Djuan, QLD · 2 sites · Tents, RVsEscape to the quiet countryside at Illcarrie, a 160-acre working farm near Haden in the beautiful Queensland High Country.
If you're looking for a peaceful, off-grid camping experience surrounded by nature, wildlife and wide-open spaces, Illcarrie offers the perfect rural getaway.
Suitable for self-contained campers, tents, caravans and RVs, Illcarrie is an ideal base for birdwatchers, nature lovers and adventurous walkers. Explore the property's bushwalking tracks, discover hidden corners of the landscape and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Australian bush. Keep an eye out for the many bird species that call the property home.
The walking trails are best suited to adventurous guests, with some sections being steep, rocky and slippery underfoot. Sturdy footwear is strongly recommended.
As a working farm, you'll share the landscape with cattle and horses. Dogs are welcome but must be under control at all times, come when called, and remain on a leash around livestock.
Please note that there are no toilets, showers or other amenities on site, so all guests must be fully self-contained. Generators are permitted for short periods of time, with consideration for fellow campers and the peaceful surroundings.
