Widgee, QLD · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
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.”

Always love our time at Hopevale! Mountain View is a beautiful, private site. We loved the wallaby mum and baby that hung around most of the weekend! The site (and the campground as a whole) is really well maintained, loved the low firepit for optimal heat. Jason and his family are great hosts. A truly peaceful weekend away!

We looked for a place close to Brisbane for our shakedown trip in our new van. Tremaye was gorgeous, we fell in love with the beautiful green landscape, fresh air and scenery and immediately felt it was worth a longer stay. So we're planning a return already.
You'll find a good choice of sites, mostly private and all with very well maintained, lush green grassy sites.
Neil was very generous with a stock of fresh avocados and checking in on us to see if we needed anything. We're very grateful for an excellent stay, thank you.

We absolutely loved our time at the Hopevale Adventures Windmill hollow site. It was an amazing trip from start to finish. The site itself was incredibly clean and well-maintained, giving us the perfect balance of a rustic adventure with the comfort of a spotless, private setup. It was the ideal spot to unwind with the family without any distractions. We'll definitely be back!

Neil and Joss were most welcoming! The free avocados were a treat. We camped tucked away in one section of the avocado groves and it was beautiful. Thank you both for the hospitality.

Our 6th time here, and it is always as good as the first. This time we were created by a family or deer in the neighbouring paddock, which we had never come across before. Just wonderful. Thanks Shane!

A fantastic spot for our two-night off-grid shake-down with our new caravan! The hosts were very friendly, meeting us on arrival and showing us to our site.
The site was level, well maintained and had beautiful views across the avocado farm and rolling hills. The drive in and out was an added bonus, giving us the chance to test our tow vehicle and caravan on some varied terrain.
A peaceful, scenic place to stay, and exactly what we were looking for. We’d happily stay again and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing off-grid camping experience.

Lovely property with very nice Camp-site. We stayed at Mountain View. A lovely little glade under the trees by the creek (dry in winter). Peaceful and relaxing. Jason greeted us and was lovely. We did two of the suggested hikes which were great fun and the dam looks awesome for a summer swim. Nearest mobile reception is 20mins away at Widgee servo... which has a lovely little booth style Cafe. All round awesome visit and will definitely come back! Thank you!
