This camp is an easy seven minute drive from the Gympie Music Muster site.
Get in early to set up camp at your choice of positions on a mostly flat paddock in the crook of huge private valley. 4WD is not totally necessary but may be advantageous in wet weather or to those wanting to get off the beaten track.
With creek frontage, shade trees overhead and ranging hills behind, at this camp site you will be sure to catch sight of many birds, wallabies, and other wildlife. Bring your camera!

Cedarton is a small farm on 100 acres, we have cows, chickens, ducks, goats, sheep and horses. We have wild deer, wallabies and kangaroos that come in the mornings and afternoons. If the kids like to get involved, I can take them around in the morning to feed the animals, we have around 30 head of cattle, calves, 2 horses, 2 goats, one pet sheep, chickens and ducks. We have a cow called Cutie Pie, she loves a cuddle.
Happy to spend time with the kids to show them the jobs we do daily. Parents can join in or sit back and relax. Takes about 1 hour in the morning. If it's school holidays, we build scarecrow's, plant sunflowers or other crops together. Wash rescue horses or any other job on the farm.
Kids love collecting the eggs and cooking them up for their breakfast.
We also have a pool at the farmhouse which campers can use between 9am - 11.30am daily.
If you like hiking there's a couple you can do, one that takes around 30 mins and one that takes 2 hours.
Plenty of space to play cricket, football or ride push bikes. If you like fishing there's creeks nearby as well.
Each camp site will have wood for fires, if you require more you can buy some on site for $20 a bag. Please don't bring wood in because of biosecurity and fire ants.
Cedarton Farm is also on Facebook.
We are close to Australia Zoo, Big Kart track at Beerwah, Maleny Dairies, Kondalilla falls, Gardener waterfalls, Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve. There's a cheese factory, chocolate factory and wineries in Maleny.
Fantastic restaurants in Montville.
We are also 10 mins from Woodford Folk Festival.
We are off grid only for campers, campervans and caravans we have no amenities at this current time.
How ever if you want a porta loo Dinkem Dunnies are great and deliver porta loos. Roughly costs $250 to hire.
4x4 if towing because of dirt driveway and paddocks.
Pet friendly however we do ask that no pets chase animals.

We stayed with our camper van for 3 nights. Great site, well cared for and fully fenced which was perfect for our dogs. Will definitely go again with the family. It did rain solidly for 2 days but because it is so well kept there was no build up of rain excess water. Loved it. Thanks John and Tenille

Lovely little spot! Large flat pad that was secluded from other campsites. We had a ute with rooftop, then a gazebo with tent attachment and there was still heaps of room. You get your own personal entrance to the creek which was very clean and sandy bottom, plus very cold water on a hot day!! As an added bonus, we had absolutely zero mozzys or flies! Pretty unheard of on a farm paddock!

Weekend Trip to Bellbird Lodge
Paul’s place is a gorgeous escape from the business of life, surrounded by trees and birdsong this little gem makes for a relaxing trip away for those who enjoy the tranquility of being outside. The caravan pad is totally set up with hot showers working oven and stove top, water and a comfy bed to sleep.
The swimming hole is fresh and has many small fish and even a turtle.
Paul is a friendly and attentive host and has thoughtfully created his own version of paradise. Thanks for the rest.

Jacks Shack was great, especially given the weather was less than perfect. Toilets were spotless and the creek was much wider than expected and the kayaks were a added bonus. We will definately be back.

We loved camping at Yabba Creek Farm, even in fairly on and off rainy weather the experience was excellent. The hosts were super friendly and helpful offering us to stay in a different site the "Mountain View" site as it had a built structure we could escape the rain under. This was a blessing we were grateful for and allowed us to stay nice and dry.
We took the opportunity to use the free kayaks that are onsite to borrow and had a nice paddle around and swim in the creek with our dog.
We would certainly come again and I'd certainly recommend any of the sites here as they all looked equally well maintained and spacious.

We absolutely loved our 3 night stay at Yabba Creek Farm, the best Hipcamp we have stayed at.
Our site was Silky Oaks, loads of room for our van and two other smaller set ups. Level, lots of shade, well maintained site and the views are fabulous. Easy access to the creek below for a cool swim in the close by swimming hole and the free use of Kayaks was a real bonus.
Dean is the perfect host and could not have been more friendly and helpful.
We highly recommend Yabba Creek Farm , we’ll be back.
