Multiple natural springs exist on the property and a few small spring-fed waterholes are scattered down the cascading hills. Friendly ducks, geese, fish, horses and an abundance of native wildlife live here. This location is home to several endangered species due to being one of the last isolated pockets of rainforest in the area.

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.

Our sites are completely isolated from town, with views and not visible from the road. Sites are set among nearly 100 acres of a mix of open land and rainforest. Multiple natural springs exist on the property and a few small spring-fed waterholes are scattered down the cascading hills. Friendly ducks, geese, fish, horses and an abundance of native wildlife live here. This location is home to several endangered species due to being one of the last isolated pockets of rainforest in the area.
Sites are part of The Bush Clinic where we specialise in designing and making natural creams, soaps, teas, dodorants and other products as well as running regular Meditation courses and topics such as Energy, Frequency, Grounding and Advanced Organic Growth techniques for those wanting to join in are formally available during your stay.
We are new to HipCamp so have limited facilities at present, but they are in progress and we have loads of space per site, comfortable, and lots to offer for those wanting to reconnect with Nature. If you know what ley-lines are - this is the right place to visit ;-)

My two boys and I stayed at Tish’s Lakeside site, and had the best stay! We even extended our stay by another night because the boys were having so much fun. Tish was lovely and very accommodating.
The boys had fun fishing and kayaking in the dam. Was plenty of room to kick the ball around and play some Cricket.
We loved spotting all the different kinds of birds around in the trees, and listening to all the different sounds. It was a very peaceful and relaxing stay.
Thanks again Tish!

Nice quiet spot, good in between spot for Brisbane or Gold Coast (30 mins either way). Camping areas aren’t huge so be mindful pending size of set up. No amenities but grounds are well kept. We got a bit lost getting in and signage wasn’t easy to follow.
House on land is relatively close to camping areas, so best suited for a relaxed stay as not to bother residents - they are super lovely!

Although different from the photo’s we viewed the place was beautiful. We like our privacy & this place was gold! We camped between two other sites- one we couldn’t see & the other approx 200 metres away. Daily visits from the horses was extra special. Dayman was friendly & we were grateful for his love of dogs. No reception- blessed to have starlink for a couple of days. We have a camper- trailer & found getting up the initial entrance was easy enough but narrow- lots of vegetation.

We enjoyed our time at Sarabah Stud. We stayed at the corn patch which was next to the pumpkin patch (I believe) and another space of land that wasn’t labelled. Sites are a fairly spaced out, but close enough to hear the other campers, if you are wanting privacy maybe try the mulberry tree spot. The toilet was clean and fresh when we arrived, and they were quick to respond when we ran out of water for handwashing.
The creek day area was a nice spot to soak up the sun and go for a dip, although the water was very fresh (cold). I’d imagine it would be perfect in the warmer months.
This place is perfect if you’re wanting to relax and not do much as there isn’t anything to do other than swim at the creek or go to the platypus viewing area and watch the turtles and ducks. We ventured out to surrounding attractions to entertain the kids.
I believed the camp would benefit from a patch of grass being mowed out and a playground, swings or something for the kids to do was placed there. It would be more family friendly,
Otherwise I would say it’s more for couples/nomads to relax and unwind.

This was the perfect place to camp! We live in Brisbane and it only took us 30 minutes to get there. We didn’t have to contend with, highways, or Easter weekend traffic, yet it still felt like we were completely out in the country.
The amenities were FANTASTIC!!!!!!! So well built. Clean. Inviting. They had lots of very well thought out inclusions such as a bath, free fire wood, running tap water. Literally the kitchen sink!!
It was such a beautiful property too. With lots of amazing wild life. We saw a sugar glider, wallabies, eagles. It was so very peaceful and private.

We were looking for a simple, close camping spot near Brisbane and were really impressed. The location is beautiful, the amenities are great, and the owners are very welcoming. Highly recommend we. we will definitely be back.

Thoughtfully spaced out camp sites, all with access to hot showers and flushing porcelain toilets!! 🚽 Some sites more secluded and private- so for those, byo shower and toilet if you don’t want to take a short walk or drive to the amenities.
Amenities were cleaned daily and always stocked with ample toilet paper and hand wash.
The camp kitchen is spectacular. Brian has made this himself and a lot of attention and care has been put into making it a practical communal space. Adjoining is a pool and a GIANT bonfire pit with landscaped sandstone blocks for sitting around the fire with large groups and a flat grassy area.
The views are lovely.
The creek is seasonal so don’t always expect fresh running water for swimming, but rock hopping and yabby hunting still provided entertainment for the kids as well as a little fossicking which produced some small pieces of petrified wood.
The beauty of this campground is that it is so close to Brisbane, which makes it ideal for quick weekend getaways without driving hours and hours. You feel very secluded and like you are in the middle of nowhere.
The grass is kept mown and the property is maintained to a high standard, as evidenced by an incredibly fast fix on a blocked septic tank. Brian had his machinery digging up the pipes and made the repairs on the spot. We will definitely be back.

Great spot so close to home (36klms!). Very well maintained with old world rustic charm original old shacks on sight and toilet & shower blocks to match. Lots of campers over Easter but were shown to a more secluded spot away from the crowds which we thoroughly enjoyed the quietness. Certainly be back.

We enjoyed our stay here. It’s hard to believe a place this beautiful is so close to Brisbane, yet it still gives you that feeling of being a long way from everything. The property has a real park-like setting, and it’s clear the owners genuinely care about the place — it shows in the details. The amenities are deliberately rustic, but clean and well kept.
There are a number of houses on the property, or you can camp in various spots, which gives you some flexibility. We did have a mix-up with our campsite and ended up next to a dusty road. These things happen, but it felt more like we were told where to go rather than given options, if we were we didn’t understand. There’s no signage as what to do when you arrive and we watched many people tentatively wander around in their cars looking for someone
They’ve only been open around 10 months, and it’s obvious they’re still getting things sorted, especially leading into a busy period like Easter. The downside for us was the noise — it’s probably the noisiest Hipcamp we’ve stayed at. There were bulldozers, bobcats, and trucks moving around regularly, and a small loud motorised cart that seemed to be running most of the day.
It’s a beautiful place, no doubt about that, and I’d still encourage people to check it out. It just wasn’t the quiet, relaxing escape we personally look for. You might have a completely different experience and really enjoy it so go!

This is a new spot on the Hipcamp scene, and to be honest, I almost don’t want to talk about it… because once word gets out, it won’t stay a hidden gem for long.
The grounds are really well kept—open, park-like, and easy to relax in. Amenities are good, and the cookhouse is a highlight with great views across the parklands. There’s also a creek running through, which would be even better after some rain, still, there are pockets of swimming spots.
A couple of things to note. Signage could be clearer—it’s not immediately obvious where to go when you arrive. Also, they use a motorised buggy getting around throughout most of the day, we found it very annoying as it disrupted the natural quietness that we tried to get away to. .
That said, they’re building something pretty special here. The people are salt of the earth folk and we found them really friendly. We will definitely be back.
