Fruit Farm Camp offers a peaceful retreat for mature travellers. The unpowered mown campsites are situated ajacent to a farm unfenced dam and on cleared acreage surrounded by natural bush.
After 6 months touring Queensland in 2021 with our own caravan, we decided to develop a picturesque area at the back of our land for mature travellers to enjoy.
20 Years ago the land was virgin scrub, now there are over 300 established different exotic fruit, nut, spice and bush tucker trees and plants. We use a number of different farming techniques. Our own beehives provide pollination and honey. A small farm produce shop is available.
Guests have access to a toilet, solar powered showers and the camp kitchen throughout their stay. Campfires are permitted outside of restrictions and we have firewood available for guests to use on site. There is a 1.5 km undulating bush walk on the property requiring average fitness.
We are located four kilometres from the Bruce Highway at Bloomsbury, access is via sealed road then 300m of gravel road through the farm.
We are just 10 mins from the beach or O'Connell river fishing, 1 hour to Mackay or Airlie Beach, 3 kms to the Dittman Bullarama site and 15 minutes to Bredls Wild Farm. Well behaved pets are welcome.
Extras:
Fruit tasting and guided Farm tour available when staying 2 nights or more. Honey and farm produce for sale.
Free book exchange.

Fruit Farm Camp is a tranquil spot embraced by nature, with wide-open spaces perfect for unwinding. Guests frequently mention the friendly hosts, Nick and Kaye, who share their passion for tropical fruits and local flora with insightful tours and tastings. The facilities, including well-maintained toilets, showers, and a camp kitchen, are praised for their cleanliness and convenience. While most visitors leave feeling rejuvenated, there was an instance of unresponsive hosts regarding an issue, though such feedback seems rare.
Unfortunately our stay was underwhelming, very dry, no fruit in season, so didn't get to try exotic fruits ect, pity cause that's the reason we picked this place. Also both toilets out of order, contacted the owners (who have moved on to another property) didn't receive a reply so we left a day early.
We were a group of four ladies going to Bloomsbury to do a course. It was our first hip camp experience and could not have gone any better. The grounds were beautiful the shower was hot. The GREAT Amenities were clean.
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND…
Peaceful, relaxed, large flat grassy area to park!
Very informative fruit tour and very tasty fruit to enjoy! We also had an enjoyable time around the campfire with Kaye and Nick.
Good camp kitchen and toilet/showers provided.
Thoroughly recommend
We were very happy with our stay at Fruit Farm Camp. The setting was picturesque. It was quiet and relaxing. The hosts were very welcoming and the amenities great.
We really enjoyed our time at the campsite the camp kitchen was well stocked with gas cooker and fridge kettles spare plates cups etc, the facilities toilet hot shower was awesome. We really enjoyed our fruit tasting and tour with Nick so informative and interesting. Our dog enjoyed the property especially his swims in the dam. The quiet and serenity was wonderful and time at night around the firepit was relaxing. We enjoyed Kaye and Nick joining us on one of our evenings at the firepit. Thanks guys for an awesome stay we will be back Steve and Therese
We stayed one night only, but there are plenty of things to do on the property and in the district if you wanted to stop for a couple of days. The kitchen is quirky but very well equipped, the showers were hot. Nick and Kaye were excellent hosts, we can recommend Fruit Camp Farm.
The whole experience at Fruit Farm Camp was so welcoming and relaxing. Our hosts were amazing and informative, loved the tour and fruit tasting. The drinks with the other guests around the campfire on our last night was memorable. Would definitely recommend it to anyone passing through. We will be back.
Fantastic camp that is stunningly quiet and picturesque, a great place to unwind.
Great accomodating hosts that we really enjoyed chatting to. Not a lot that Nick doesn’t know about the local flora and fauna and is more than happy to share the knowledge. 😎
Stunning spot tucked behind a farm house . Wide open flat parking areas . Really good toilet n shower and awesome camp kitchen . Great friendly hosts . Perfect for solo travellers
We had a wonderful time at the fruitfarm. It is a peaceful and beautiful place. Nick and Kaye are wonderful hosts. Nicks passion for his about 400 different species of fruits and bushtucker is stunning and he likes to share it with his guests.
What an absolute treasure this spot is! An experience like no other we've had. Kaye and Nick are so welcoming. Two amazing people doing what they love and sharing that love and passion with visitors to their property. Genuine people providing genuine hospitality. Thank you both!
I loved our Fruit Farm Camp Stay. The hosts Nick & Kaye are so accommodating. They give you as much or as little attention as you desire. The facilities are second to none. We were blown away how the owners had repurposed materials to create an amazing ensuite.
Beautiful property with all the facilities you need. Warm showers! Camp kitchen! And thanks Kaye and Nick for the cheese board and yarn around the fire.
Great spot, close to amenities. Plenty of room for the dogs to run around. Hosts and their 2 hounds super friendly and helpful. Grounds and facilities well maintained!
Thanks for the tour and the tasting. Was good to know what grows in the area. Great bush tucker. Drinks around the fire pit was great. Well done to you both on your fruit farm camp. Peace and quiet get away.
