This was a great location for a peaceful break. A wonderful outlook across paddocks and a dam. A catch up with the cattle who were very friendly and keen for a feed. So quiet, with power and water as well as flushing toilet and strong shower. We cooked over the fire within the firepit and thoroughly enjoyed the stay.

This is an amazing Hipcamp, where Karen and her husband, were incredibly welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived. The location is fantastic, just a short distance from Sharky Beach, where we were lucky enough to witness turtles coming up each evening. It was truly an incredible and unforgettable experience to watch.
The camp itself was quiet and peaceful, with beautiful sea breezes that made it perfect for relaxing and unwinding. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would highly recommend this Hipcamp to anyone looking for a special coastal escape.
Thank you, we will be back!

Nice place very close to the beach. The four sites are spread out nicely. Had a short and quiet stay there.
Be aware that the beach walk to the turtle center (if you plan to visit there) are closed 6pm to 6am during turtle season and you will have to drive your way over there for the night Explorer tour.

An excellent spot to spend a few days, Mon Repos Pines is perfectly placed to explore the area. The 4 sites are all situated along the southern fence line of a large field adjacent to the owners’ property, very quiet and just a few steps from the walk/cycle track which follows the coastline from Burnett Heads in the north to just beyond Bargara in the south. The beach close by is virtually covered by black rocks but there is a sandy strip which can be used to access the water when the tide is low (high tide covers this strip). The 4 sites are spaced out next to each other but there is not a lot of room in between each site so when they are all occupied everyone could be quite close. They only take up a small length of the fence line so it would be great if there could be more space between sites, but maybe the council does not allow this. Site 1 is nearest the pathway but is not quite as level as the other sites. We would certainly recommend this camp site to other travellers.

Great location and only a short drive to the beach. The camp itself is pretty simple but it’s what we expected when we booked. I would say to avoid this site if you have a low clearance 2WD as we struggled a little bit to get out with our campervan. Overall we would stay again purely for the location 😊

Our family loved our four nights at this campsite. We were on site 1 and were on our own for the duration of our stay.
The location is amazing; literally a 30m walk to the public footpath, and a few metres further to the ocean. There's a great sandy beach around 100m walk away, which is perfect for a high tide swim.
The site itself is grassy and totally open, which is great for solar and gave the kids somewhere to safely run around.
Karen was very friendly and greeted us on the afternoon we arrived, explaining some of the local attractions.
We would definitely stay again when we are next in the area.
