Well set out camping area. Plenty of grass due to recent rain. Quiet, good place to get away from the city life. Creek was flowing enough to sit in and cool down.

Good spot to camp. Nice and quiet. Area nicely grassed and mowed,fairly level . Unfortunately no campfire. Total fire ban. Didn't miss it. Creek was running enough to go sit in. Had rain second night. Definately will be going into our favourite's list to return.
Saw an echidna, wallabies, galahs, kookaburras.
Plenty of area for kids to run around in.
Just a word advice though: if you don't know how to drive on soft river sand, don't venture there.

A great view days stay in our caravan. Large space with a toilet you can use. Grass was dry. Creek wasn’t really flowing so couldn’t swim unfortunately. A decent drive into Airlie, but Proserpine was closer.

Only regret with this site was not having stayed there longer! Easy check in, was met by a lovely couple helping out on the farm, plenty of space, water available and nice walk by the creek. 100% recommend :)

Great host and an awesome location.
Very well looked after. Would absolutely recommend that anyone stay a few nights and cruise around the property.
Great swimming locations and lots of local animals. Close to the whitsundays locations as well.
Everyone was so friendly.

Blackiron Hipcamp is a hidden gem just off the Bruce Highway, easy for any 2WD to reach. It offers everything from luxury glamping to simple tent sites, with plenty of space for caravans—no reversing or unhitching needed! Set along a clear, winding creek, it’s great for fishing or just relaxing by the water listening to the birds and the gentle flow.
We usually travel in our caravan but treated ourselves to the Kingfisher luxury glamping tent—what a delight! Private, peaceful and perfect for a romantic getaway. The wood-fired outdoor spa was amazing; we lay under the stars, glass in hand, just soaking in the moment.
Hosts Ben and his father were wonderful—friendly, genuine people who couldn’t do enough to help. Their warmth really made the stay special.
The main Blackiron campsite is large and ideal not just for campers but also for group gatherings, family get-togethers or work events.
All in all, Blackiron Hipcamp and the Kingfisher tent exceeded expectations—peaceful, beautifully kept and full of heart. We can’t recommend it enough!

This is such a great spot. Right beside a lovely river and even though the water was lower than the owners had seen before, it was still plenty to have a dip. The kids and dog loved hanging out down there and they enjoyed the sheep on the property. There was heaps of room for kicking the footy and we even had a family game of softball. Brilliant spot, lovely welcoming hosts. Would definitely recommend and will be back!

This is our second time staying at Ben's property with our kids and dog. The river way may have changed following the previous wet season but this ment new places and swimming spots for us to explore. There is plenty of space between sites and fire pit scattered throughout.

We had such a wonderful stay at the Kingfisher Cabin @ Black Iron. From the moment we arrived, it felt like the perfect place to switch off and recharge. With little to no phone reception, we were able to really disconnect from the hustle and bustle and just soak up the peaceful surroundings.
The cabin itself was cosy and comfortable, with everything we needed for a few nights away. We were greeted by friendly sheep wandering around the property, which added such a charming and homely touch. One of the absolute highlights was the outdoor shower and the incredible fire bath, both such unique experiences that made our stay feel extra special. Sitting in the warm bath under the stars is something we’ll always remember.
We loved spending the day by the creek, enjoying the quiet and watching the sunset in the evenings. It was the kind of stay where time slows down, and you get to really appreciate the simple things,fresh air, nature, and a sense of calm.
Overall, it was the perfect getaway spot, and we left feeling relaxed and refreshed. We’d absolutely recommend the Kingfisher Cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful escape, and we can’t wait to come back again!

Absolute Gem of a Spot!

We had a wonderful overnight stay and would highly recommend this spot. It was easy to find, with a beautiful open paddock setup that felt truly peaceful and relaxing. The water was crystal clear, perfect for a refreshing swim and our dog absolutely loved having plenty of space to run. A handy garden tap made it easy to wash dishes.
We also purchased some firewood, and Ben, the owner, generously delivered a large supply directly to our site and stopped by for a friendly chat even though he was not feeling his best. His effort and hospitality really stood out.
We would happily return and are already looking forward to our next visit.

They have thought of everything for this glamping experience, what an absolute ripper spot!!!

Great spot for a stress free night away! Access to the creek for afternoon dip and adventure. Everything was thought of - music speaker, card games, mozzie spray & marshmallows! Fire heated bath was unreal at sunset! So quiet and peacefull. Great friendly host!

Are you kidding?! This place sent us to heaven and back. The outdoor tub was sensational, and it kept hot all night long! We sat in there for hours watching the sun set, sipping wine, sending the birds to bed and star gazing. This glorious place has everything you need - we just wished we could stay more than one night! There’s also a little creek that feels like your very own that you can walk down to for a day time dip. Highly recommend 🍃

Nicely spaced out and very peaceful. Ben isn't extracting the urine with his prices, unlike many other hipcampers. We would definitely stay again.
