Welcome to Clancy’s on Clarendon, a brand-new farm retreat focused on regenerative farming. Located just 3 km from the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, we are constantly improving so you can relax and enjoy nature.
We offer spacious power and bore water sites for caravans, motorhomes, big rigs, fifth-wheelers, buses, and tents.
The communal fire pit is the perfect place to meet fellow campers, relax, and try your hand at open-fire cooking. For a private experience, you can bring your own fire pit.
Amenities are situated near our residence at the shed, offering hot showers and flushing toilets for your comfort.
We encourage you to bring your own drinking water as we run on bore water. Please be responsible and take all rubbish with you. If you need a dump point, we can point you to local ones.
You can recharge your electric bikes at your site after a day on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail. Nearby attractions include Atkinsons Dam, just a 5-minute drive away, and Wivenhoe Dam, only 10 minutes away. There’s plenty to explore and enjoy during your stay, so why not bring your boat?
Your review after your stay will help us improve and give future campers an idea of what to expect.

We are a short walk or drive from NASH Horse Treking for those who want to do a pub lunch ride on a horse. It is a fantastic experience so Google them to book. We are a very short 900m bicycle ride from the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (BRVT) which is one of the must-do cycle treks in the southern hemisphere. If you or your crew need a place to stay while riding the trail then this is perfect for you.
The town of Esk and two major dams are very close by where you can browse the antique shops, waterski, or fish to your heart's content.
We are also close to Fernvale where there are big Sunday Markets.

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.

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

Gina is an incredible host! Before we booked, we contacted Gina about her property, and before we arrived to. Excellent response from Gina!
We had two incredible nights, the creek was lovely. Our border collie had a blast!!
The road is close, but it doesn’t affect the experience!
We will be back!

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed camping at Gums at the Billabong site at Sandy Creek. It was stunning scenery and we got to see some beautiful bird life. The outside bath was amazing under the stars. There is ample space and this particular site is very private, which we love.
I have already recommended this site to many others.
Thanks very much to Cameron and Christina for the excellent communication and respectful approach.
We particularly enjoyed getting to see the jets flying over, doing practice formation from Amberley Base, this was an extremely exciting surprise. They definitely were not intrusive and not early in the morning so it was very exciting during the day.
