Welcome to Clancy’s on Clarendon, a brand-new farm retreat focused on regenerative farming. Located just 3 km from the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, we are constantly improving so you can relax and enjoy nature.
We offer spacious power and bore water sites for caravans, motorhomes, big rigs, fifth-wheelers, buses, and tents.
The communal fire pit is the perfect place to meet fellow campers, relax, and try your hand at open-fire cooking. For a private experience, you can bring your own fire pit.
Amenities are situated near our residence at the shed, offering hot showers and flushing toilets for your comfort.
We encourage you to bring your own drinking water as we run on bore water. Please be responsible and take all rubbish with you. If you need a dump point, we can point you to local ones.
You can recharge your electric bikes at your site after a day on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail. Nearby attractions include Atkinsons Dam, just a 5-minute drive away, and Wivenhoe Dam, only 10 minutes away. There’s plenty to explore and enjoy during your stay, so why not bring your boat?
Your review after your stay will help us improve and give future campers an idea of what to expect.
Come and immerse yourself in nature while supporting our efforts to protect the environment. We look forward to welcoming you to Clancy’s on Clarendon.

This camping spot is amazing!
The camp site is close to the road, but not visible from the road and has minimal noise from traffic. The track down is steepish, we have 17ft & 18.5ft full size off road caravans, towed with a 4WD in 4low we had no problem getting in or out. There is a very large level area perfect for caravans. This private one site gem is right next to the river, it offers all our favourite activities, swimming, fishing & kayaking, there are some shallow spots but was still great fun, our grandson loved the rapids. There is plenty of room for kids to ride their bikes.
We loved the large established fire pit.
The host Luke touched base before our visit and gave me a run down on everything we needed to know, which was great. The property is well maintained, hats off to you Luke.
Those who are with Optus may want to invest in a Starlink as there is no service.
We would rate this Site No1, it is definitely on our list of places to revisit, loved it!

Guy’s land was a great spot to unwind and enjoy nature. What stood out most was the peaceful setting and how much space there was to spread out and feel truly secluded. We enjoyed feeding the animals and guys and his kids hospitality —a perfect site for disconnecting and enjoying the outdoors.

Would have liked a bit more shade at the site and a bit more water in the creek for the kids to play in but overall a lovely site and stay.
