8.4km from Fernvale · 1 site · Tent, RVWhether you're escaping the Brisbane heat or chasing a cosy winter fireside, Split Yard Creek is your peaceful riverside sanctuary — just one hour from the city.
With an endless supply of firewood, there's never a bad season to visit.
A lush, gently rolling paddock framed by towering trees, a willow tree, and a crystal-clear creek — it's the kind of place where you arrive stressed and leave wondering why you don't do this every weekend. Platypus and eels are regular creek visitors, the bird life is spectacular, and with no phone reception, the only thing on your agenda is whatever you feel like.
Perfect for couples, groups, solo travellers, or adventurers using us as a base for the Brisbane Valley's best experiences.
