'The Pines'

(1)
Pie Creek, QLD · 1 site · Tent, RV
Enormous Hoop Pine trees shade our 'Tall Timbers' site, but still with easy drive-through parking and set up. The fire pit area is situated perfectly to enjoy the moon rising as it crests the hills.
This site is suited to campers wanting to enjoy a bit of forest bathing and earth energy recharging. Yes...you will hear road traffic, but it is far enough away to not be invasive...but the only night lights you will see are the ones from our house and the glow of the moon and sparkling stars.
Guests are required to be self-sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. The whole point of quiet, private camping is to enjoy what nature provides.
Our farm is our home and part of our business. We're working hard to bring as much life to our farm as we can and that includes humans too. With lovely 'people free' views (apart from our farm house & sheds) and plenty of space our campsites are a convenient, easy-access option for a bit of r-n-r.
Our large dam is close by, but is not designed for swimming or kayaking sorry. Private, but not remote, perfect when you need a break, but you don't have a lot of time to travel.
There is easy access to State Forest tracks and roads for walking or mountain biking. The raised fire pit makes for comfortable camp fire cooking with the convenience of a large, solid log table within easy reach.
With care, you can easily drive through the site and set yourself up without the need to unhitch the camper trailer, then when ready to leave, pack up and gently follow the curve of the mown grass and you are on your way.
Our farm and paddocks are in the process of being restored, so we ask that you not ramble at will as this may damage recovering plant species or worsen erosion sites.
'The Pines' is a working farm and as such, we ask you to respect our space and that of our animals. We will try to not have livestock close by when you are with us, to avoid any interference ( by them or you!), but they do live here and we need to keep to their regular schedule.
Everything we do here is to make things better. More water for native animals, more plants for habitat and cooling, so it's essential that when you come here, you bring that same mindset.

It would pay to pack your reef walkers as the river is rocky in spots.
There is lots of space for motorhomes and large camping vehicles to maneuver and park. Plenty of flat spots for your tent or vehicle.
This campsite has access to flushing toilets (toilets are situated approx. 400m from the camp sites) and water (rainwater), but you will need to bring your own camping shower.
Campfires are permitted outside of fire-ban season (please use the existing firepits).
The property features a gorgeous rainforest with a walking track that you can follow safely, and you can also access the state forest next door if you're up for a bigger adventure.
Lake Borumba is just down the road which permits water skiing, boating, fishing and other water recreation.
The town ship of Imbil is only 7 minutes away where you can visit the many cafes, bakeries, The Imbil pub, Sunday markets, Produce and hardware store, supermarket, butcher, clothing shops, hairdresser, fishing supplies, Petrol station, post office and more.

There's also ample space for recreational activities like cricket, footy, flying kites, or leisurely walks.
The property is filled with the delightful sounds of nature, from wallabies to a variety of birds, with the charming chime of the Bell Bird and laugh of the Kookaburra resonating through the trees. Positioned near the river's origin in the hinterland, the river is a habitat for the platypus, Mary River Cod, and other native animals, including the critically endangered White-throated Snapping Turtle.
One of the highlights of our campground is its proximity to the river. You'll have easy access to one of two river access tracks, just a short stroll away. As you approach the river, you'll be greeted by the soothing shade provided by the surrounding trees.
The river itself offers a diverse range of experiences, from calm and shallow areas perfect for kids to play safely, to exciting rapids and refreshing rock pools for adventurers of all ages, with water depth varying depending on seasonal conditions.
For those who love water activities, our campground offers a fantastic opportunity for kayaking along the river. Explore the winding waterways, immerse yourself in nature, and discover the hidden gems that the river has to offer. It's an experience that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and connected to the great outdoors.
As an added bonus, our working farm is home to delightful pygmy goats that freely roam the property or can be found in their enclosure. These charming little creatures may come by to say hello during your stay, adding a touch of whimsy to your camping experience. It's a unique opportunity to encounter friendly farm animals right at your doorstep.
Ideally located between Maleny and Kenilworth, a visit to our campground offers a base to access the region's stunning waterfalls and walking tracks, and many boutique shopping experiences, cafes, cheese factories and wineries. For those seeking adventure, Conondale National Park provides opportunities for 4WD exploration.
Whether you're seeking a serene camping experience, exciting water activities, a base to explore everything that the hinterland has to offer or a chance to connect with nature and adorable farm animals, our campground on the Mary River has it all!
Come and join us for an unforgettable camping adventure that will leave you with cherished memories for years to come.

