the hall to the north and east. Most of the fenced, predominantly levelled grassed site has been cleared, some remaining scrub vegetation exists in the north and northeast and on the boundaries and it appears that the ring of trees on the perimeter of the sports ground have been deliberately planted.The hall consists of a low set weatherboard clad timber structure on timber stumps with a slight variation in height to level out the site and features a corrugated iron clad gable roof. An annex with skillion roof is attached on both sides of the main building. The main entrance is from the front via some steps onto a landing covered by a gable roof and through double timber doors. There are two casement windows on the façade, one at the main building covered by a straight window hood and a second at the right annex. The northern elevation facing the sports ground features a side entrance with access via some steps and three casement windows. On the southern elevation is another door flanked by two casement windows. A third annex, also with skillion roof, is attached at the rear of the hall. Three doors covered by an awning lead into this section. 1 large water tank is located towards the southern corner.A number of ancillary buildings are located in the vicinity of the hall, including a corrugated iron clad toilet block, stalls consisting of timber (including bush timber posts) and corrugated iron and a loading ramp.Men from Bullyard made a significant contribution to World War 1, indicated by the Honour Roll located inside the hall. In 2020 a water bore was placed on the grounds and in 2021 the hall had solar power installed, electricity wiring replaced, new meter box and sub box installed, refurbished glass windows, irrigation put in, 2 new water tanks and pumps purchased, smoke and heat detectors installed, security and spot lights installed.There are markets held monthly and fundraising events held throughout the year such as dances, bingo, car rally, a Halloween party to name a few.

We had a great couple of days staying so Steven and Sandra's little farm.
The chickens were really cute and the kids absolutely loved the added bonus of the games room.
It may be a part of their property but they always gave us space and were always there when we had anything to ask.

Honestly was the best week away we have had as a family. Brother in law loved the fishing so did my son. My neices and nephew were paddle boarding and wasn't far to Bundaberg.

We loved our time at Bucca Country River Retreat. There was plenty of lovely green open space, the river was there for swims and a fish and the pub was just down the road! It was a peaceful and relaxing stay with lots of birds and stars.

Great spot to stop for a few days. We were only there for the night but would have stayed longer if we had the time. River access is quite limited from the bank other than the boat ramp area although you can get out the front of the mangroves on a lower tide for some good fishing. Lots of places to set up camp with fire pits and water. Great toilet and shower facility is a major plus. Awesome spot to kick a ball or play some cricket with lots of open space. Only real downside was the amount of midgies and mozzies which can’t be helped. Would recommend this place for anyone looking at staying in the region.

A Beautiful Location.
Very well maintained property, lush green grassy site very close to Amenities that were very clean and well maintained.
The Best part, a 1 minute stroll down to the riverbanks for a swim. Great location for swimming, kayaking, paddle board and swims for the pooch.
All in all a great spot for 2 nights or even a week.
Thanks Sarah for sharing.
We would love to come again and again.

We loved our stay at VietJess’s Farm! With beautiful scenery and the cutest farm animals that our daughter loved. Very kid friendly, with a park, canoes, animals and dam to swim in.
Definitely will be back again!

We had a fantastic stay at Annette’s farm! The property is super peaceful and relaxing, yet still close enough to Bundaberg for anything you might need.
The hut and toilet right next to the campsite made things really convenient—especially since we were travelling with kids. It made the whole experience much more comfortable.
The horses were a lovely bonus and a highlight for the kids, and we really enjoyed going for a morning walk around the property.
Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quiet and family-friendly camping experience. We’d happily stay again!

Peter was just amazing. He met me at the gate explained everything. As a female solo traveller he was very reassuring.
Most amazing sunrise
Definitely take bug spray as there were a few bugs biting.
Neat and clean toilet and shower facilities. The well maintained property was perfect for my pups.

We had the most amazing stay at Sarah and Ron’s Hipcamp! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The spot on the river is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful.
The kids had the best time fishing and kayaking and didn’t want to leave. It was the perfect place to switch off, relax and just enjoy nature.
We would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. We will definitely be back!

Splitters farm has to be one of the best things about Bundaberg! This was our second visit to Splitters and it really is a family favourite. So much for the kids to do all while being a relaxing getaway for parents. Facilities are immaculate! Staff are friendly! Highly recommend

I loved the space between camps. We were not on top of one another. So you could really relax and unwind. It is nice to be able to interact with the animals too.

I camped at Kolan river retreat for the Easter holiday and I had such an amazing time there. The place is lovely, big spacious, and clean. This place is lovely if you have children’s who loves running around, I would go back again and bring more people. The view was amazing but during the day time it gets pretty windy so make sure ur covers are well secured. Thank you for having us camp here.

We loved our stay with Jess. She is the friendliest and most accommodating host, going out of her way to ensure the kids and adults all had a great time. The dam kept the kids entertained most of the weekend and the animals were very loved! Highly recommend the cooking class also. We will certainly be back :)
