Back again. After Staying at Dead Tree Alley, we said we'd be back. This time we stayed at Sunset Ridge, and it lived up to its name. The views were beautiful. Each meal we chose a different view to take in. We enjoyed the privacy, the local wildlife and of course all the animals that were up for scratches. The ease, views, animals and general atmosphere bring us back. It's also quite handy that despite feeling disconnected, local shops are only 8mins away in case you forget something.. ..like toilet paper😅

Such an incredible spot for a family getaway, and so close to the Gold Coast! The entire property is beautifully maintained, and the host family are absolutely lovely. The animals and the opportunity for the kids to interact with them were definitely a highlight of our stay. Having access to a shower and toilet was an added bonus. We had such a great time and will definitely be back!

We had 2 fantastic nights camping on Mountain View site, especially our own hot shower! Easy access to Yabba creek for a paddle and a swim. Lots of room to enjoy the Yabba Creek sights and sounds. The facilities are great and well maintained, just the place to escape to.
Our hosts are awesome, made us feel very welcome with plenty of tips on how to get the best out of our stay - will definitely be coming back :)

We went with other 5 families, Kids all had fun, they all loved the animals! But haven't rain for a while, when we went to 2 creeks, just still water, and the 1 of the creek was narrow, that was the only part that we felt disappointed, but it wasn't host's fault, just the weather. Overall, we had good time.

Guy was such a lovely and friendly host. We had a great time staying here, and the kids absolutely loved the farm animals! They had so much fun seeing and interacting with them, which made the stay really special for our family. We really enjoyed the relaxed farm atmosphere and would happily stay here again. Thanks so much, Guy!

Another awesome stay at YCF, such a family friendly spot. Jacks shack is an awesome full sun site for keeping your solar cranking, good to have the shack for some shade during the day too! The view is beautiful and it's close to the toilets which is a bonus!

Gorgeous little spot perfect for a getaway. It’s right next to the creek where the kayaks are located and pretty well shaded in the afternoon. The grass was freshly cut upon our arrival and is well maintained. Is definitely worth booking during the camping off season not during school holidays when there are more bookings above the hill. Extremely well kept amenities which are always clean with hot water and fully stocked. Gorgeous animals which can you can feed with the animal food available for purchase at the campsite.
