Our names are Chris and Christine.
We recently moved to Gundiah Qld and acquired a beautiful piece of land (approx. 320 acres) with about 70 acres of picturesque camping located on the Mary River.
Our property is located halfway between Gympie and Maryborough (approx. 20 minutes from the Bruce Highway) tucked away down a private road which is lovely and peaceful.
We have some walking trails located on the Camp Grounds to take in the scenery, or for the more adventurous located behind the office are longer walking trails with spectacular views at the top.
There is a bike track and playground with Mini Putt Putt to keep the kids amused! Currently an RC track in the making for the remote 4WD enthusiasts.
Easy access to the Mary River if you would like a spot of fishing, swimming or kayaking. Keep your eye out for the platypus and Mary River Turtles.
We also have fire pits available at most sites with plenty of free firewood to collect around the property.
Your fury friends are more than welcome but for the safety of them and others must be on a lead at all times.
We are located about 50 minutes from Gympie, an hour 15 minutes from Rainbow Beach and or Hervey Bay and 45 minutes from Maryborough. The town of Tiaro is only 15 minutes down the road which has a Foodworks, Pub, United Fuel and Cafe.
Don't forget the local Gundy Pub is only 5 minutes down the road. Great atmosphere and meals "tell them we sent you".
Gundy Getaway is the perfect place to get back to basics and enjoy the peace and serenity.

Hidden Camp Farm Stay is a mixture of beautiful Aussie bush, wandering horses, donkeys, chickens and geese. Honda the family dog came down for a visit as well. The camels were a little shy while we were there.
Callan, Leah and their helpers are so welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. We had a unpowered site, plenty of room for our vehicle and camper trailer.
Lots of space and privacy to camp whether you are, after sites up near the big barn, down near the dam or up on the grassy hill. There are two Tiny Houses as well, set out in the bush.
Amenities are clean, potable water available.
Highly recommend Hidden Camp Farm Stay, a place to destress, back to basics, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, to just stop and regroup. Listen to the cicadas of a night-time, being welcomed in the morning by the wandering donkeys.
It is exciting to see how much work has been achieved in the 6 months, Callan and Leah have been at there Glenwood property. Cannot wait see what you guys do in the future!

My family and I loved camping, we were with our 1-year-old baby. we stayed in the place with energy and that of course facilitated our stay. the fact that we had the kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, kettle and etc. is wonderful. in addition the bathrooms are always clean and there is a shower with hot water. we hope to return soon . Calan is super kind and communicative and tries to understand in the best possible way, we are Brazilians and English is still a barrier for us and he was super kind.

Great spot, not too far off the main road yet lots of peace and quiet. We loved the natural bushland setting and especially the wandering menagerie of friendly animals.
Callan and his team of friendly helpers have done wonders with the place since they've been there and it will only get better.
We've already recommended it to many people and hope to be back.

Celebrated hubbys 30th & couldn’t have picked a better place. Animals were a hit, toilet spotless, owner even did extras for the kids. Camp kitchen & shower while under construction are better than most places already. Owners have so many plans and we seriously can’t wait to keep coming back & seeing what they do with the place.

I stayed at Hidden Camp for a week over Australia Day and honestly, it was incredible. Proper switch-off, back-to-basics, breathe again kind of place. Peaceful, quiet, birds everywhere, no traffic noise, no planes, just bush and space. It feels like you’re miles from anywhere, even though it’s only about 30 minutes drive north of Gympie. The farm animals were such a joy, camels, donkeys, geese, ducks, horses, mini horses, chickens, plus a very confident rooster. The drop toilets were genuinely clean, the potable water tasted great, hot and cold shower, and everything just felt well cared for without being overdone.
Australia Day weekend was such a vibe. Live music with a fantastic singer, thong-throwing comps, relaxed friendly energy without feeling crowded at all. Even with loads of campers coming in, everyone had heaps of space and privacy. Easy access for cars, vans, and caravans, plus extra areas for four wheel drives if you want. Your choice of places to camp - near the dam or up on the grassy green hill. It feels like the middle of nowhere but without the hassle of getting there. I loved it, I fully decompressed, and I will absolutely be back.

The Pastures at Gundy Getaway were the perfect spot for our weekend trip. It’s easily accessible with plenty of space and designated fire pits. The toilet and shower facilities were awesome and the kids loved the bike track and play area. Not to mention cooling off in the Mary River. Chris and Christine look after the place really well and were friendly and helpful. 10/10

Hidden Camp what a beautiful place to visit and stay. From the ample opportunity to pick your camping spot, swimming at Donkey Dam, roaming horses, donkeys, camels etc. Love that there is the option to part take in the events that they put together such as live music, BBQs, movie nights it really is the one stop spot for everything and the owners Callan and Leah are fabulous nothing is ever to much trouble for them hands down the most genuine owners you would come across at a camp ground. Well done guys and we will be back for sure.

Hidden camp has not long opened and has some grand plans. Considering how long they’ve been opened they done a great job. There’s a few port-a-loos around the place, a shower block, camp kitchen and a communal barn. There are all still works in progress however it’s going to be amazing.
Plenty of room, some cute and cheeky animals. And a few dams throughout.
I can’t wait to see what they do out there!
Good work guys!!!
