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.

What a gorgeous place to camp! The facilities are well maintained, there’s plenty of space for the kids to run around and we loved being able to choose any spot on the property. We took advantage of the loads of firewood, it made for the perfect night by the fire. We’ll definitely be going back again and again.

We had such a wonderful stay at Timbermill! Such a beautiful working Timbermill but still with modern, well-kept facilities and plenty of space to relax. The grounds are spacious, peaceful, and incredibly quiet — the perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature.
Our kids absolutely loved being able to run around freely and safely, which made the experience even more special for our whole family. Everything felt thoughtfully set up and welcoming, and we truly appreciated the calm, friendly atmosphere.
We would highly recommend Timbermill, especially for groups and events, the Shed and facilities are perfect!
We can’t wait to come back!

We really enjoyed our get a way at Timbermill. This rural off grid property has plenty of room to find your own little space away from other campers or closer to the amazing ammenities if that's what you prefer.
There is a nice creek and small town within a short drive from the property.
If you love all the charm the Australian bush has to offer and looking for an escape from the business of more populated places I would definitely recommend this one.
Also plenty of chopped firewood is available for your convenience.
Will definitely be back.

Fabulous find while we visited family in the area. We are 2Ad in a caravan & loved the spacious peaceful bush setting along with having potable water available. Lovely family friendly property with the small farmyard & fairyland walk for children to enjoy. Thankyou Susan, we're excited for your plans & hope to visit again soon ;)

This month's Hipcamp trip was to Brooyar Station (Lake View, Site 24), we stayed four nights, enjoying the entire camp ground to ourselves. When the weather cleared, we had beautiful clear skies and magical starry-nights. The property is beautiful with rolling green valleys, a lily-filled billabong buzzing with birds and frogs, a visiting eagle, kangaroos hopping by and curious cows watching on.
Local adventures close by included walking part of the Kilkivan rail trail, driving dry creek backroads, finding the historic Mt Clara smelter chimney, bush tracks to Eagle Nest & Point Pure lookouts, pub lunch and great local coffee at Woolooga.
With no Telstra internet and phone reception at camp, this made our stay even more enjoyable.
We also had a little incident, and we can’t thank Rob and his helpers enough for jumping in and saving our van from burning to the ground!
We highly recommend Brooyar Station for a peaceful getaway.

Weekend Trip to Heart and Soul
Heart and Soul is exactly what you need if you are looking for a quiet getaway surrounded by nature. The property is beautiful overlooking rolling hills, being able to watch cows make their way past your bedroom window is such a unique experience that any animal lover must see.
Nina the host is excellent, friendly and incredibly helpful even when it comes to silly questions. We definitely will be back and recommending it all of our family and friends!

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.
