We own 35 beautiful acres along the banks of Yabba Creek. 3 minutes out of Imbil village, 12 minutes to Borumba Dam and surrounded by State Forests.
We offer 4 sites, both powered and non-powered sites.
Nestled along the banks of a pristine section of the Yabba Creek, there are large swimming holes for all water activities and shallow rapids great for the kids to play in.
The Creek is home to an array of wildlife. Platypus are seen daily, plenty of bird life and a variety of fish and turtles. Please be aware that there is a fishing ban on the Yabba Creek between the 1st of August and the 31st October every year.
The backdrop is a large steep mountain that comes to the waters edge, which is where we created the name of our property "Yabba Ridge".
We have a variety of animals which are behind high fences, and are very unique and spectacular to look at especially at feeding time where you can get a good look at them up close.
With only 4 sites, we offer a spacious camping area, spread out all to enjoy the views of the mountain and creek.
There are clean amenities, toilets and showers, as well as running water at the powered sites.

Hopevale Adventure Camping

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.”

Kenilworth hosts quite a lot of festivals, including the Kenilworth Rodeo, so it's country living at it's best. In the opposite direction is Maleny, a trendy town, with lots of day visitors and coffee shops up and down the street. If you come in May, there's the Maleny Show and there's always historic places to visit along the escarpment with magnificent views down to the Coast.
PLEASE NOTE: FISHING IS BANNED IN THE MARY RIVER FROM 1 AUGUST TO 1 NOVEMBER ANNUALLY AS THIS IS FISH BREEDING SEASON. We also have a policy of NO FISHING at all in our section of the river.

Welcome to The Old Avocado Farm — a working avocado farm perched at 2,000 feet in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, where the elevation keeps things refreshingly cool, even through summer. The property is alive with nature — a resident platypus family calls the large spring-fed dam home, and the surrounding rainforest and orchards teem with wallabies, echidnas, and some of the most abundant birdlife in the region. Wander the rainforest walking trail, sit quietly by the dam at dusk, and let the hinterland do the rest.

Jason was a great host, facilities were great & better than we imagined. We stayed in Windmill hollow, which in my opinion is the best (super private, spacious & the furthest away from the toilets but still a very short and manageable walk - even for my grandparents in their 80’s). Due to the weather, the creeks and holes obviously weren’t running, and the dam was low but still fun to use the kayak in. Lots of cattle, horses, birds and wallabies. Saw one brown snake on the drive in (super far away from the actual property but on the gravel road coming in - so drive slowly!) stars were incredible at night and generous amount of fire wood. Can’t wait to come back when it’s had some rain!

Thank you for a lovely long weekend. Beautiful green grass, private and quiet in the Grove Hideaway. A warm welcome and personal delivery of some fresh avocados was very much appreciated also.

Hopevale Adventure Camping was an amazing place to stay and easily one of the best Hipcamps we’ve visited. There are five sites to choose from, and we stayed at the Mountain View site, which had an incredible view of the hillside.
Jason was a great host, friendly and helpful, but also happy to leave you to do your own thing. He was always on hand if we had a question, needed a bit of help, or wanted some extra firewood.
There’s plenty to do without feeling like you need to be entertained, swimming in the dam, bushwalking, exploring the property, or simply sitting back and enjoying the serenity. It’s also not too far from Gympie if you want to head into town for a look around.
We stayed with our two kids and had an absolute ball. The hot shower and long-drop toilet are also great extras, making it a really comfortable option whether you’re camping in a tent, camper or caravan.
We’ll definitely be coming back!

What a place, we stayed at Windmill Hollow, Currently very dry, but a beautiful place, clean toilet and shower, great little damn to swim in and a nice walk to what would be the water fall when flowing. Great walk to the hidden cave, which was really enjoyable and a pretty good workout. Can’t wait to go back after the summer rains as the place will be even more beautiful and I think the water fall will be amazing in the wet. Directions were easy to follow, Jason the host was great and very responsive. We will be back.

We absolutely love Brooyar Station! We've been a couple times and it's been exceptional each time. The playground is brilliant for kids, the petting zoo has gorgeous animals you can easily interact with anytime, the night sky is full of stars, the creek is a great way to cool down and the sites themselves are spacious. A couple nice local pubs nearby too for an easy meal! This is a great place to get off grid and recharge!

Lovely camp, so peaceful, sites were big so not too close to your neighbour.
Great caretaker, opened up the shop for us to get an ice lolly after a hot walk!
Would definitely camp here again .

Neil and Joss were wonderful hosts on a beautiful avocado farm. The setting was peaceful, with lush green grass, an incredible environment, and plenty of space to stretch out among fellow campers. We were especially grateful for their courteous farewell gift of a few ripe, ready‑to‑go avocados. Thank you so much for the stay; highly recommended, and we can’t wait to return.
