"Arcadia"

27km from Rockhampton · 3 sites · Tents, RVs
Our property "Arcadia" is located at Moongan, which was once a bustling Railway Station at the top of the Rack Railway. "Arcadia" is just over 2 acres with a nice flat camping spot beside the seasonal creek. You will be camping right where early settlers once camped and watered their draught horses in bygone days. Teamsters would gather here and collaborate to join their teams together to traverse the steep Razorback bringing supplies to the gold mine and its workers. Behind the homestead the land rises steeply to overlook the valley below and offers nice views for sunset gazers.
We are at the very start of a permaculture makeover, with the design phase still in progress. Our business is named Moonrise Organixs and we have a produce stall at the front gate with an ever increasing range of chemical-free products. We have an infant orchard, mandala veggie patch, tea garden, poultry and a small grass arena. We are a kid, dog and horse friendly property!
There is an unofficial rail trail nearby and lots of tracks for horse riding, hiking, rock climbing and motor bike riding.
The quaint Gold Mining town of Mount Morgan is steeped in history, with a full suite of facilities and is only 5km away. Rockhampton is 25km and Gracemere 15km away. If you are interested in the history of Moongan, just strike up a conversation with Angie and she will be glad to share what she knows.
Please note: Mount Morgan is situated at the top of the great Dividing Range. There are two ways to approach Mt Morgan from the east - up the windy range road A3 Burnett Highway or up the straight and steep (17% incline) Razorback Rd.
Our property is located at Moongan just at the top of the steep Razorback incline. USE LOW GEAR from the bottom as it gets steeper towards the top. Directions from Bouldecombe: 4km west of Bouldecombe, turn right onto Poison Creek Rd. Follow until the end (4km) then turn left onto Razorback Rd. In another 4 km you will reach the steep incline and our property is at the top.
Despite the address being Leydens Hill Rd, the driveway is actually accessed off Razorback Rd. Don't turn down Leydens Hill Rd, especially if you are towing as this is a narrow road and turning around can be difficult.
There is a pit dunny outhouse but no shower. We offer a 10amp outlet only. Please come prepared with whatever equipment is needed to convert to 15amp if required.
Water is our most precious and limited resource so please arrive with full tanks and adequate drinking water for the duration of your stay. We are in a dry period right now so it is hot and brown. This is a leave no trace site. Please take all your rubbish with you when you leave.
If no one is home to greet you please just choose a site in the front driveway paddock which suits you. 😉 We won't be far away.
Come in peace, stay in harmony, leave with a full heart.

We loved our stay at the veggie patch. The amenities are spectacular! Easy access for caravan and plug into power. We had some beautiful company from the two dogs. Our kids adored all the green frogs at night. So quiet and peaceful. Wish we could over stayed longer.

The Old Veggie Patch at Laurel Bank Farm was the perfect place to be based for a few days to explore the greater Rockhampton area. The amenities are really something. Jo's directions were very clear and her level of communication surrounding our booking was exemplary.

Really lovely spot, stunning view of the sunset and there were beautiful birds flying around the camp. The showers were a god send, really nice and just what was needed after the drive!!
The directions to the camp are spot on and the welcome and tour around was really appreciated (Poppy the dog was so so cute!)

We had a really nice time at Laurel Bank! It was our first time camping at an australian farm and it was just as beautiful as we imagined! We especially enjoyed the beautiful sunset, the calm atmosphere and the very warm welcome of Jo, Dave and the lovely dogs!
If we ever get back to this part of Australia, we certainly come back here again!

The best of both worlds! A short drive out of town and you’ll be on a farm stay that feels entirely out of the way. You’ll likely have plenty of space with limited other campers, the showers and bathrooms have had loads of love and care poured into them to make your stay super comfortable, and your hosts are a fine blend of welcoming, chatty and friendly.

Plenty of flat ground - lots of space - close enough to Rocky to go in for dinner but far enough away to get a good nights sleep! Lovely bathrooms. Friendly hosts. Funny and friendly dogs - great for some paw hugs!!
