140 acres of beautiful pastured hills and horse paddocks overlooking the spectacular MOUNT WALSH NATIONAL PARK. Close to town, yet secluded enough for privacy, serenity and relaxation.
August to December each year is foaling Season; watch mares foal during the night, or wake to a fresh newborn foal of a morning.
5 mins to Mount Walsh National park where the bushwalking opportunities are endless.
If you are after mountain views with a touch of the equine lifestyle, here it is!

John and Lyn’s land feels peaceful, spacious, and very well cared for. What really stood out was the quiet natural setting and the sense of privacy—you feel properly immersed in nature rather than in a crowded campground. The hosts are warm, welcoming, and respectful of your space, which makes the stay comfortable and relaxed. It’s a great spot if you’re looking to unwind, enjoy the outdoors, and experience genuine hospitality. Enjoyed a nice hike in the morning.
There are quite a few nice trails for walking, strolling, or hiking.
John gave us a nice tour around the property.
We would love to go there again and spend more than a couple of days next time.
It was the best way to start the new year and I really needed it after working the busiest time of the year.
The best way to recharge and really appreciate the serenity.
Thank you, John.

We had the most beautiful stay at Big Rocks Hip Camp for New Year's Eve. Peaceful, spacious and genuinely special, it’s one of those places that instantly helps you exhale.
The setting is beautiful – quiet and natural so you feel immersed in nature without feeling crowded. It was ideal for our kids, who had space to explore and just be kids, and equally perfect for our dogs, who were very much living their best lives. 🐕🌿
John and Lyn are the kind of hosts that make a great place exceptional – warm, welcoming, incredibly accommodating, and clearly passionate about sharing their little slice of the world. Nothing was too much trouble, and their care and thoughtfulness really showed.
If you’re looking for a calm, family- and dog-friendly escape that feels both restorative and memorable, Big Rocks Hip Camp is an absolute gem. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already planning our return. 💚

Pretty much plug in the utopia falls rock pools from the Maryborough side and follow that in the dirt road past the brick utopia hut and a place called reeds residents, follow that road down a fair way till just past a creek crossing (was dry when I went)

We enjoyed the friendly atmosphere initiated by John.
Lot's of room for us in the Main Camp.
My 7.7m long Mitsubishi Rosa (bus to motorhome conversion) handled the interesting track in from the main road without any issues at all.
I quite like this park and look forward to future camps there.

We loved the peace and tranquility of this place. You will never find a packed camping cause Wayne takes care of this land and the people that come here to rest in nature.
Kitchen is fully equipped and bathroom are in great conditions.
Rock pools are really close from here and I highly recommend to summit Mt. Walsh. Enjoy your stay as we did!!

Perfect spot to camp if you’re visiting Mt Walsh! Close to town and a short drive to the National Park. Uninterrupted view of the mountain and countryside. Nathan and Byrdie are both lovely and welcoming. 10/10

A real bush camp but with the bonus of a toilet. Plenty of space to spread out. We went on a hike following the 4wd and dirt bike trails, with gorgeous views from the perfect vantage spots. No problems with access to the property. Will definitely be going back in the future

I enjoyed my experience at the camp. With the wide property it was easy to spread out and have your own space to enjoy and be peaceful. Bonus for having a toilet and a great communal space if needed. Loved seeing the animals roaming the property.
Will be back again! Thanks for having us John and Lyn

Had the best time camping with friends and little ones. Our dogs were welcomed, and had the best adventure travelling with us. The stars were beautiful at night which made the experience even more wholesome. The farm animals around including the baby lambs and a friendly horse were a bonus.

We had a great weekend camping here. Peaceful and quiet. We were lucky enough to have the entire space to ourselves. Rustic facilities and a fabulous host. Wayne was lovely to have a chat with and left us to our own devices. We will stay again
