The campsite is situated on the beach, sheltered by the sheoaks in the back dunes. At the rear of the campsite lies a freshwater lagoon, locally known as the keyholes.
Currently, there are four sites available to be booked. There is a camp kitchen with a two gas burner, all pots and pans, plates and cutlery with table and chairs to sit at. There is also a big esky there to use for either your food or drinks. Fresh water is provided in twenty litre drums.
The bush shower works on the keg being heated up just like a kettle. Once it is hot then a nice warm shower is to be had to wash off all the salt from the ocean. There is also two compost toilets for your convenience.
A unique feature includes the opportunity for surfing, fishing, and swimming in your private lagoon. A short drive will take you to Point Lookout. 10 minutes and you are at the pub mixing with the locals.
Access is via the beach only and tides are a consideration. Please check "Point Lookout tides" on Willy Weather. I don't normally travel on the beach if the tide is over 1.5 metres.
A 4 wheel drive vehicle is required. Camper trailers can be brought in as they are light. Caravans are not permitted due to the tight turning circles.

Kerry Valley Secret - Stockyard Creek, Kingfisher and Platypus Campsites in the Scenic Rim are exclusive bush campsites - once you have booked no-one else will be able to camp at that site - and they are perfect for groups!
The Stockyard Creek Campsite is situated on the babbling Stockyard Creek and there is a short walk to the bigger Albert River waterhole.
This pretty spot features Silky Oaks and Ironwood trees, views to Luke's Bluff and Ding Bing falls in Lamington National Park, has plenty of shade for tents and a huge space for caravans and camper trailers to turn around in
Family groups love the site for the babbling but shallow child friendly Stockyard Creek - perfect for paddling and playing in.
The Kingfisher and Platypus Campsites have larger waterholes than the Stockyard Creek Campsite, are great for fishing and swimming as you wander the 2km of river frontage . They both have easy access off the main Kerry Road.
Friends love our campsites for catch ups, the bird watching, small historical or nature walks around the property and of course the cool waterholes in the Albert River.
Other groups use Kerry Valley Secret as a base camp for hiking adventures in the wilderness end of Lamington National Park.
Bring your togs and floaties to cool down in the waterhole on the Albert River.
Don't forget the marshmallows to roast on the fire at night (firewood provided).
Binoculars and boots are a must for bird watching and exploring our walking tracks through the forest.

We absolutely loved camping at One Tree Hill! The property is beautiful and so well maintained. The sites are spacious and make you feel like you’re the only one there. Guy is an awesome host and was really helpful. We LOVED all the rescue animals and seeing them get their morning and afternoon feeds each day. We can’t wait to go back!

Campsite 3 was an awesome site. Just metres away from the Billabong where you could go for a dip to cool off. Horses kept watch across the water from their paddock. Pretty spacious site, although there was only one other camper. 100% would recommend, nicely cared for site by Simone. I shall certainly be back with some more friends soon!

We had such a peaceful stay here and honestly didn’t want to leave. The property is beautiful, with plenty of space and a really calm, relaxing feel.
Camped here with my two dogs and it was perfect for them, open space to explore, quiet surroundings, and they settled in so easily.
The views were stunning, especially during sunset, and it was just one of those places where you can fully switch off and slow down.
We’d definitely come back again 🐾🤍

We had a group of families with kids and Dogs over the Easter break and it was a fantastic camp spot. It has everything for the parents and kids, Nice flat ground to set up and a great spot on the creek for the kids to spend all day playing around which gave us adults to be able to take in the peaceful surroundings and watch the world go by listening to the running creek. Having this camp site separate was great as we had heaps of space for the caravans and for everyone to kick a footy and a game of cricket not having to stress about cars and other camper driving through. Great to have the toilet on site and great camp fire area overlooking the creek and to watch the stars at night. We will definitely be back as its so close to us yet a world away when your camped up. Thanks Patrick and Tom for a great spot and the great communication.

We enjoyed Camping at Riverside Campsite. It was a quiet, private campsite, which we love. It was in a picturesque location and very well suited for a 2WD or AWD. It was also centrally located to enjoy the beaches and waterways of Coolangatta down to Kingscliff. Alana was a great communicator but also gave us full privacy. Perfect camping site.

Booked last minute and on a public holiday, Guy was a very responsive host and was there to see us check in. We stayed at the sunset ridge site which was a private, very well kept nature retreat, we missed sunset but waking up in the sunny morning overlooking the mountains was beautiful. We also got to be apart of feeding all the rescue farm animals he has which was my favourite part of the stay. Couldn’t recommend this hipcamp more!

What an unbelievable location! Only 5 mins outside of Beaudesert but you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. We had heaps of space and privacy, literally could only see the main house about 300m away. Hot shower and toilet. The wildlife was incredible, horses, alpacas, roosters etc and guests have the opportunity to feed them.
Guy was a wonderful host, very accommodating and replied straight away.
