Hart Hill boasts a stunning 28 acres. Your initial view of the property coming over a Thanes Creek causeway is that of a magnificent rock face. However, 600m down the road, through the gate, and over the ridge, Hart Hill exposes a lovely undulating fold baring a huge panorama of flat alluvial ground that hugs Thanes Creek.
Sprinkled with gums, the camping area is based west of the property in a stunning shady lea cooled by the creek and an old windmill for a backdrop.
The properties history is colourful. In 1869 the area was a hub for gold diggers wanting to strike it lucky. Old wooden stumps tell a story of an old mining hut, and if you dug in some of the rock heaps you might get a shock when you uncovered more than gold.
Visitors can enjoy campfires, fossicking, including swimming, kayaking, fishing and more dependant on seasonal changes to the creek.

The property used to be a 30-head horse stud in the late 90s, but as the old folks got older and hung up the saddle and whip, it has been allowed to age gracefully.
After taking over the property a few years ago, I have been slowly breathing some life back into its soil and cleaning out the old weeds (literally).
Both sites are close to beautiful dams in the true Australian bush, with huge gum trees for shade and natural beauty for days!
Guests must be fully self contained with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste with them on departure.
Campfires are welcome, as long as kept small.
Motorbikes would be allowed; however, the property is far too overgrown for it to be worth it. There's only around 20 acres in that paddock, & it's very overgrown with lantana

We are a short walk or drive from NASH Horse Treking for those who want to do a pub lunch ride on a horse. It is a fantastic experience so Google them to book. We are a very short 900m bicycle ride from the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (BRVT) which is one of the must-do cycle treks in the southern hemisphere. If you or your crew need a place to stay while riding the trail then this is perfect for you.
The town of Esk and two major dams are very close by where you can browse the antique shops, waterski, or fish to your heart's content.
We are also close to Fernvale where there are big Sunday Markets.

Hart Hill boasts a stunning 28 acres. Your initial view of the property coming over a Thanes Creek causeway is that of a magnificent rock face. However, 600m down the road, through the gate, and over the ridge, Hart Hill exposes a lovely undulating fold baring a huge panorama of flat alluvial ground that hugs Thanes Creek.
Sprinkled with gums, the camping area is based west of the property in a stunning shady lea cooled by the creek and an old windmill for a backdrop.
The properties history is colourful. In 1869 the area was a hub for gold diggers wanting to strike it lucky. Old wooden stumps tell a story of an old mining hut, and if you dug in some of the rock heaps you might get a shock when you uncovered more than gold.
Visitors can enjoy campfires, fossicking, including swimming, kayaking, fishing and more dependant on seasonal changes to the creek.

Come and relax at our flat, peaceful 5 acre hobby farm. Most animals wander around for example the sheep, ducks and chooks, turkeys So tough plastic boxes are great to keep your food items safe.
We have a mini pig (Splat) that is now in the house yard due to pushing fences and getttongbout
She loves pats, runs and a brush. She is super gentle.
Sometimes the horses are at nearby agistment so, ask if the horses cam be here for your visit.
Baby animals are seasonal.
There are a couple of small playgrounds, clean double flushing toilets, picnic tables, gas bbq and chairs for your convenience and a nice above ground pool to stay cool in.
We have firewood for sale, and I make a barrista coffee if your a coffee lover, like myself.
Bring some cash for firewood, coffee and other bits and pieces. There's a kids surprise cupboard, with toys to borrow while your staying here.
The $45 camp fee pays for 2 adults and 1 child. Just message me about extra guests as hipcamp adding extras doesn't work properly. You can pay by cash or transfer on arrival if necessary.
Extra adults campers I will discount to $15 instead of $20 adults and $5 for kids.
We also offer day visits for $5 per person.
Plenty of room for caravans, buses and horse floats. I have a round yard and horse yards and horses are $10 per horse/night to cover water costs. BYO hay.
Wivenhoe Dam (photo of big water mass) , Atkinson Dam and the Brisbane river are all close by. The famous rail trail that a lot of horse riders and cyclists enjoy is just a klm down the road. (keep an eye out for koalas)
Hope to see you soon at the farm.
If you do an instant booking and I don't see it or reply, don't stress, as your welcome to drive on in and straight up the laneway to the back paddock area. Set up where ever you like.
Just close gates behind you and I will meet you later if we are out.
If your dates bounce at booking pm me through messenger FB page. H camp takes large commissions now.

The property used to be a 30-head horse stud in the late 90s, but as the old folks got older and hung up the saddle and whip, it has been allowed to age gracefully.
After taking over the property a few years ago, I have been slowly breathing some life back into its soil and cleaning out the old weeds (literally).
Both sites are close to beautiful dams in the true Australian bush, with huge gum trees for shade and natural beauty for days!
Guests must be fully self contained with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste with them on departure.
Campfires are welcome, as long as kept small.
Motorbikes would be allowed; however, the property is far too overgrown for it to be worth it. There's only around 20 acres in that paddock, & it's very overgrown with lantana
Pets are allowed on leash.

Stayed at the Rydges site this time and it was still a great view! Not as good as Valley Views but still great. Cows were there to welcome us and would wander past in the afternoon. This site gets a bit of highway noise but did not concern us at all as was just background noise. Laura is an excellent host as always!

Valley View was a peaceful campsite for me and my two active dogs. Great views to the North, South and West and perfect screening trees to the East. Superb opportunities for sunrise and sunset photos as well as a nice dark sky for astrophotography. Laura, was excellent with her communications and Neil was very welcoming and good for a chat. We will happily return.

This is an awesome camping spot, the trees surrounding camp made it feel very cozy. The scenery was absolutely lovely and was complemented with a gorgeous sunset and sunrise. Even with the cars passing by a few hundred meters away the camp felt very peaceful.

Lovely scenic quiet spot. Area has not had a lot of rain thus there was not a lot of water for swimming. We are city slickers - there were 2 horses hanging by a 3 way gate. We were not experienced enough to know that those horses were hanging around specifically to get entry to another paddock. My husband did not shoo them away and opened the gate & one bolted through. We were embarrassed but the owner was understanding. Lesson learned. No network connection which was perfect.

Loved our visit to Hobbsy’s Gully, the privacy between campsites and the cattle coming past each day. Lots of birds and we also saw a goanna come down to the dam for a drink. Laura was a very welcoming and friendly host. We will definitely be back. 10/10

Quiet location, easy to access level camp. Well maintained. Shame the creek was a bit overgrown in this hot summer season.
We could hear a few cars and the campers at the other site occassionally but only because the area was so quiet. Mark was very helpful and communicated well.
