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.

The absolute best! Samantha is an outstanding host and keeps the camp area and toilets clean and tidy. She promptly responds to messages and doesn’t harass you like some other hosts.
Shops etc is only a 5 minute drive away and there’s a bistro/tavern just down the road if you want to grab dinner or a drink. Thank you Sam for being a wonderful host, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

What a fantastic weekend we have just had! The weather was abysmal all weekend however it didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits Our group camp was full of laughter chatting catching up guitar playing singing and generally relaxing. Bushy and Emma are the most fantastic hosts and went over and above to ensure we all were have a wonderful stay at their property. This was our second time out there and certainly won’t be our last. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Hosts Emma and Bushy were wonderful and friendly.
Grounds were amazing with great facilities.
To top it off the D'Ag Pub has a courtesy bus that will do pick up/drop off to the camp grounds.
Can't wait to go back!

We loved our stay at Tappys camping! John was a wonderful host and we had everything we needed. We loved the camp kitchen and hot shower after a big day swimming! We hope to be back again :)

We had a lovely weekend camping and swimming at Bushy's. The toilets were clean, the grassy campsites were well maintained and we made the most of the firepits and picked up a bag of wood. We loved going for a paddle and swim in the lake. It is easy and relaxing and we will be back.

Great camping and really secluded and a beautiful place. Very helpful hosts and responsive.
It is defiantly 4WD only due to the entry to the site which makes it more exclusive.

What a great spot. Was very well maintained. Plenty of room, we even flew our kite. Enjoyed cooking on the plate above the fire. And even has table and chairs under a cover. And had a magical view of the stars. Would recommend to anyone looking for a private spot that's well maintained.

Had an amazing stay, peaceful and private with the whole site to yourself. The facilities were clean and well thought out. Debbie was absolutely lovely, meeting us on arrival and showing us to and around the campsite. Such a beautiful space to spend some relaxing days at. Conveniently close to town if you need anything. Plus with the bike trail so close, bring your bikes for some adventurous fun.

Kids and I enjoyed our stay, nice grassy area to set up our swags and the bush kitchen was a great spot to cook up dinner. Clean and cosy flushing toilet was great too. Would return again for sure.

Easy to access, great vibes from the hosts. enjoyed swimming and kayaking in the lake, and bathroom facilities were decent. I saw a friendly possum scoping out leftover food and many native birds wandering around my site. Everything seemed really well maintained, and there was enough dead branches for kindling and firewood for my two night stay.
The aspects less than ideal for me was hearing the neighbouring property (I think on the far left side of the "Lakeview" side) play loud music in the distance, and their vehicle engine idling for half an hour on Friday night. I also thought the light outside the bathroom building was quite bright and projected light that I could kinda see while in my tent. Good to know where to go but it felt unnecessarily bright.
There were huge flies to battle during the middle of the day, I guess just a good excuse to go for a swim. Something to prepare for though I'm not sure how to deter them - citronella lamps maybe?
I'd still bring my wife here for a future stay - perhaps further away from the bathroom area and other campers.

Bushywood at Woodford is absolutely beautiful! The lake is stunning and perfect for a relaxing day by the water. The facilities are fantastic — the toilets and showers were spotlessly clean, which really made the stay comfortable. Great place to unwind and enjoy nature. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend this spot for a quick, easy and affordable bush getaway so close to Brisbane. It’s probably best suited to families, but we’d happily stay again.
There’s loads to keep kids (and adults) entertained — beach volleyball, a basketball hoop, swings, plus easy access to some MTB trails, the BVRT and the Brisbane River kayaking.
The toilets were a welcome touch of luxury — very clean with soap and hand towels provided. Sam was friendly and extremely responsive to messages, which made the stay even better. Worth noting that if the wind blows from the highway direction, a little traffic noise can be noticeable.
