Weekend Trip to Undercliff Farm

Amazing place and awesome host, the kids were so friendly and we played cricket. Well maintained amenities and great place to be on the weekend. Lots of pets and animals to play with

Weekend Trip to Kingsland Camping Mt. Maroon

Such an impeccable camp site with awesome views. A bit sketchy with a 2WD if you have a small car but with an SUV type car you’ll be sweet. Awesome to access Mt Maroon.

2 nights at Kingsland Camping Mt. Maroon

Yup a must visit with kids. We stayed at campsite A, the walk to the unyolked area at the foot of the mountain was amazing. Lovely spaced out sites. We even saw a koala up close.

2 nights at Kookaburra Camping & Caravan Park

We loved every bit of our stay here, from the friendly horse, goat and sheep, through to the wallabies and the possum that visited. If you’re an animal person, you will love this place. Lots of birds to see as well. Great walks through the bush amongst the granite boulders looking at rock Wallaby.The amenities are probably the best we’ve had on our long service leave. Be prepared for Duncan’s humour and generosity.

1 night at Oakey Ridge

Absolutely lovely and secluded spot, close enough to town but far away from the hustle and bustle. Views of rolling hills all around and plenty of life. Will definitely be staying again.

1 night at Tuntable Bush Camp

What a beautiful little spot Rachel has, such thoughtful beautiful touches and such comfy beds. We'll be back again to explore the creek next time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us.

Weekend Trip to Wynola Country Cousins

Weekend Trip to Wynola Country Cousins

My wife and I stayed at Wynola Country Cousins property for a weekend in March. The property is beautiful, quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed being near the creek and watching, listening to the wildlife on the property. Bernie is a great host and this is one of the best locations we have stayed at with Hipcamp so far. Our little dog loved being off the lead and pretending he was a farm dog.

2 nights at Aloomba Lavender Farm

This place feels like just what I have been thinking about all those years when one day we will be travelling around in a caravan. We hae now been here 3 times in the past month. The open paddock with cows, a great fire pit and only 15 min to Stanthorpe. Now when it is cold and it has been cold here what I really love is a nice hot shower, the showers here are to die for. Love this spot and will be back many more times .

Super hot showers, all very clean and functional. Great hosts….thanks so much Jacqui & Don!

You are welcome to choose your own spot on our 90 acres, and we can help advise of some good locations. All sites are for self-contained travelers, those that have their own camp toilet and can take all waste with them when they leave. The property is most suited to 4WD, high clearance vehicles, and off-road campers. Caravans and motorhomes will find it difficult to reach most areas to camp. Children under 12 stay free! Please still add children to the booking (you will not be charged) so we can keep on top of guest numbers. You're welcome to bring your furry four-legged friends along to camp too, but please ensure they do not hassle the livestock or travel across the creek, we have neighbouring properties all around us. Please feel free to swim in the creek wherever you please and you are most welcome to walk up the creek to adventure. There are some beautiful secluded spots and swimming holes, but please do not cross the creek, our neighbours like their privacy. If you arrive to extreme weather conditions please contact us before entering the property as we may have to recommend some safe spots for camping or arrange you to stay on The Vale camping site.

Camp Creek Retreat

7 sites · RVs, Tents200 acres · Running Creek, QLD

In Queensland, just north of the NSW border, in the Running Creek area of the "Scenic Rim". The nearby National Park is Mt Chinghee, which is part of the Shield Volcano Group of the World Heritage Site Gondwana Rainforests of Australia. We have grassed valleys and forested hills, which provide the perfect setting for bush walking, bird watching, star gazing, or just relaxing. All of our camp sites are well separated from each other. If it's total seclusion and privacy you're after, "Fig Tree" and "Ridge Top" would be perfect for you. While "The Old Hut", and "Washout" are closer to the road, they are not visable to each other. Our newest addition., "The Reserve" is tucked away on the banks of a special shady grassed area with lots of room to spread out. Guests staying with us must have their own toilet/shower facilities and take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. The sites are accessible for 4WD only. Get back to nature and explore. Many native animals have been spotted on the property wallabies, possums, echidnas, goannas, bandicoots, dingos, and koalas as well as a large variety of birds. Also a variety of frogs i.e.. Red/orange eyed tree frog, desert tree frog, white lipped tree frog, striped and spotted marsh frogs, striped rocket frog and stoney creek frogs. ( see how many different calls you can hear) This beautiful 200acre property in Camp Creek is part of the original "selection" by William Dimmock in 1895. It was a dairy farm, and at one stage the family grew market garden crops on a plateau high up the mountain, using a flyingfox to bring the crops down. Originally the property took in "Screw Gully" from Glenapp up to Tartar Creek Rd. In the 60's Jim Dimmick (grandson to William) sold out and the land was sub-divided. The property now supports up to 40 head of breeding cattle and 2 retired horses. Scenic Rim hosts local wineries; restaurants and coffee shops, and Mt Tamborine, all within an hour drive. Only a 1.5 hour drive to the Gold Coast.

Figtree Farm at Findon Creek

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents600 acres · Kyogle, NSW

Experience Figtree Farm at Findon Creek, a 600-acre natural oasis. Tucked away in a tranquil, secluded valley, this hidden gem is surrounded by Long Creek to the south and Findon Creek to the west, while the northern edge extends to the breathtaking Border Ranges National Park. On Gullibal land, Figtree Farm provides captivating vistas of Jalgumbin (Mt Lindesay) to the west and Lever's Plateau, a designated wilderness area of unlogged subtropical rainforest, to the north. This much-loved family-owned farm has a rich history, transitioning from a dairy farm to a beef property. Today, it flourishes with a bio-diverse planting of native trees and a bespoke joinery workshop crafting designer furniture. While Figtree Farm has been a camping destination for family and friends for many years and now we're happy to extend this welcome to Hipcampers too. As a starting point for this new venture at Findon Creek we offer 3 sites which are all suitable for larger groups; all situated on grassy open spaces beside the creek. In wet conditions you will need a 4WD to access these sites, though the flats themselves are not boggy. Explore the great outdoors by wandering along our extensive bush tracks and trying your hand at fishing in our farm dam stocked with silver perch. Figtree Farm has an abundance of bird and animal life. Here, tranquillity reigns, save for the occasional serenade of our friendly neighbourhood donkeys and the odd rooster. If you wish to wander further afield, Kyogle is a 30 minute drive away. And there is an all weather tennis court (with lights) nearby at Bundgeam Hall. Figtree Farm at Findon Creek promises opportunities for contemplation, relaxation and fun and it is our wish that you will have many happy memories of your visit here.
