48km from Deception Bay · 11 sites · Tents, RVs
'Weefarm' is situated on a picturesque bend of the Brisbane River near Fernvale and is accessible by 4WD only. Kids are free to 17 so if you have children between 12-17, please include them in the "children" booking.
We provide an exclusive booking for you on absolute river frontage for tents and camper trailers.
Spend your time swimming, fishing, canoeing or simply sipping a cold drink on the pontoon under the umbrella. With an easterly aspect you’ll want to spend the morning swimming or exploring the riverscape and when the afternoon shade sets in light the campfire and put your feet up.
Please note... our campsite has been ongoing since 2017 and campers have kindly shared their many happy memories. Over the years, things change. Please take the photos lightly.
There is no vehicular boat ramp but still excellent access for other small watercraft. Due to the steep track to the camp area we insist on 4WD’s only - though you can walk down if feeling energetic!
Please bring drinking water and a desire to leave the riverside just as you found it. We have enough room for around 20 people in tents or camper trailers.
Portaloo toilet available at the campsite.
Campfires are permitted in the circle but please be mindful of any restrictions. You can purchase firewood from us if needed.
Dogs are also welcome but must stay with you at all times. Please let us know they are coming as well.

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.

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.

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.

Really well set out campsite - a large covered area with a gravel floor and a table and chairs (a hammock fits beautifully between the posts), a big social firepit, and a separate cooking firepit (fabulous!), and don't get me started on that hot tub...
