We do have plenty of firewood available although if it’s been raining it will be best to BYO wood. We have a communal fire pit you can use (please don't camp on the grass near the fire pit).
We kindly ask all campers to be 100% self-sufficient as we do not have any waste, water, or power facilities. You carry it in you carry it out.
Our site is 2WD friendly although once again if it's been raining it's best to stick to the gravel roads. Please message me if you have any questions!
To keep us all safe, we have some VERY IMPORTANT notes:
Please stay on the gravel roads - there are deep holes and drains hidden by long grass on neighbouring blocks. These can cause damage to vehicles and you will need a tow truck to be recovered.

Perfect spot for me and my big old dog. Had lots of cool dips in the creek and enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed the open spaces, the views, kangaroos and the serenity . It was nice to meet Mel and have a chat. We were the only ones camping at Skippy Trails on the night we stayed but there is plenty of space at all 8 camp sites. The camp was handy for us to drop our caravan off in Caloundra for a service. Only 20 mins from Caloundra. We will be back again to stay when we want to explore the Sunny coast.
Thank you very much Lidiana and Mel .

This was my second visit and it hit every one of my expectations with ease. We love this place! Close to Brisbane, but still heaps of fun. Woodford is nice and close and really convenient too.

Great spot. Good old fashioned camp ground with huge lake to swim/play in, and free canoes left out for everyone. Everyone had great space to themselves. The owners were lovely and relaxed, and just keen for everyone to get out into nature and have a good time camping. Really warm welcome on arrival. Will definitely be back.

Plenty of shady private sites to choose from and given the option to pick the one we liked. Swimming available in dam and kayaks provide. Hot showers are a great facility. Bushy's recommendations for things to do in the area were excellent.

The property was well looked after and every site had plenty of room.
We stayed one night on one site and then relocated to another area of the property which was amazing.
The facilities were very well kept.
