72km from Gladstone · 1 site · Tent, RV
Tucked away in a secluded pocket of pristine rain forest, this camping site offers a private and peaceful retreat for self-contained campers. Surrounded by tall, slender trees and lush undergrowth, the area feels completely immersed in nature—quiet, shaded, and far from the crowds.
Bright clusters of red-and-orange wildflowers add vibrant color to the forest floor, and they’re known to attract butterflies, bringing gentle movement and bursts of color to the clearing. Native wildlife thrives here—birds, small reptiles, and even the occasional shed snakeskin near fallen logs remind you of the rich ecosystem around you.
The spacious, natural clearings offer plenty of room to set up camp without seeing other people, making it ideal for those seeking privacy, solitude, and a clothing-optional environment. Whether relaxing in the shade, exploring the surrounding forest, or simply unwinding in silence, this site provides a serene, immersive wilderness experience perfect for travelers who value freedom and tranquillity.
Located just 7km from the beach, it offers excellent fishing and crabbing opportunities.
Guests must be fully self contained with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste with them on departure.
Campfires are welcome in fire pit.
No pets are allowed, sorry.

One of the best Hip Camps I’ve been too, the camp sites are huge and well spread apart, fire pits on every site, the dam is great to swim in, the owner’s came down once, they were nice, 1 tip is to buy the firewood when you get there, not through a 3rd party.

We took a 22” caravan and a camper truck here. Reasonably flat and power available if you request it in advance. Heaps of fruit trees all around and you are actually encouraged to go and explore. Daryl was very knowledgeable about the things he was growing and happy to share the process that he was going through. Who knew mulberries and bananas were so important!
Toilet and shower available. Pretty bush style toilet but flushing etc. Didn’t use the shower on the property but it looked fine.
Chickens, sheep and cattle to have a look at. Chickens were very friendly. All in all a peaceful getaway. Rained most of the time but that was all good. I would definitely recommend for a few nights away.

We stayed at an unpowered site and it was perfect. Space for 3 small tents plus the car plus firepit. Beautiful bush surroundings. The camp boasts an awesome array of facilities. Camp kitchen is an awesome communal space where you can meet new ppl and enjoy a nice meal or a game of pool or ping pong. Charging points are also available. The amenities are always clean and has plenty of showers and toilets. The staff are awesome and friendly and always helpful. The top camp has a beautiful pool with views to die for. The wildlife is amazing. Staying here reminded me of camping as a kid. Definitely family friendly. With awesome beaches up the road what more could you ask for. Definitely coming back! Most relaxing camping I've done in years.
