PLEASE READ ALL SITE INFORMATION BEFORE SUBMITTING A BOOKING REQUEST. REQUESTS THAT DON’T PROVIDE THE REQUIRED INFORMATION WILL NOT BE PROCESSED. When submitting a booking request you MUST include the following information: Your vehicle make and model, camping setup (tent/swag/camper trailer/caravan etc), type of toilet and ensuite tent (if booking an Elevated site) and number of occupants (adults, children, dogs). Stonesthrow is a 106 acre rural property in the peaceful Illinbah Valley. Nestled between Beechmont and Canungra, we are about an hour (a stones throw) from the Gold Coast or Brisbane. Over time, the property has been used to farm goats, train racing camels and spell racehorses and is now a family hobby farm. We currently have three dogs, cows, horses, goats and some friendly donkeys who love to meet new people for some pats and a carrot! The Stonesthrow Bush Camping sites are close to the beautiful shallow creek that meanders its way through the property. These sites have access to facilities - toilets, a powered shed, kettle, fridge and a sink. Some sites offer 2WD access yet still facilitate the experience of camping in the bush. THESE ARE THE ONLY SITES THAT CARAVANS CAN ACCESS. The Stonesthrow Elevated sites are located higher up, with stunning views of the valley. These sites are only accessible by capable 4WD and require you to bring your own sealed, chemical camping toilet and ensuite tent which we sight on arrival before allowing guests access to the track. Check-in must be during daylight hours to enable safe access. Off-road camper trailers can access these sites. Friendly dogs are welcome and must be kept on a lead when in close proximity to the cottage and other campers. Please note, the availability of certain sites is weather-dependent. We are not a 4WD adventure park. Vehicles must be left at your campsite and NOT used to explore the property. Exploration of the property is welcome by foot or bicycle: 1.2 km from bottom to top. Due to insurance considerations, no 'day visitors' are allowed unless they have an approved Hipcamp booking. We are a Leave No Trace campground - ensure what you bring in, leaves with you. All camp fires must be fully extinguished with water prior to departure.

The Stonesthrow Bush Camping sites are close to the beautiful shallow creek that meanders its way through the property. All sites are unpowered. Access to power, camp kitchen (including fridge and water) and portaloos are available at the 'Shearing Shed' (common area). Whilst 4WD recommended, most sites offer 2WD access yet still facilitate the experience of camping in the bush. These are the only sites that caravans can access.

Stonesthrow Elevated Remote Camp
Had such a beautiful stay at Stonesthrow Elevated Remote Camp. The views from the elevated sites are absolutely stunning. It felt really peaceful and private, which is exactly what we were looking for. The hosts were friendly and helpful, guiding us to our campsite and making sure everything was all good on arrival. You can tell they really care about the land and keeping it natural and respected. Access is definitely 4WD only, so just be prepared for that, but it’s part of the adventure and worth it for the views. Loved how quiet and relaxed it was. Stayed with my two dogs and they had the best time (on lead as required), enjoying the open space and fresh air. Overall, such a special, peaceful place to slow down and disconnect. We’d definitely come back 🤍🐾

Lovely spot a stones throw from home, tidy spacious camp spot by a creek, with fire pit and short walk to toilets. My 5 year old daughter loved the animals walking about, 3 donkeys, 3 very friendly dogs, and even some chickens by the cottage, my daughter didn't want to leave!

Really nice camping! Richard is super communicative and got me on a great campsite with my mates. There are roaming cattle around, and some friendly donkeys! I didn’t have the camp toilet so didn’t go to the 4x4 spots but may come again for that. The closest campsites are the ones with composting toilets and were super clean. Still had a nice view of the mountain through the tree canopy though!

It was a great stay, I took the wife and kids and we stayed down by the cottage which was very well maintained and plenty going on with owners friendly dogs running around, donkeys walking by to feed and the camp kitchen and amenities close by. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the Richard the host was super welcoming and friendly. I would definitely stay again and keen to see some of the other sites at the top of the property.

We stayed on the elevated site, it had such great views, was a great size for a camper trailer and 2 tents. The hot air balloons taking off at sunrise was a highlight. We had such a great time, lots of walks, a nice town nearby with a great pub and cafes and the hosts were very friendly and helpful

We loved the space of our camp site and the privacy! We also had the whole area to our selves for one night which was outstanding. The common area was useful for doing dishes and the toilets were fine. The animals were fun for the kids and the walk though the property a real adventure for everyone. Can recommend and will be back.

This campsite is awesome!! It is so well maintained, has great supplies including a clean toilet and wood, and the best hosts ever! The family is warm and welcoming. We took our dog who loved the freedom and enjoyed the company of the families dogs. Highly recommend this campground to anyone looking for a getaway a 'Stonesthrow' away from Brisbane.

We loved our little getaway to Stonesthrow, the sites are large, well spaced out and maintained. My kids had an absolute ball with all the friendly animals and the family who live on site are beautiful people. We done the walk up to the top plateau and the views are stunning. My kids are already asking when we are visiting next. Thanks for sharing your wonderful property with us

My group stayed on an Elevated Site during Easter weekend. Area was private, well presented & maintained with own fireplace. From our site we had a beautiful view of both valleys. Were so grateful for the rest and serenity Stonestrow provided. Steve was wonderfully hospitalable and approachable. Highly recommend 👌
