We stayed at a Hipcamp just outside Hervey Bay and thoroughly enjoyed the calm, secluded setting. The campsite is nestled within a beautifully curated garden, complete with sculptures and a tranquil dam, creating an almost idyllic place to rest and reset.
Kym is a warm and genuinely caring host who has clearly put a lot of thought into the space. It feels welcoming without being intrusive, striking the perfect balance for a hosted stay. The location is ideal, only a short drive to Hervey Bay and perfectly positioned for trips over to K’gari, with shops, fuel and the barge all close by.
A lovely, peaceful stay that showcases exactly why Hipcamp experiences are so special. Highly recommended for those seeking quiet, character and thoughtful hosting.

John and Lyn’s land feels peaceful, spacious, and very well cared for. What really stood out was the quiet natural setting and the sense of privacy—you feel properly immersed in nature rather than in a crowded campground. The hosts are warm, welcoming, and respectful of your space, which makes the stay comfortable and relaxed. It’s a great spot if you’re looking to unwind, enjoy the outdoors, and experience genuine hospitality. Enjoyed a nice hike in the morning.
There are quite a few nice trails for walking, strolling, or hiking.
John gave us a nice tour around the property.
We would love to go there again and spend more than a couple of days next time.
It was the best way to start the new year and I really needed it after working the busiest time of the year.
The best way to recharge and really appreciate the serenity.
Thank you, John.

We had the most beautiful stay at Big Rocks Hip Camp for New Year's Eve. Peaceful, spacious and genuinely special, it’s one of those places that instantly helps you exhale.
The setting is beautiful – quiet and natural so you feel immersed in nature without feeling crowded. It was ideal for our kids, who had space to explore and just be kids, and equally perfect for our dogs, who were very much living their best lives. 🐕🌿
John and Lyn are the kind of hosts that make a great place exceptional – warm, welcoming, incredibly accommodating, and clearly passionate about sharing their little slice of the world. Nothing was too much trouble, and their care and thoughtfulness really showed.
If you’re looking for a calm, family- and dog-friendly escape that feels both restorative and memorable, Big Rocks Hip Camp is an absolute gem. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already planning our return. 💚

Our camping experience was absolutely perfect. Everything was extremely clean, well organised and well maintained. From the moment we arrived, we felt very welcomed and well looked after.
The facilities exceeded our expectations, and the overall atmosphere made the stay even more enjoyable. It truly deserves an 11 out of 10. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great camping experience in Australia.

We enjoyed the friendly atmosphere initiated by John.
Lot's of room for us in the Main Camp.
My 7.7m long Mitsubishi Rosa (bus to motorhome conversion) handled the interesting track in from the main road without any issues at all.
I quite like this park and look forward to future camps there.
