Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Nestled just 5 minutes from the coastal town of Elliott Heads, lies Hartwood—a tranquil 120-cattle stud and mangrove wetland boasting over 48 species of wading birds. It is located under 1 km away from the beach and boat ramp at Riverview, allowing you to ride your horse to the water or go kite surfing in the river mouth. Hartwood is a great destination for nature walks or adventurous kayaking. With 9 paddocks, we can even accommodate guest horses.

Beautiful property with lovely views. However when we arrived to the site to set up camp, it was not camp friendly as the grass was knee high making it difficult to set up. We had to get alternate accommodation due to misleading information provided.

Secluded camping
We had a relaxed stay at Hartwood farm. I was very thankful the grass had been slashed which gave you a big area to relax in. Great access to Elliott Heads and other backside towns. We stayed Easter long weekend and we were happy to be away from the crowds.

Underwhelming but has potential
This site has potential to be amazing. Just a short drive to Elliot’s Head Beach, yet space and privacy on this large acreage. A few unexpected and disappointing downfalls - the paddock it was in had knee high grass throughout. We were told there would be mown sites through an automatic message when we booked but upon arriving, it was knee high grass with cattle. There were a few tracks that looked like were mown a month or so ago. Lack of communication - we tried to get in contact with the owner just to clarify we were in the right spot and if specific areas others may have booked but no response. The only message we were sent was an auto message on booking, no other response or answer to the phone call. Cattle - totally get it’s a cattle farm, so no issue with cattle around, but they were in the same paddock as the camp sites & we would come back from being out in the day and notice muddy hoove prints over our stuff under the gazebo & on the solar panel. Probably worth mentioning on the add that the cows are in the same paddock as the camp area - as it was ok for us, but others might be more concerned and anxious about that. We ended up staying two less nights than planned as it just wasn’t overly enjoyable & with the grass so high. As it’s on a waterhole in QLD, the mozzies & miggies are terrible - so be mindful of that if booking in summer. It’s got a beautiful outlook & in a good location so definitely has potential.

Average
Was given minimal directions, and also told I will see various mown camp sites. Nothing looked mown or designated, had long grass and on a slope. decided to not stay and went elsewhere.
