4. Vander Farm

45km from Carindale · 4 sites · Tents, RVs · Brisbane, QLD

Tucked away on a small hobby farm backing directly onto Sheep Station Conservation Park, this is a peaceful, down-to-earth spot for guests who enjoy nature just as it is. You’ll be sharing the property with a handful of characterful residents — four sheep, a friendly alpaca, three silky chickens, two cheeky geese, and a very elderly Muscovy duck — plus our three young boys, who bring plenty of life and laughter to the place. This is a simple, relaxed farm stay with a rustic feel — a little scruffy around the edges and refreshingly free of bells and whistles. It’s a great place to slow down, enjoy the outlook, and soak up the natural surroundings. Pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash at all times due to the animals and surrounding conservation area. Guests must be fully self-contained and bring their own toilet. A fire pit is available for your use, with firewood provided, making it a lovely spot to unwind in the evenings. Please note that the dam is more for scenery than swimming.

We enjoyed the serenity and even though it was a bit of a drive into Maroochydore each day, it meant that we had security for our Camper Trailer and we had the place to ourselves.

Lakeview Is everything we thought it would be and more . The camp kitchen house is amazing and just bring your camp stove and you are set . The views over the dam are sensational. Plenty of room to set up and we took the whole camp and with 11 ladies each with tents and campers we had plenty of room to spread out. Recommend taking your kayak or paddle board and heading out early in the morning to explore the dam. Take some bait and try your luck with red claw using the pots onsite . We loved every minute of our stay and will be back

We had the open grassy spot next to the shipping containers which was perfect for the wind and the view. The grass was lovely and the fire pit in a good spot. The site is not flat so need leveling ramps etc.

Sensational views of Mount Coonowrin (Crockneck). There are two campsites to choose from, one on the level gravel pad by the shed. The other is on lush mown grass, but is rather sloping. Both have a fire pit and are suitable for solar charging. Easy access from the road. Although not total isolation, the residences above the campsites are a good distance away. Perfect position to explore the beautiful surrounding area.

Very enjoyable weekend and a great location. Excellent amenities. It is far enough away from the crowds but only 30mins to Esk. Would certainly consider revisiting at a future date.
