17km from Ipswich · 1 site · Tent, RV
'Weefarm' is situated on a picturesque bend of the Brisbane River near Fernvale and is accessible by 4WD only. Kids are free to 17 so if you have children between 12-17, please include them in the "children" booking.
We provide an exclusive booking for you on absolute river frontage for tents and camper trailers.
Spend your time swimming, fishing, canoeing or simply sipping a cold drink on the pontoon under the umbrella. With an easterly aspect you’ll want to spend the morning swimming or exploring the riverscape and when the afternoon shade sets in light the campfire and put your feet up.
Please note... our campsite has been ongoing since 2017 and campers have kindly shared their many happy memories. Over the years, things change. Please take the photos lightly.
There is no vehicular boat ramp but still excellent access for other small watercraft. Due to the steep track to the camp area we insist on 4WD’s only - though you can walk down if feeling energetic!
Please bring drinking water and a desire to leave the riverside just as you found it. We have enough room for around 20 people in tents or camper trailers.
Portaloo toilet available at the campsite.
Campfires are permitted in the circle but please be mindful of any restrictions. You can purchase firewood from us if needed.
Dogs are also welcome but must stay with you at all times. Please let us know they are coming as well.

17km from Ipswich · 1 site · Tent, RV
'Weefarm' is situated on a picturesque bend of the Brisbane River near Fernvale and is accessible by 4WD only. Kids are free to 17 so if you have children between 12-17, please include them in the "children" booking.
We provide an exclusive booking for you on absolute river frontage for tents and camper trailers.
Spend your time swimming, fishing, canoeing or simply sipping a cold drink on the pontoon under the umbrella. With an easterly aspect you’ll want to spend the morning swimming or exploring the riverscape and when the afternoon shade sets in light the campfire and put your feet up.
Please note... our campsite has been ongoing since 2017 and campers have kindly shared their many happy memories. Over the years, things change. Please take the photos lightly.
There is no vehicular boat ramp but still excellent access for other small watercraft. Due to the steep track to the camp area we insist on 4WD’s only - though you can walk down if feeling energetic!
Please bring drinking water and a desire to leave the riverside just as you found it. We have enough room for around 20 people in tents or camper trailers.
Portaloo toilet available at the campsite.
Campfires are permitted in the circle but please be mindful of any restrictions. You can purchase firewood from us if needed.
Dogs are also welcome but must stay with you at all times. Please let us know they are coming as well.

Absolutely stunning. This is officially our favourite place to camp. The fishing was fantastic, the surroundings were peaceful, and the night sky was completely lit up with stars. We loved being able to let the dogs run free, and by nightfall they were completely worn out. A huge thank you to Josh and Bonnie for sharing your little slice of paradise! We will be back!!!

Top spot. Paddled flicking lures for hours, loved it. River had good flow but still easy enough to get up stream. Fantastic jetty and a loo with a view. Can't wait to get back. ( with better lures and some bait). Cheers

Great place to camp! It rained but didn't get muddy which was great. Toilets and campsite kept clean.
Danielle was great for my pre-camping questions.
Billies Bay just a 5 minute drive down the road for a swim.
Will definitely be back!

Very conveniently located, quiet and green. Great to see someone with a huge 2 acre back yard putting it to good use. I was the only one there (but there were lots of caravans using the space for storage, which is great to see). I will go back for sure. Craig, the host was very friendly and helpful. His black lab dog Zeus, liked my little Cavoodle. There was 15amp and 10amp power there for my campervan, and also a tap to top up my water tank. No toilet or shower facilities, but that was fine as I knew in advance and used my own onboard bathroom. Thanks Craig, well priced, and in a pretty suburb full of acreages and lovely houses.

We had the best time there. Beautiful, private space. My husband was over the moon with the fishing. The only negative is that is too hard to find a day available soon to book it again.

Quiet peaceful waterside location to kick back and watch the clouds roll by, close to Brisbane, and we'll worth spending a few days relaxing. Enough space to see other campers but not be able to hear them. Certainly will be back, thanks Libby.

Good campings for a little bit noisy but that's fine there was three kayaks there so that was good the only thing is couldn't find any firewood and I didn't want to pay for firewood if I couldn't bring my own firewood onto the property

We had an amazing time camping here! We stayed on Site 2, which was fantastic, having a private spot right in front of the lake made the whole experience feel really special and serene.
It was also super convenient to have access to the showers on-site, which were well-maintained and made the stay much more comfortable.

Beautiful lake front site all to yourself, love the cows that came by in the morning. Do need to drive to the showers, plus a small walk, but it was fine - got to see beautiful sunset view over the lake from the opposite side. Will come back!
