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.

Another fabulous relaxing time at rangetop farm. Between the beautiful roaming horses some more inquisitive then others there are green rolling hills that lead you out to the magnificent view through the glasshouse mountains to the ocean. Only a short drive from brisbane but I feel like I have really been away and am able to recharge the batteries.

Easy to access, great vibes from the hosts. enjoyed swimming and kayaking in the lake, and bathroom facilities were decent. I saw a friendly possum scoping out leftover food and many native birds wandering around my site. Everything seemed really well maintained, and there was enough dead branches for kindling and firewood for my two night stay.
The aspects less than ideal for me was hearing the neighbouring property (I think on the far left side of the "Lakeview" side) play loud music in the distance, and their vehicle engine idling for half an hour on Friday night. I also thought the light outside the bathroom building was quite bright and projected light that I could kinda see while in my tent. Good to know where to go but it felt unnecessarily bright.
There were huge flies to battle during the middle of the day, I guess just a good excuse to go for a swim. Something to prepare for though I'm not sure how to deter them - citronella lamps maybe?
I'd still bring my wife here for a future stay - perhaps further away from the bathroom area and other campers.

Bushywood at Woodford is absolutely beautiful! The lake is stunning and perfect for a relaxing day by the water. The facilities are fantastic — the toilets and showers were spotlessly clean, which really made the stay comfortable. Great place to unwind and enjoy nature. Highly recommend!

Really well set out campsite - a large covered area with a gravel floor and a table and chairs (a hammock fits beautifully between the posts), a big social firepit, and a separate cooking firepit (fabulous!), and don't get me started on that hot tub...

Had an awesome weekend away at Oz Sky Ranch. The sites are nice and large and spread out. There are plenty of portaloo toilets as well as access to the event centre that has $2 showers and toilets. The Dam is the star of the show. It was so nice to swim and cool down. We even had a paddle around in the Kayaks. If your really keen you can also book yourself in for a tandem Hand gliding. Lisa the host was very friend and helpful. We will definitely be back again!
