PLEASE READ ALL SITE INFORMATION BEFORE SUBMITTING A BOOKING REQUEST. REQUESTS THAT DON’T PROVIDE THE REQUIRED INFORMATION WILL NOT BE PROCESSED.
When submitting a booking request you MUST include the following information: Your vehicle make and model, camping setup (tent/swag/camper trailer/caravan etc), type of toilet and ensuite tent (if booking an Elevated site) and number of occupants (adults, children, dogs).
Stonesthrow is a 106 acre rural property in the peaceful Illinbah Valley. Nestled between Beechmont and Canungra, we are about an hour (a stones throw) from the Gold Coast or Brisbane. Over time, the property has been used to farm goats, train racing camels and spell racehorses and is now a family hobby farm. We currently have three dogs, cows, horses, goats and some friendly donkeys who love to meet new people for some pats and a carrot!
The Stonesthrow Bush Camping sites are close to the beautiful shallow creek that meanders its way through the property. These sites have access to facilities - toilets, a powered shed, kettle, fridge and a sink. Some sites offer 2WD access yet still facilitate the experience of camping in the bush. THESE ARE THE ONLY SITES THAT CARAVANS CAN ACCESS.
The Stonesthrow Elevated sites are located higher up, with stunning views of the valley. These sites are only accessible by capable 4WD and require you to bring your own sealed, chemical camping toilet and ensuite tent which we sight on arrival before allowing guests access to the track. Check-in must be during daylight hours to enable safe access. Off-road camper trailers can access these sites.
Friendly dogs are welcome and must be kept on a lead when in close proximity to the cottage and other campers. Please note, the availability of certain sites is weather-dependent.
We are not a 4WD adventure park. Vehicles must be left at your campsite and NOT used to explore the property. Exploration of the property is welcome by foot or bicycle: 1.2 km from bottom to top.
Due to insurance considerations, no 'day visitors' are allowed unless they have an approved Hipcamp booking.
We are a Leave No Trace campground - ensure what you bring in, leaves with you.
All camp fires must be fully extinguished with water prior to departure.

When submitting a booking request you MUST include the following information: Your vehicle make and model, camping setup (tent/swag/camper trailer/caravan etc), type of toilet and ensuite tent (if booking an Elevated site) and number of occupants (adults, children, dogs).
Stonesthrow is a 106 acre rural property in the peaceful Illinbah Valley. Nestled between Beechmont and Canungra, we are about an hour (a stones throw) from the Gold Coast or Brisbane. Over time, the property has been used to farm goats, train racing camels and spell racehorses and is now a family hobby farm. We currently have three dogs, cows, horses, goats and some friendly donkeys who love to meet new people for some pats and a carrot!
The Stonesthrow Bush Camping sites are close to the beautiful shallow creek that meanders its way through the property. These sites have access to facilities - toilets, a powered shed, kettle, fridge and a sink. Some sites offer 2WD access yet still facilitate the experience of camping in the bush. THESE ARE THE ONLY SITES THAT CARAVANS CAN ACCESS.
The Stonesthrow Elevated sites are located higher up, with stunning views of the valley. These sites are only accessible by capable 4WD and require you to bring your own sealed, chemical camping toilet and ensuite tent which we sight on arrival before allowing guests access to the track. Check-in must be during daylight hours to enable safe access. Off-road camper trailers can access these sites.
Friendly dogs are welcome and must be kept on a lead when in close proximity to the cottage and other campers. Please note, the availability of certain sites is weather-dependent.
We are not a 4WD adventure park. Vehicles must be left at your campsite and NOT used to explore the property. Exploration of the property is welcome by foot or bicycle: 1.2 km from bottom to top.
Due to insurance considerations, no 'day visitors' are allowed unless they have an approved Hipcamp booking.
We are a Leave No Trace campground - ensure what you bring in, leaves with you.

Apart from the very narrow entrance across the culvert, we had a very quiet one night stay and loved it. Great views at the top of the campground which was nice and grassy. We bought lots of bottles of pickles, jam, olives etc. Would recommend. recommend

Had a great few days there. Great vibe.
The bath tub at our site was awesome! Tip, start the fire to heat the water about 3 o'clock. Nice and hot by sundown 😉. Relax enjoy.

A fantastic spot for a family retreat! The camping area was quite busy during our stay, but the sites are well-distributed, providing ample space and privacy. The swimming hole was refreshing, and the tree swings were a delightful touch for all ages. The friendly horse on-site was a lovely addition, especially enjoying daily treats. Already looking forward to booking another relaxing weekend in the future!

Lovely area and very well maintained campsites and facilities. Lovely area for swimming (great for dogs as well). Can fill up as there are no specific sites but we snagged a spot separated by the road so had no issues with our reactive dog and had a lot of space. Would go again!

Dan the mower man was great to have a chat to and really takes pride in the park. One of the most well looked after parks we’ve been to. Grass was kept nice and short and toilets were cleaned daily.
We’ll be back

We were lucky enough to have the entire grounds to ourselves, was great for the kids and dogs to roam free and play in the creek! Shayne was lovely and was happy to have a chat and help with anything.

Group trip
was a great spot to camp. Unfortunately, it was our fault. We camped on the wrong site completely by Accident. Did get a phone call halfway up hiking Mount Maroon and it was quite nasty especially when it was an honest mistake and we were willing to move camps. Didn’t end up completing the hike because we had to come back to move our site. Recommend to come here just make sure you read everything and doublecheck with the owner which sites are available as it was confusing and easily skipped over.
