Fantastic Hipcamp! Heaps of grass spots to choose from, free firewood, lots of nature - including fireflies, which we've never seen before. Shane, the host, was great and checked in with us to let us know a storm was coming. Stayed a week, but could easily have stayed for longer.

We really loved waking up in the morning and seeing the kangaroos! The place had enough space, water and power as well. We felt welcome and even received help with a power supply adaptor. Recommended it, it close to main attractions and the public dump point.

What a beautiful private and relaxing environment. A fantastic alternative to rack and stack caravan parks in Hervey Bay. The location is excellent for exploring the city and to access the whale watching marina. Highly recommended

I loved having the whole place to myself and the fact that you simply drive in and pitch up. Lovely having kangaroos lolloping through and I enjoyed the peace and calm of dusk listening to the birds.

We loved the location, the peace and quiet and wide open spots to camp on. The whole area is well maintained and is a credit to Shane, I would certainly recommend a stay if you want to get away from the noise and congestion of caravan parks. There is easy access to all the facilities of Hervey Bay, Toogum and Burrum heads We will certainly be back.
