Private and secluded 15 acre property on the edge of forest lined clear running creek. Only 8km to town of Gympie and 50 mins to Rainbow Beach. Many sights and attractions within short driving distance. Camp is setup on the edge of the forest canopy that follows the quite running creek that’s abundant with bird life and a beautiful place to soak your feet or have a dip in the natural plunge pool or just relax and listen to natures orchestra. It’s a slight downhill drive from the driveway to campsite so if towing a camp trailer a 4WD is recommended. It’s about a 3 minute walk to the house so your privacy is assured but not far to go should you need any assistance. Our campsite comes with fireplace and bench seating and reasonable amount of firewood supplied for the length of your stay.

Campers will need to be self contained (rubbish and toilets) and please leave your campsite the way you found it. Don't leave toilet paper or rubbish in fire pits please. Enter / Exit the main gate by pushing the code into the key pad. Gate closes after 20 seconds once it is fully open so be quick. NOTE: ***During Summer- November, December, January and February there are midgees (sandflies) at dusk and dawn and we do recommend midgee screening or spraying the mesh on your caravan windows as the standard mozzie mesh will not keep them out. Bring coils, a fan as they hate any breeze, bug spray and long sleeved pants and tops to wear in the evenings from about 5pm-7pm!*** *4X4's are recommended if you don't stay along the fence line as it can get muddy if there has been lots of rain. If you stay along the fence line you will be fine as the roads are compact and hard and the camp sites along this fence are higher up, they are marked with Fire Pits so camp here if you want to stay dry and get a good breeze.*

Augie is one of our resident Koalas. He was released onto our property from Australia Zoo Hospital in 2023, just the same year we arrived here. Our little paradise features 30 acres, of which 20 belong to Augie and his friends as prime Koala habitat. On the remaining acres we enjoy having a stunning little lake, just creating that zen feeling. Camping spots all have stunning views of the lake which invites you to take a stroll around following an easy walking track. Maybe you can spot Augie or be delighted by the beautiful local birds that share our space. Our Kangaroo family usually grazes until sunrise just on the open grass area near the camp spots. This space is perfect for kicking a ball and if you are interested in hearing and learning about Permaculture and/or Conservation, be sure to chat to your host Tanja. Children under 12 stay free. Please continue to add them to your booking (you won't be charged), so we can keep track of numbers.

Private and secluded 15 acre property on the edge of forest lined clear running creek. Only 8km to town of Gympie and 50 mins to Rainbow Beach. Many sights and attractions within short driving distance. Camp is setup on the edge of the forest canopy that follows the quite running creek that’s abundant with bird life and a beautiful place to soak your feet or have a dip in the natural plunge pool or just relax and listen to natures orchestra. It’s a slight downhill drive from the driveway to campsite so if towing a camp trailer a 4WD is recommended. It’s about a 3 minute walk to the house so your privacy is assured but not far to go should you need any assistance. Our campsite comes with fireplace and bench seating and reasonable amount of firewood supplied for the length of your stay.

There is a medium sized dam on the property for swimming.The Tuan Forshore has a park, BBQ area and picnic tables as well as garbage disposal.

The bowls club and Golf Club just 3km away and serve meals on weekends. This site is suitable for caravans, RV's, camper trailers. There is NO toilet facility on the property. We are VERY dog friendly and can be off lead as long as the dogs are friendly towards people and other dogs and don't bite our horses. We also have other peoples horses agisting in paddocks. Activities you can do include boating, kayaking, swimming, fishing, crabbing, walking, stand up paddle boarding, bird watching, kangaroo spotting, playing in the parks, beach tennis, mountain biking, hiking etc. Camp sites are far from the main house and other sites so you can have camp fires and play music, use generators without worry. Campers will need to be self contained (rubbish and toilets) and please leave your campsite the way you found it. Don't leave toilet paper or rubbish in fire pits please. Enter / Exit the main gate by pushing the code into the key pad. Gate closes after 20 seconds once it is fully open so be quick. NOTE: ***During Summer- November, December, January and February there are midgees (sandflies) at dusk and dawn and we do recommend midgee screening or spraying the mesh on your caravan windows as the standard mozzie mesh will not keep them out. Bring coils, a fan as they hate any breeze, bug spray and long sleeved pants and tops to wear in the evenings from about 5pm-7pm!*** *4X4's are recommended if you don't stay along the fence line as it can get muddy if there has been lots of rain. If you stay along the fence line you will be fine as the roads are compact and hard and the camp sites along this fence are higher up, they are marked with Fire Pits so camp here if you want to stay dry and get a good breeze.*
