Such a peaceful, well-maintained gem, everything clean and tidy, super easy to get to with clear directions. The hosts were fantastic with great communication from start to finish. It’s a beautiful little area, but the flat spot is a bit on the small side for a roof top tent plus awning. If you want more room to spread out, the Creek Campsite would be perfect instead. For a ground tent, this one’s spot on. Will definitely be back again for sure!

We loved staying at Riverfront Hobby Farmstay. We travel full time & needed somewhere close to catch up with family and friends & sort out some appointments. We were there for 4 weeks. This place was so quiet and relaxing & so close to everything. The hosts are super helpful and made our time there seem like we were part of the furniture. Will definitely be back.

We really enjoyed this hipcamp and would highly recommend it to other campers. It was easy to find, a short distance to Samford for shopping and eating out, the camp site is beautifully maintained, grassy, flat and close to a delightful flowing creek which is perfect for a swim with both shallow and deeper areas suitable for families. We loved that it was dog friendly, Clair was a great communicator and host. We enjoyed camp fires under the stars with wood delivered to our site and cooked delicious meals with the fruit and veggies Clair had grown on her property. Plenty of space for walks to explore the farm.

Stunning and quiet.
The rules list seems a bit much; but all are normal campground standards, wash&clean up after yourself etc.
FYI: site 7-8-9 are tent sites, so with my rooftop tent a bit on an angle, which isn’t too much of an issue.
Thanks Lisa; I’ll be back if I’m in the area.

Wonderfull. The spacing between campers is very private. The views are spectacular. The open area to the horses seems like the middle of nowhere. Perfect. 👌

Camp Spot 3 is a great flat spot to set up camp on tucked away in the bush. The views of the mountains in the distance make for a good back drop while you’re sitting back at camp, Daniel was a great host to deal with we will definitely be back sometime in the future.

Close to Brisbane. Nice flat ground. Great scenic sunsets. A creek running past the campsite to add to the atmosphere. And very close to Samford for some eating out or groceries. Nice.
