On Gullibal land, Figtree Farm provides captivating vistas of Jalgumbin (Mt Lindesay) to the west and Lever's Plateau, a designated wilderness area of unlogged subtropical rainforest, to the north. This much-loved family-owned farm has a rich history, transitioning from a dairy farm to a beef property. Today, it flourishes with a bio-diverse planting of native trees and a bespoke joinery workshop crafting designer furniture.

Figtree Farm has an abundance of bird and animal life. Here, tranquillity reigns, save for the occasional serenade of our friendly neighbourhood donkeys and the odd rooster.

63km from Burleigh Heads · 10 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Experience Figtree Farm at Findon Creek, a 600-acre natural oasis. Tucked away in a tranquil, secluded valley, this hidden gem is surrounded by Long Creek to the south and Findon Creek to the west, while the northern edge extends to the breathtaking Border Ranges National Park. On Gullibal land, Figtree Farm provides captivating vistas of Jalgumbin (Mt Lindesay) to the west and Lever's Plateau, a designated wilderness area of unlogged subtropical rainforest, to the north. This much-loved family-owned farm has a rich history, transitioning from a dairy farm to a beef property. Today, it flourishes with a bio-diverse planting of native trees and a bespoke joinery workshop crafting designer furniture. While Figtree Farm has been a camping destination for family and friends for many years and now we're happy to extend this welcome to Hipcampers too. As a starting point for this new venture at Findon Creek we offer 3 sites which are all suitable for larger groups; all situated on grassy open spaces beside the creek. In wet conditions you will need a 4WD to access these sites, though the flats themselves are not boggy. Explore the great outdoors by wandering along our extensive bush tracks and trying your hand at fishing in our farm dam stocked with silver perch. Figtree Farm has an abundance of bird and animal life. Here, tranquillity reigns, save for the occasional serenade of our friendly neighbourhood donkeys and the odd rooster. If you wish to wander further afield, Kyogle is a 30 minute drive away. And there is an all weather tennis court (with lights) nearby at Bundgeam Hall. Figtree Farm at Findon Creek promises opportunities for contemplation, relaxation and fun and it is our wish that you will have many happy memories of your visit here.

Where to go

Gold Coast

Burleigh lies at the south end of the Gold Coast, where campers can take their pick of seafront holiday parks and tourist parks. Head to Miami Beach or Broadbeach to swim and surf, paddle around the canal ways of Surfer’s Paradise on a kayak, or cruise out to explore the islands. There’s fun to be had away from the water, too—the Gold Coast is home to five of Australia’s best theme parks.

Gold Coast Hinterlands

Escape to the hinterlands to hike through Heritage-listed rainforest and camp out in the wilderness. A short drive from Burleigh, Springbrook National Park is home to natural wonders, including the Numinbah Valley and the Natural Bridge, where you can spot glow worms after dark. Further afield, head to the Lamington National Park to hike to waterfalls and mountain lookouts, then pitch your tent at backcountry campsites.

North Coast of NSW

South of Burleigh Heads, stop at the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary before crossing the border into New South Wales. A road trip along the Pacific Coast road is the best way to explore—make sure you include the surf towns of Tweed Heads and Byron Bay on your itinerary. There’s camping along the coast, as well as bush camping in the Nightcap National Park.  

When to go

The sun shines year-round along the Gold Coast, but it’s busiest in summer (December through January) and school holidays, so book campsites well in advance during these periods. Camping, outdoor activities, and beach days are possible right through winter and June through October is also whale-watching season along the coast. If you can, plan your visit for one of the Sunday markets, held most weekends throughout the year.  

Know before you go

  • The Gold Coast has an excellent public transport service, but having your own transport is useful for exploring the hinterlands and national parks.
  • Burleigh Heads has a large selection of shops where you can pick up camping gear and stock up on supplies before heading out into the hinterlands.
  • Fire bans are common in Queensland during summer and dry periods, so be sure to check local recommendations.
  • Camping permits are required to camp within Queensland’s national parks and must be reserved in advance.
