7.4km from Yeppoon · 3 sites · Tents, RVs
Our little slice of paradise is 25 acres, about 8 minutes from Yeppoon's beautiful beaches and islands, and 35 minutes from Byfield's rainforest!
Situated up a sealed asphalt driveway on a hill you can see the ocean and islands in the distance to the East and Byfield Ranges to the North. With the elevation a steady Easterly breeze off the ocean most of the year it keeps the property a nice temperature, almost as if you are right on the beach.
We have a range of native local wildlife roaming around, from green tree frogs to cockatoos, parrots to lizards, Goannas to wallabies.
When it comes to flora there is about 15 acres of the place which has never been cleared, containing ironbark, lemon scented gums, stringybark, and wattle trees among various other shrubs.
Being situated at the end of a no through road you don't need to worry about a noisy highway or road, all you will hear is nature and the environment. We allow small campfires (outside of fire-bans) but please be respectful and utilise the two firepits provided. Dogs are also allowed as long as they are kept on a lead, and are friendly to others as we also have 3 dogs in our yard.
With plenty of space between sites there's no need to be worried about being jam packed in like a caravan park. That's one thing we aim to avoid.
Our property is a work in progress. Having purchased it 5 years ago as a very baron and blank canvas we now have over 20 varieties of fruit trees planted over the last few years, with countless days and weeks spent landscaping, gardening and spreading topsoil for lawns. Its still far from perfect but its something we love and want to share.
There is just over 1 km of smooth gravel road to our turn off, but our driveway is sealed with asphalt and moderately steep. 2WD vehicles can make it up, it just requires a little momentum. However if you are towing anything substantial you will require a 4WD. The two sites are right up the top of the hill, but still suitable for larger vans (over 20ft) and small busses - provided the towing vehicles etc. are okay with climbing the driveway.

7.4km from Yeppoon · 3 sites · Tents, RVs
Our little slice of paradise is 25 acres, about 8 minutes from Yeppoon's beautiful beaches and islands, and 35 minutes from Byfield's rainforest!
Situated up a sealed asphalt driveway on a hill you can see the ocean and islands in the distance to the East and Byfield Ranges to the North. With the elevation a steady Easterly breeze off the ocean most of the year it keeps the property a nice temperature, almost as if you are right on the beach.
We have a range of native local wildlife roaming around, from green tree frogs to cockatoos, parrots to lizards, Goannas to wallabies.
When it comes to flora there is about 15 acres of the place which has never been cleared, containing ironbark, lemon scented gums, stringybark, and wattle trees among various other shrubs.
Being situated at the end of a no through road you don't need to worry about a noisy highway or road, all you will hear is nature and the environment. We allow small campfires (outside of fire-bans) but please be respectful and utilise the two firepits provided. Dogs are also allowed as long as they are kept on a lead, and are friendly to others as we also have 3 dogs in our yard.
With plenty of space between sites there's no need to be worried about being jam packed in like a caravan park. That's one thing we aim to avoid.
Our property is a work in progress. Having purchased it 5 years ago as a very baron and blank canvas we now have over 20 varieties of fruit trees planted over the last few years, with countless days and weeks spent landscaping, gardening and spreading topsoil for lawns. Its still far from perfect but its something we love and want to share.
There is just over 1 km of smooth gravel road to our turn off, but our driveway is sealed with asphalt and moderately steep. 2WD vehicles can make it up, it just requires a little momentum. However if you are towing anything substantial you will require a 4WD. The two sites are right up the top of the hill, but still suitable for larger vans (over 20ft) and small busses - provided the towing vehicles etc. are okay with climbing the driveway.

This was our second stay at Thyme Travellers Farm Stay and it’s been lovely to see the improvements and the hard work the hosts are putting in. They are incredibly friendly and accommodating, even going out of their way to help us with our trailer during our stay. With clean facilities, hot showers, flushing toilets and flat ground for camping, it is a fantastic space. The kids loved interacting with the animals and having plenty of safe, open space to ride their bikes. Spacious, peaceful and close enough to Yeppoon — a great family-friendly farm stay.

The best camping near Yeppoon guide
Where to go
Capricorn Caves
A 40-minute drive from Yeppoon is the oldest tourist attraction in Queensland, where bats have been living in the limestone caves for millions of years. The creatures were discovered in 1882 when a Norwegian immigrant in the area stumbled upon the caves on his way home. From there, he purchased the lease on the land and turned the caves into the attraction today known as the Capricorn Caves. Guided tours run through the caves, which are worth a visit just to hear the remarkable acoustics inside the Cathedral Cave. Stop in before settling into your Yeppoon area campsite for the night.
Great Keppel Island
Some 27 islands are set near the Capricorn coastline, including Great Keppel Island, a popular island destination just 20 kilometres from Yeppoon. Take the 30-minute ferry ride for a fun day trip from Yeppoon or opt to stay the night at a Keppel Island campsite to experience the nature lover’s paradise. On the island campers can find a choice of 17 pristine beaches—some only accessible by boat—plus a few hiking trails and plenty of wildlife both on land and in the water. Divers won’t want to miss it.
Byfield National Park
Head north from Yeppoon through farming country to reach the diverse landscapes within the 15,000-hectare Byfield National Park, which range from massive sand dunes in the south to rugged northern mountains. Camping is permitted in several areas, including Upper Stoney on the banks of Stoney Creek. Paddle upstream in Water Park Creek (another great camping spot) and stay on the lookout for wildlife like freshwater turtles and kingfishers. Trails through the park accommodate both hikers and mountain bikers.
Seventeen Seventy and Agnes Water
Named after Captain Cook’s landing, the quiet beachside village of Seventeen Seventy (1770) is a haven for caravans and campers, while nearby Agnes Water is Queensland’s northernmost surf beach. The main sandy stretch runs for five straight kilometres and is especially popular during the Christmas and Easter holidays. Be sure to make time for a stroll through the Paperbark Forest just a few kilometres outside of Agnes Water.
When to go
In the hotter months of January and February, coastal sea breezes bring temperatures to an average of 29°C around Yeppoon. Although offshore breezes can prevail, there is a greater chance of rain from November through to April. Cooler temperatures can be found from June until August, when daytime temperatures remain quite comfortable around 23°C before dropping to an average nightly low of 14°C. The best months to visit Yeppoon for outdoor activities are from late March to early May and from late August to late November.
Know before you go
- If you’re thinking of visiting the Paperbark Forest near Agnes Water, pack some bug spray for the midges and mosquitoes.
- Every year between March and June, thousands of blue tiger butterflies hatch in the area around Seventeen Seventy’s two-kilometre coastline path to the Round Hill Headland.
- Nearby Rockhampton is classed as crocodile country, so authorities only recommend swimming at patrolled beaches in Yeppoon. You can, however, safely swim year-round at Yeppoon Lagoon on the foreshore at the southern end of Main Beach. Entry to the patrolled lagoon is free.
- Byfield National Park is prime for 4WD enthusiasts—just remember to lower your tire pressure on the soft sandy trails.
