2 nights at Hidden Creek Farm Qld

Fantastic off grid cam for those looking to disconnect and stare at the camp fire in absolute serenity. Great amenities, farm animals to feed and park for the kids too! Very cute and convenient store with affordable essentials. Little to no service but we loved that!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Creek Farm Qld

The Owners couldn't be more helpful, very warm and welcoming. Big open camp-sites with portable fire pits supplied, surrounded by beautiful natural bushland. We enjoyed the many walking tracks through the rainforest down to the creek for a swim in the lagoon and a paddle in the kayaks supplied. Saratoga, bass, silver perch and catfish on offer for the keen Angler. Great for young kids with a playground and animals. We loved it and will be back.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Creek Farm Qld

This quiet little campground is a hidden gem! We were blown away by the gorgeous setting amongst the trees, with a short, pleasant walk down to a creek. The campsites are perfect – spacious and not cramped at all, offering plenty of room to spread out. It has all the essentials you need, including showers and toilets, which were well-maintained. Upon arriving, the beautiful collie Mary will show you the way to your campsite and then she will be back to check on you during your stay. She is the true owner of the farm! What really made our stay special were the owners, Alex and Janita. They were absolutely the best hosts, sharing stories about the area and the farm over a beer while burning out a stump. Our daughter even became best friends with their little boy, Flynn, which made the experience even more memorable. We'll definitely be back and making this our go-to spot for quiet weekend getaways. If you're looking for a peaceful and welcoming place to camp, this is it!

4 nights at Hidden Creek Farm Qld

We loved our stay at Hidden Creek Farm. Flynn’s camp was the perfect bush camp with easy access to toilets and showers. Lots of space for the kids to run and play. Caught a good feed of freshwater prawns out of the creek. The off leash dog area and small convince store is a really nice touch. Highly recommend this stay.

Weekend Trip to Kenilworth Rural Camping

As previous reviewers have said, this is a great spot. Plenty of space between campsites and walking distance from Kenilworth. Perfect for when you want to camp, but not cook ;-) The owner Shane dropped around on our first day to check everything was good. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Weekend Trip to Yabba Creek Farm

This was a camp ground we will not forget and definitely keen to come back too. Silky oaks site was beautiful with a great view. We had good fun with the Kayaks and the kids loved the animal petting. Hosts were amazing and so welcoming. You can definitely tell how much love and care they put into presenting the property

Weekend Trip to Yabba Creek Farm

Absolutely loved our stay. Kaylea and Dean were so welcoming. Our site had plenty of space while still being secluded and peaceful. The kids loved having the creek to explore and the kayaks were a huge hit, as were the petting animals and pony rides. We can’t wait to come back!

The place is the best for camping and see the real nature. The creek beside the camping site was amazing. The ones who want to spend time with real nature, this is the best place. Toilet facilities also good and very friendly staf. Highly Recommended. ❤️🍃

Weekend Trip to Hidden Creek Farm Qld

We loved camping at Hidden Creek Farm and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. This is a great spot for a quiet break with a choice of well maintained camping areas. We chose Fraser’s Field with plenty of open area, so the sunshine could top up our solar, but Flynn’s Camp closer to the creek is a beautiful and secluded shady area. The sweet farm animals and Mary the border collie were an extra bonus. It was great to have access to a tiny onsite shop for essentials and firewood, and the basic amenities were very clean. We didn’t get a clear night sky, but I imagine the stars would be wonderful at night.

Weekend Trip to Yabba Creek Farm

Kayla & Dean are wonderful host. Site we had was nice and flat with plenty of room. The back drop of the mountain was beautiful. Kids had a wonderful time on the kayaking in the river and seeing the farm pets including the Blue tongue lizard. We definitely will return. Thank you for sharing your wonderful property.

Hopevale Adventure Camping

6 sites · RVs, Tents113 acres · Widgee, QLD

The Cooke Family welcomes you to “Hopevale”. A beautiful 113 acre property bordered by Wrattens National Park at the edge of the world in the peaceful Widgee district of greater Gympie. Jason, a landscaper by trade, and Jacinta a teacher by profession, met many years ago at a national Christian youth conference. Four beautiful children later and many years down the track, they bought Hopevale as a blank cattle fattening property in 2018. After much hard work, they have made it what it is today, with plans to continually improve. We have different camp options available, one of which is set up for those guests also wanting to stay with horses or just have a larger group booking. Guests will have access to a toilet and shower throughout their stay which is within walking distance from each of the campsites. Campfires and pets are welcome. The property has only had 4 farming owners in its 110 odd years since it was first surveyed and selected in 1915. The Hillcoats, Bishops, Cotters, and now the Cooke’s. The families over the years have used the property for timber getting, dairy, beef and small cropping. The property is geologically rich with volcanic soils, sandstone escarpments full of caves and overhangs. The mighty Wrattens Falls sits to the back of the property in the National Park and is a sight to behold in full flow. It feeds the head waters of the western branch of Widgee Creek which meanders through the property. The subtropical dry rainforest clad mountains are dominated by the majestic Bunya and Hoop pines and are a testament to what once was covering the entire property before being cleared for farming. Remnant riparian creek lines are botanically rich and diverse holding Red and White Cedar, Teak, Silky oak and many other coveted timber trees harvested back in the day. There are many species of animals and birds that call Hopevale home. From water dragons, frogs and fish in the creeks, monitors, wallabies, deer, koalas, possums and phascogales in the eucalypts. Red-back wrens, pardalotes, rainbow bee-eaters, finches and quail call the open grasses home while whip birds give their iconic call in the forest. Above, birds of prey ride the thermals of the valley looking for their next meal. “We have been blessed beyond measure with a small slice of God’s wonderful creation that we would love to share with you.”
