The Cooke Family welcomes you to “Hopevale”. A beautiful 113 acre property bordered by Wrattens National Park at the edge of the world in the peaceful Widgee district of greater Gympie. Jason, a landscaper by trade, and Jacinta a teacher by profession, met many years ago at a national Christian youth conference. Four beautiful children later and many years down the track, they bought Hopevale as a blank cattle fattening property in 2018. After much hard work, they have made it what it is today, with plans to continually improve.
We have different camp options available, one of which is set up for those guests also wanting to stay with horses or just have a larger group booking.
Guests will have access to a toilet and shower throughout their stay which is within walking distance from each of the campsites. Campfires and pets are welcome.
The property has only had 4 farming owners in its 110 odd years since it was first surveyed and selected in 1915. The Hillcoats, Bishops, Cotters, and now the Cooke’s. The families over the years have used the property for timber getting, dairy, beef and small cropping.
The property is geologically rich with volcanic soils, sandstone escarpments full of caves and overhangs. The mighty Wrattens Falls sits to the back of the property in the National Park and is a sight to behold in full flow. It feeds the head waters of the western branch of Widgee Creek which meanders through the property.
The subtropical dry rainforest clad mountains are dominated by the majestic
Bunya and Hoop pines and are a testament to what once was covering the entire property before being cleared for farming. Remnant riparian creek lines are botanically rich and diverse holding Red and White Cedar, Teak, Silky oak and many other coveted timber trees harvested back in the day.
There are many species of animals and birds that call Hopevale home. From water dragons, frogs and fish in the creeks, monitors, wallabies, deer, koalas, possums and phascogales in the eucalypts. Red-back wrens, pardalotes, rainbow bee-eaters, finches and quail call the open grasses home while whip birds give their iconic call in the forest. Above, birds of prey ride the thermals of the valley looking for their next meal.
“We have been blessed beyond measure with a small slice of God’s wonderful creation that we would love to share with you.”

The Cooke Family welcomes you to “Hopevale”. A beautiful 113 acre property bordered by Wrattens National Park at the edge of the world in the peaceful Widgee district of greater Gympie. Jason, a landscaper by trade, and Jacinta a teacher by profession, met many years ago at a national Christian youth conference. Four beautiful children later and many years down the track, they bought Hopevale as a blank cattle fattening property in 2018. After much hard work, they have made it what it is today, with plans to continually improve.
We have different camp options available, one of which is set up for those guests also wanting to stay with horses or just have a larger group booking.
Guests will have access to a toilet and shower throughout their stay which is within walking distance from each of the campsites. Campfires and pets are welcome.
The property has only had 4 farming owners in its 110 odd years since it was first surveyed and selected in 1915. The Hillcoats, Bishops, Cotters, and now the Cooke’s. The families over the years have used the property for timber getting, dairy, beef and small cropping.
The property is geologically rich with volcanic soils, sandstone escarpments full of caves and overhangs. The mighty Wrattens Falls sits to the back of the property in the National Park and is a sight to behold in full flow. It feeds the head waters of the western branch of Widgee Creek which meanders through the property.
The subtropical dry rainforest clad mountains are dominated by the majestic
Bunya and Hoop pines and are a testament to what once was covering the entire property before being cleared for farming. Remnant riparian creek lines are botanically rich and diverse holding Red and White Cedar, Teak, Silky oak and many other coveted timber trees harvested back in the day.
There are many species of animals and birds that call Hopevale home. From water dragons, frogs and fish in the creeks, monitors, wallabies, deer, koalas, possums and phascogales in the eucalypts. Red-back wrens, pardalotes, rainbow bee-eaters, finches and quail call the open grasses home while whip birds give their iconic call in the forest. Above, birds of prey ride the thermals of the valley looking for their next meal.
“We have been blessed beyond measure with a small slice of God’s wonderful creation that we would love to share with you.”

Nestled in the quiet beauty of Glen Echo, "Rosehill" has been a cherished part of the Ross Family since 1958. Tucked away along the picturesque Munna Creek, our farmstay is a tranquil escape just 40 minutes south of Maryborough, 35mins north of Gympie and a scenic 2.5-hour drive from Brisbane. Finding us is easy - from Tiaro/Gympie via the Woolooga/Bauple road, just 5 minutes off into Glen Echo.
At "Rosehill," we offer a variety of camping experiences on our semi-private campsites without amenities. We do have a Bush Shower/Toilet at the homestead that you're welcome to come and use. Bring your pushbikes and explore the closest National Trail (section 5)
Whether you're seeking solitude or planning a group event, we have options to suit your needs. Looking for a unique venue for your special day? Consider "Rosehill" for a fully catered farm wedding experience or reserve one of our locations for complete privacy.
Our farm is not just a getaway; it's a sustainable oasis. Powered by solar energy, we proudly operate as a fully standalone powered farm. Our commitment to sustainability extends to our agricultural practices - we utilize solar energy to pump water for our livestock and irrigate our pastures. Speaking of livestock, "Rosehill" is also home to RottyHill rottweilers, where we've been successfully breeding natural-born bobtail and tailed dogs for over 20 years.
Discover the hidden gem of "Rosehill" amidst the hustle and bustle of modern life. We can't wait to welcome you to our slice of paradise!

What a great spot to camp!
The dam was awesome for swimming.
Top toilet facilities, very clean, follow dunny instructions regarding what NOT to flush.
Ordered firewood when booking, was there waiting for us. Plenty of bird life morning and evening to enjoy. Easy to find, instructions were simple. Great hosts. Our third time staying and we'll be back again.

Jason's place was spectacular. It has the beauty of the surrounding area one would expect off grid (small mountain, bush, creek and lots of spaces. It would have been perfect had water is flowing on the creek. Jason did advice us prior, so issue to us
Lastly, the amenities are kept cleaned and we'll maintained. Highly recommended.

A wonderful weekend camping with friends at Busywoods. Lots of room didn’t feel like I was on top of other campers. The dam was lovely to go for a paddle on the free kayaks and for a swim. The amount of beautiful milkway stars are night were amazing. Will be back for sure

Bushywood is a excellent hipcamp. Bushy was so welcoming and assisted with anything we required. The sites are very well maintained, and the toilet blocks very clean.
There is enough room to spread out and not feel like campers are on top of each other.
The lake is beautiful with complimentary kayaks for use. We had a great time and will definitely be back.

Needed a place to try out my camper and this spot fit the bill. Just a one - nighter, chilling amongst the trees and reading till sundown. The small lake is picture perfect, the surrounds are peaceful with clean and handy amenities. I was tucked right down behind the lake, well amongst the trees, in David Austin.
Be prepared for mozzies at the usual time. I had sandalwood coils burning around the camp and some bushman's repellant which worked a charm.
Andrew is a super nice bloke, made everything easy start to end. Looking forward to returning if my travels take me that way again.

The simple fact that I chose this place was the free roaming animals. That was 10/10. Also having dispersed camping is a must in my book.

Beautiful spot with views on both sides. It was peaceful, clean, flat and the wildlife was friendly. Pack bug spray and set up lighting away from caravan door. We will most definitely be back. What I loved most was that it wasn't overcrowded.
