The Cooke Family welcomes you to “Hopevale”. A beautiful 113 acre property bordered by Wrattens National Park at the edge of the world in the peaceful Widgee district of greater Gympie. Jason, a landscaper by trade, and Jacinta a teacher by profession, met many years ago at a national Christian youth conference. Four beautiful children later and many years down the track, they bought Hopevale as a blank cattle fattening property in 2018. After much hard work, they have made it what it is today, with plans to continually improve. We have different camp options available, one of which is set up for those guests also wanting to stay with horses or just have a larger group booking. Guests will have access to a toilet and shower throughout their stay which is within walking distance from each of the campsites. Campfires and pets are welcome. The property has only had 4 farming owners in its 110 odd years since it was first surveyed and selected in 1915. The Hillcoats, Bishops, Cotters, and now the Cooke’s. The families over the years have used the property for timber getting, dairy, beef and small cropping. The property is geologically rich with volcanic soils, sandstone escarpments full of caves and overhangs. The mighty Wrattens Falls sits to the back of the property in the National Park and is a sight to behold in full flow. It feeds the head waters of the western branch of Widgee Creek which meanders through the property. The subtropical dry rainforest clad mountains are dominated by the majestic Bunya and Hoop pines and are a testament to what once was covering the entire property before being cleared for farming. Remnant riparian creek lines are botanically rich and diverse holding Red and White Cedar, Teak, Silky oak and many other coveted timber trees harvested back in the day. There are many species of animals and birds that call Hopevale home. From water dragons, frogs and fish in the creeks, monitors, wallabies, deer, koalas, possums and phascogales in the eucalypts. Red-back wrens, pardalotes, rainbow bee-eaters, finches and quail call the open grasses home while whip birds give their iconic call in the forest. Above, birds of prey ride the thermals of the valley looking for their next meal. “We have been blessed beyond measure with a small slice of God’s wonderful creation that we would love to share with you.”

You will have access to walk most of the cattle property at your leisure. 15 minutes drive from Kingaroy. Please respect fence lines and the cattle. The property is a semi arid grass land surrounded by Ironbark timberlands. You must adhere to fire ratings. We have easy, medium and black diamond camping sites available. One must do a easy before the other aspects of the property are available for camping. The easy campsite (pictured) can accept tents all season and camper trailers, RV's when it is in the dry season! The entry level campsite is called Dragons Lake. It is run by a water dragon that likes to see you and is keen to see you go. The sky's are patrolled by a resident pair of wedge tailed eagles, all the reptiles you imagine in this country appear and are happy to do their own thing. Local activities include Bacon Fest, Car racing, agricultural shows, music and of course peanuts. There are several hikes and mountain bike trails. Book your trip around something exciting, then retreat to solitude. The rules are simple come, clean go clean. You can send through a Queensland certified weed certificate for your vehicle not more than 24 hours old; or have a quick inspection before you arrive, at most you will have to do a 20 dollar car wash. Lantana, Parthenium and fire ants are not something to be taken lightly. Your host wants people to be able to camp like they have but, not at the expense of this special place; that is healthy, vibrant and in control of weed species related to this area and the grazing practices. Every site has access to water, swim in the dam NO SOAP IN THE DAM. The entry level site has access to water approximately 50m from the site and a dam. All other sites have access to dams for swimming and fresh water that is not potable. Bring your own fire pit and toilet, take what you bring, leave no trace. Hiking and mountain bikes only, (highly fragile soils). Limited selection of camping supplies for sale.
