Perfect place for a family getaway. The horses were incredibly friendly and gentle, just like dogs, which was a big highlight. The views were beautiful, the breeze was lovely, and the toilets were clean and well maintained. Everything was comfortable and we truly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended for families — we would love to come back again.

Awesome place. Quiet and relaxing, not far from shops and beach. Hosts are very responsive and accommodating, and also respect your privacy. Sites are private and have enough room to think you're there on your own. Highly recommend.

A simple quiet and friendly spot, very clean bathroom and showers, clean bbqs and well spaced parks. The owner was very kind and the ppl who stay there were lovely too. My kids had a ball just being in nature, running around in the fresh air creating their own fun.

Absolutely lovely spot right next to the dam. Light breeze most days. Space between campers. Maintained by wonderful hosts who weren't intrusive but did come down to check on us on occasion (we were here in the big supercell storm!) Couple of things to point out to future campers. Is there some machinery and stuff on the property like said in another review, yes. Does it effect your view and experience, NO. This is a working property, not a holiday resort. All equipment is with the owners main house and nowhere near the campsites. And also, bring mozzie spray. Like anywhere near water after dark the mozzies do come out as they always do. It also shares a fence with another hipcamp property next door so there are other ppl around but I don't think it effects your stay as everyone on both sides are respectful of their surroundings. All in all I think this was a gem to discover and we will definitely be booking again. Thanks Mitch n Hollie for their lovely hospitality n opening their home to us all.

Having some experience now with off-grid camping, the Magic Pond is value for the price you pay. The camping spot is nice, easy to access and big enough to give you some privacy. Not enough space to go for long walks with the dog, but Beachmere, Bribie or Brisbane are not a long drive away. Midges are a bit of a bother some times of the year, and nothing seems to keep them away! A smudging fire, or go to bed ...

Weekend Trip to The Magic Pond

Easy to find and lovely spot between 2 lakes, the purple lilies were so beautiful and taking the property kayaks out to paddle through them was just stunning. Couldn't locate the fire wood so sourced from another place. Mozzy's can be fierce so be prepared. I used Thermacell Mosquito Repellent Unit from BCF and it did an excellent job, covered 21m area for 12 hours, cost approx. $60 for a number of times with gas refills and repellent pads. I would stay again, beautiful spot.