Pie Creek, QLD · 1 site · Tent, RV
Enormous Hoop Pine trees shade our 'Tall Timbers' site, but still with easy drive-through parking and set up. The fire pit area is situated perfectly to enjoy the moon rising as it crests the hills.
This site is suited to campers wanting to enjoy a bit of forest bathing and earth energy recharging. Yes...you will hear road traffic, but it is far enough away to not be invasive...but the only night lights you will see are the ones from our house and the glow of the moon and sparkling stars.
Guests are required to be self-sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. The whole point of quiet, private camping is to enjoy what nature provides.
Our farm is our home and part of our business. We're working hard to bring as much life to our farm as we can and that includes humans too. With lovely 'people free' views (apart from our farm house & sheds) and plenty of space our campsites are a convenient, easy-access option for a bit of r-n-r.
Our large dam is close by, but is not designed for swimming or kayaking sorry. Private, but not remote, perfect when you need a break, but you don't have a lot of time to travel.
There is easy access to State Forest tracks and roads for walking or mountain biking. The raised fire pit makes for comfortable camp fire cooking with the convenience of a large, solid log table within easy reach.
With care, you can easily drive through the site and set yourself up without the need to unhitch the camper trailer, then when ready to leave, pack up and gently follow the curve of the mown grass and you are on your way.
Our farm and paddocks are in the process of being restored, so we ask that you not ramble at will as this may damage recovering plant species or worsen erosion sites.
'The Pines' is a working farm and as such, we ask you to respect our space and that of our animals. We will try to not have livestock close by when you are with us, to avoid any interference ( by them or you!), but they do live here and we need to keep to their regular schedule.
Everything we do here is to make things better. More water for native animals, more plants for habitat and cooling, so it's essential that when you come here, you bring that same mindset.

This campsite has access to flushing toilets (toilets are situated approx. 400m from the camp sites) and water (rainwater), but you will need to bring your own camping shower.

4WD Recommended - dirt/gravel road and two creek crossings (through the creek bed) to get here.
We have a whole beautiful valley with crystal clear spring-fed creeks, patches of rain forest and hillsides covered in grass-trees backing onto Wrattens State Forest. There's 1,375 acres of land - the boundaries of our property are the ridges of the mountains that encircle us, and many rare species abound here.
This is a dog and horse friendly property but no pets allowed in the cabin. There is paralysis tick in this region - so we'd recommend treating any animal before you come and frequent checks while you're here.
No mobile phone coverage at the cabin, but there is a hill you can drive (or walk) up on the property to get phone signal if needed and we have a landline phone in our house which can be used in emergencies.

Welcome to our beautiful campground, nestled along a 450m stretch of the picturesque Mary River!
Our campground offers a long stretch of flat land, making it an ideal destination for both large and small groups of campers. With plenty of shaded sites available, you can relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings while staying cool and comfortable. There's also ample space for recreational activities like cricket, footy, flying kites, or leisurely walks.
The property is filled with the delightful sounds of nature, from wallabies to a variety of birds, with the charming chime of the Bell Bird and laugh of the Kookaburra resonating through the trees. Positioned near the river's origin in the hinterland, the river is a habitat for the platypus, Mary River Cod, and other native animals, including the critically endangered White-throated Snapping Turtle.
One of the highlights of our campground is its proximity to the river. You'll have easy access to one of two river access tracks, just a short stroll away. As you approach the river, you'll be greeted by the soothing shade provided by the surrounding trees.
The river itself offers a diverse range of experiences, from calm and shallow areas perfect for kids to play safely, to exciting rapids and refreshing rock pools for adventurers of all ages, with water depth varying depending on seasonal conditions.
For those who love water activities, our campground offers a fantastic opportunity for kayaking along the river. Explore the winding waterways, immerse yourself in nature, and discover the hidden gems that the river has to offer. It's an experience that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and connected to the great outdoors.
As an added bonus, our working farm is home to delightful pygmy goats that freely roam the property or can be found in their enclosure. These charming little creatures may come by to say hello during your stay, adding a touch of whimsy to your camping experience. It's a unique opportunity to encounter friendly farm animals right at your doorstep.
Ideally located between Maleny and Kenilworth, a visit to our campground offers a base to access the region's stunning waterfalls and walking tracks, and many boutique shopping experiences, cafes, cheese factories and wineries. For those seeking adventure, Conondale National Park provides opportunities for 4WD exploration.
Whether you're seeking a serene camping experience, exciting water activities, a base to explore everything that the hinterland has to offer or a chance to connect with nature and adorable farm animals, our campground on the Mary River has it all!
Come and join us for an unforgettable camping adventure that will leave you with cherished memories for years to come.

As a frequent visitor, I struggle to find a reason to ever camp anywhere else! It’s always well maintained, private, close enough to town, and close to the river for a dip. We will certainly be back again as soon as we can.

This was a lovely and peaceful place to stay. It was very relaxing camping by the lake and super quiet too (only nature sounds). I also loved how close it was to Peregian Beach and not too far from Noosa Heads either.

What a beautiful site, nestled on the banks of the creek with large sites. Hot showers and flushing toilets were a plus too. The farm had an abundance of animals to feed, large horned cows, emus, pigs. We will certainly be back.
