2 nights at Deep Creek Camping

Lovely little oasis, quiet and peaceful. Good distance between campers. Highly recommend

4 nights at Bellbird Lodge

Beautiful place, great host. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

3 nights at Hopevale Adventure Camping

Loved our stay - huge private sites, well maintained, mowed grass, private clean creek (April), fire pit, large clean solar shower, friendly owner and interesting hikes/walks in the area. This offers camping at its finest and has to be up there with some of the best sites we have ever visited.

Weekend Trip to Deep Creek Camping

Private, quiet and really nice people. Easy to find and great communicators. Thanks guys

Weekend Trip to Deep Creek Camping

My partner, her dog and I loved this little getaway. Jeremy met us at the front and guided us to our campsite, the ground was a bit muddy due to all the rain prior so a 4wd is definitely needed. Amanda was always a message away and quick! The property was beautiful, the dam was nice and the campsite was just far enough from the other campers to feel private. The cows roaming the paddock was wonderful to see! Thank you for your hospitality Amanda and Jeremy :)

Weekend Trip to Deep Creek Camping

Had a really great farm camping experience for our small family over the long weekend. The property is well set out and maintained. The dam offered fun activities to entertain the children for hours. We'll be back!

1 night at Bellbird Lodge

We loved staying at this site and will definitely come back. It’s such a beautiful property and the host was great.

4 nights at Kenilworth Rural Camping

Site 4 was very large with lush grass and fairly flat so not only is it good for the caravan and tents but also for the kids games. Close to the river and town but still far enough away from the main stream of campers and noise that larger campgrounds bring. Definitely recommend this to those who are self sufficient.

Weekend Trip to Deep Creek Camping

It was a lovely place!! We booked 2 campsites but they let us all squeeze into one!! We had 8 children with us and 7 of those children are on the spectrum, so we were loud and impatient and not a soul complained.. all the campsites are far enough away from eachother that you can spread out and enjoy your time without being underfoot.. the large dam was great fun for the kids all day (bring your kayaks and all swimming fun toys) the cows were a beautiful site saying hello and having the dogs off leash and running free with fires was just the perfect atmosphere!! We went for the long easter weekend and the kids loved the Easter activities set up for them!! Highly recommend anyone to give this place a ago and thankyou so much for welcoming us onto your property!! One easter our kids will never forget x

Weekend Trip to Bellbird Lodge

The creek was beautiful with some great large swimming holes post a lot of rain. We ended up staying on campsite 2 which I would recommend, close the creek and walking distance to the toilet.

Weekend Trip to Hopevale Adventure Camping

Spacious campsite and the creek was the best feature. The best part about Jason's property is that he doesn't overcrowd campers. This is the most attractive part of the property. Jason should be applauded for this alone.

1 night at Tremayne - The Old Avocado Farm

A little slice of paradise tucked away amongst the Avocado Trees high on a hill.

1 night at Tremayne - The Old Avocado Farm

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful property, Neil. Your hospitality and history of your property was amazing. We loved the Lakeside view, the rainforest walk was also a great little surprise. Sitting under the stars beside the fire was just what we needed to reset and the bonus of waking up the next morning next to that beautiful Dam was pure bliss, we didn't want to leave. Thank you again, Bill and Tali.

Weekend Trip to Tremayne - The Old Avocado Farm

Neil and Joss were wonderful, friendly hosts. Their property is beautiful, with nice flat grassy sites. The mini rainforest walk was super fun and totally worth the walk down to the lake. We all had an amazing time and would definitely love to come back ☺️

Weekend Trip to Deep Creek Camping

We arrived at camp and were met by the lovely host Amanda. She showed us to our camp site and we were lucky enough to secure a site close to the water due to a spot unexpectedly becoming available so she let us go there. Us and our dogs loved it. Great spot will definitely be back! Love that there was plenty of space between campers. Great to see the owners don’t over book the grounds.

3 nights at Deep Creek Camping

Amanda and Jeremy were very welcoming and helpful! The property is beautiful and it was nice to cool off in the dam! You have so much space to yourself and the dogs enjoyed being off leash exploring for a couple of days! Will definitely be going back! Great place and great hosts!

Hopevale Adventure Camping

6 sites · RVs, Tents113 acres · Widgee, QLD

The Cooke Family welcomes you to “Hopevale”. A beautiful 113 acre property bordered by Wrattens National Park at the edge of the world in the peaceful Widgee district of greater Gympie. Jason, a landscaper by trade, and Jacinta a teacher by profession, met many years ago at a national Christian youth conference. Four beautiful children later and many years down the track, they bought Hopevale as a blank cattle fattening property in 2018. After much hard work, they have made it what it is today, with plans to continually improve. We have different camp options available, one of which is set up for those guests also wanting to stay with horses or just have a larger group booking. Guests will have access to a toilet and shower throughout their stay which is within walking distance from each of the campsites. Campfires and pets are welcome. The property has only had 4 farming owners in its 110 odd years since it was first surveyed and selected in 1915. The Hillcoats, Bishops, Cotters, and now the Cooke’s. The families over the years have used the property for timber getting, dairy, beef and small cropping. The property is geologically rich with volcanic soils, sandstone escarpments full of caves and overhangs. The mighty Wrattens Falls sits to the back of the property in the National Park and is a sight to behold in full flow. It feeds the head waters of the western branch of Widgee Creek which meanders through the property. The subtropical dry rainforest clad mountains are dominated by the majestic Bunya and Hoop pines and are a testament to what once was covering the entire property before being cleared for farming. Remnant riparian creek lines are botanically rich and diverse holding Red and White Cedar, Teak, Silky oak and many other coveted timber trees harvested back in the day. There are many species of animals and birds that call Hopevale home. From water dragons, frogs and fish in the creeks, monitors, wallabies, deer, koalas, possums and phascogales in the eucalypts. Red-back wrens, pardalotes, rainbow bee-eaters, finches and quail call the open grasses home while whip birds give their iconic call in the forest. Above, birds of prey ride the thermals of the valley looking for their next meal. “We have been blessed beyond measure with a small slice of God’s wonderful creation that we would love to share with you.”
