All of our camping sites are named after the roses in our gardens. There is a communal fire-pit with picnic table, but each campsite also has it's own fire-pit, and firewood can be purchased on arrival.
Guests are welcome to wander and enjoy the sights and scents of the blooms throughout the property. We have around 100 subtropical and tropical fruit trees, along with dozens of banana trees. Many of these trees bear fruit at different times of the year. You can also take out our boat or kayak on the private lake — the perfect spot to relax with a cheese platter and a quiet drink.

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.

Easily accessible via the Bruce Highway—simply take the exit at The Big Fish junction—it offers a serene, scenic setting ideal for relaxing and unwinding. Despite its peaceful atmosphere, the property is only a 5‑minute drive from a local convenience store, takeaways, and a petrol station.
We offer plenty of private, secure off-street parking with easy vehicle access directly to the camping sites. For added security, the entry gate is equipped with a keypad code, which will be provided to you upon arrival.
We feature a Bali-hut-themed setting surrounded by lush rose and subtropical gardens, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The property includes a spacious jetty overlooking a serene private lake with a majestic 3-metre-high fountain.
Additional amenities include eco-friendly toilets, a shower room, and a handwashing station — all with hot and cold running water — as well as a cosy outdoor communal fire pit with picnic tables. We also offer convenient power outlets so you can charge laptops, phones, and other portable devices during your time with us.
All of our camping sites are named after the roses in our gardens. There is a communal fire-pit with picnic table, but each campsite also has it's own fire-pit, and firewood can be purchased on arrival.
Guests are welcome to wander and enjoy the sights and scents of the blooms throughout the property. We have around 100 subtropical and tropical fruit trees, along with dozens of banana trees. Many of these trees bear fruit at different times of the year. You can also take out our boat or kayak on the private lake — the perfect spot to relax with a cheese platter and a quiet drink.

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.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the campsite.
Our son was especially excited to help take care of the animals, and we were truly grateful for how thoughtfully you even included him in collecting eggs. Thank you so much for that kindness.
After we returned home, he drew pictures of his favorite moments from the stay, and it became an unforgettable family memory for us here in Australia.
The farm is incredibly sustainable, and coming from Japan, we were genuinely impressed and inspired. Everything was clean, the site was spacious, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful.
English isn’t our first language, so there were a few moments when we didn’t fully understand the instructions. We really appreciate your patience and understanding.
We are so glad we chose to come all the way from Japan to stay here. It was truly worth it!
Thank you so much!

Lovely peaceful place to stay , the cabin is nice and cosy with comfortable bedding , shower had good pressure and toilets were super tidy … kitchen and bbq area was on point with everything you need to cook but my favourite part of the place is the fire and movie area under the stars ✨

Amazing for kids! Guy and his family are the most incrrdible hosts. Animal experiences each day including daily feeding. Swim...or mud bath by the clear running creek, collect eggs, explore, or simply sit and let the animals come to you.

We loved our three night stay at Dead Tree Alley.
Guy the host and his children were so helpful and it was great to chat while the geese, chickens, Guinea fowl, pigs, roosters, alpacas, goats, cows etc were being fed.
We will be back one day soon.
We can absolutely recommend this Hipcamp for anyone wanting to relax and reconnect with nature.
Only one hour west of the Gold Coast!!

Absolutely lovely place. Showers and toilet are very clean. The dam is beautiful and clean to swim in. Larger than I thought. They have a few canoes you can use as well which was really lovely. They allow lots of space between the sites which gives you privacy. Emma and Bushy couldn’t be more helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend this hip camp
