We are thrilled to welcome guests to our farm, home to our gorgeous Scottish Highland cattle—or as the Scottish say, "HeiIen Coos"! These majestic creatures are a joy to watch, whether they are doing zoomies across the yard, soaking in the dam, or lazily chilling under a shady tree. Follow our journey and stay updated on Facebook: The new Gumtree Dam Highlands page. Just by booking a patch of grass—you're securing front-row seats to live alongside our magnificent Scottish Highland cattle in a peaceful, spacious setting. Your pets are very welcome! We have three friendly, working dogs on the property: Jesse, Cane, and Chevy. Cane is a Maremma—an ancient Italian livestock guardian breed—who watches over the farm at night. And Chevy is learning the ropes. Protecting our animals is their job, and they take it very seriously; when Cane alerts to wild dogs or foxes, the others will sometimes join in barking to back him up. Along with the usual sounds of country life, it’s all part of the authentic working farm experience! Relax, Unwind & Connect with Nature Put on some music and enjoy a few drinks by the campfire, sink into a good book, or take a peaceful bushwalk accompanied by the laugh of kookaburras. Keep an eye out for sea eagles, pelicans, wild budgies, and rainbow lorikeets. We want our farm to be a sanctuary where both our animals and guests feel safe and relaxed, so while relaxing vibes are encouraged, we do not accommodate noisy parties. All your cares will feel a million miles away—we guarantee an amazing experience! Just 6 km away in historic Childers, you'll find a Woolworths, IGA, great lunch pubs, cafes, bakeries, a swimming pool, historical museum, and Snakes Down Under Reptile Park. Beautiful Woodgate Beach is also just a short 25-minute drive away. We have firewood and gift shop, please bring cash. To keep our animals calm, please move gently around all livestock. Kids are welcome to bring bikes, we also have some they can borrow but must be supervised at all times with no running or screaming near the cattle. Times: Check-in is after 1:00 PM, and check-out is strictly by 11 AM.

5 nights at Woodlands Farmstay and Glamping

We had a great few days at Woodlands Farmstay. Our kids spent most of their time bike riding and playing on the playground with the other campers and we more than happy to spend most of their time doing so! The campsite area set up well for families and has all the necessities you need to relax. Both Sharon and Vincent were helpful and very friendly. It was a great spot to stay and we are keen to return in the future!

Burrum Heads camping guide

Where to go

Bundaberg region

North of Burrum Heads, Bundaberg is best known as the home of iconic Aussie beverages—Bundaberg Rum and Bundaberg Ginger Beer. Factory and distillery tours are a must-do for visitors, after which you can head to coastal Bargara to camp by the beach, spot turtles at Mon Repos Conservation Park, or cruise out to snorkel and scuba dive along the southern Great Barrier Reef. For the ultimate adventure, how about bush camping on Lady Musgrave Island?

Fraser Coast

Burrum Heads sits on the northern edge of the Fraser Coast, where highlights include whale-watching in Hervey Bay, the heritage town of Maryborough, and the Urangan Pier near Torquay. Further south, Fraser Island is the headline act of the Great Sandy National Park, but the mainland Cooloola area has tent and caravan campsites, and is the starting point of the Great Beach Drive from Rainbow Beach to Noosa Heads.

Fraser Island

Blanketed with sandy beaches, sweeping dunes, and dense rainforest, the natural beauty of Fraser Island has put it firmly on the map for adventurers. Explore scenic 4WD trails, admire natural wonders such as the Champagne Pools and the Pinnacles, or swim and kayak at Lake McKenzie. Campers can take their pick of unpowered sites along 75 Mile Beach—you can even pitch a tent right on the sand.

When to go

Year-round sunshine and great fishing make Burrum Heads a four-season destination, but the summer months are the most popular. It’s worth timing your trip to fit with seasonal activities and wildlife-watching opportunities. November through March is the time for turtle-watching and bird-watching, while August through October is whale-watching season and has cooler weather ideal for hiking.
