The Cooke Family welcomes you to “Hopevale”. A beautiful 113 acre property bordered by Wrattens National Park at the edge of the world in the peaceful Widgee district of greater Gympie. Jason, a landscaper by trade, and Jacinta a teacher by profession, met many years ago at a national Christian youth conference. Four beautiful children later and many years down the track, they bought Hopevale as a blank cattle fattening property in 2018. After much hard work, they have made it what it is today, with plans to continually improve. We have different camp options available, one of which is set up for those guests also wanting to stay with horses or just have a larger group booking. Guests will have access to a toilet and shower throughout their stay which is within walking distance from each of the campsites. Campfires and pets are welcome. The property has only had 4 farming owners in its 110 odd years since it was first surveyed and selected in 1915. The Hillcoats, Bishops, Cotters, and now the Cooke’s. The families over the years have used the property for timber getting, dairy, beef and small cropping. The property is geologically rich with volcanic soils, sandstone escarpments full of caves and overhangs. The mighty Wrattens Falls sits to the back of the property in the National Park and is a sight to behold in full flow. It feeds the head waters of the western branch of Widgee Creek which meanders through the property. The subtropical dry rainforest clad mountains are dominated by the majestic Bunya and Hoop pines and are a testament to what once was covering the entire property before being cleared for farming. Remnant riparian creek lines are botanically rich and diverse holding Red and White Cedar, Teak, Silky oak and many other coveted timber trees harvested back in the day. There are many species of animals and birds that call Hopevale home. From water dragons, frogs and fish in the creeks, monitors, wallabies, deer, koalas, possums and phascogales in the eucalypts. Red-back wrens, pardalotes, rainbow bee-eaters, finches and quail call the open grasses home while whip birds give their iconic call in the forest. Above, birds of prey ride the thermals of the valley looking for their next meal. “We have been blessed beyond measure with a small slice of God’s wonderful creation that we would love to share with you.”

Big Fig Camp
A group of friends and I came up from Brisbane and stayed at Big Fig Camp for the weekend. I can’t recommend this campsite and host highly enough it’s everything you’d want in a camping experience. We especially loved the watering hole and diving board. The views were stunning, and the night sky was so clear we could see the Milky Way. Hot showers and clean toilets were the cherry on top. Great spot—I’ll definitely be back.

Amazing getaway. Our site was so private, we didn't need to see another human if we didn't want to. The plot was ENORMOUS and even though there was no water running, being next to the creek was lovely. The kids spent hours waterhole jumping in and playing around, but we think the dog loved the freedom of running in the HUGE fenced space the most! A VERY steep descent at the entry point was the only worry we had ... but we made it and it was worth it! Instructions excellent. Host was friendly. We will be back.

We stayed at the Big Fig site at Hopevale Adventure Camping (Widgee) and had such a great experience. The scenery is absolutely stunning, with ⛰️ Mountains surrounding the property and a really peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. The Big Fig site itself was well maintained, spacious, and clean, with plenty of room to set up comfortably. It felt private while still being easy to access, and the whole property had a very family-friendly, welcoming vibe. We loved seeing the wildlife, as well as the cattle and horses around — it really added to that authentic country feel and made the stay even more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend this spot if you’re looking for a quiet escape in nature. We’ll 100% be back again.

Big Fig Camp
The campsite was an absolute dream, we didn’t leave Hopevale at all throughout the weekend. The Big Fig was particularly a great spot as we were walking distance to the toilet/bathroom block, short walk to the swimming dam and the walks. The spot is also secluded and very well maintained. Jason was really nice and up for a chat, we loved our time at Hopevale and would absolutely recommend it!

Our group had a lovely stay at Mountain View site which definitely has the best view. Camp site was well maintained and had incredible shade throughout the day. The kids loved riding bikes around to the other empty sites to explore and play on all the different swings. We did manage to get up to the hidden cave which was a mission but totally worth it. Heaps of fun. Would love to come back when creeks are flowing.

The most wonderful campground. Quiet, scenic, shaded and extremely spacious with much to do on the property. The swim dam is wonderful in the afternoons with a lot of shade, a kayak and a platform to jump from. Dark, still nights (the occasional grunt from the bulls), magical starry skies, a campfire… I would change nothing! Thanks for a wonderful week, a true reset.

Big Fig Camp
What an adventure! The site was pristine, the little creek running beside the site was just so beautiful. The lookout, the waterfall and the swimming hole were simply stunning. If you are nervous about taking kids - don’t be! So much for them to do! There are even pool noodles for use at the swimming hole, a rope to help climb a big tree at the site and I saw a rope swing at the little fig site. And if you forget your glasses and miss the big 4WD only sign while going to the lookout, don’t stress! The host, Jason, is more than happy to come do a cheeky morning rescue with a laugh. The facilities were clean and easy to access, the map was easy to navigate and they even go as far as putting big pink markers on the rocks and trees at the waterfall so you know which way to go up and down. The entire site also felt safe. As a solo traveller, trusting your gut is a must and I would absolutely come back with just myself and my 4 year old and recommend stunning camp to everyone.

Jason's place was spectacular. It has the beauty of the surrounding area one would expect off grid (small mountain, bush, creek and lots of spaces. It would have been perfect had water is flowing on the creek. Jason did advice us prior, so issue to us Lastly, the amenities are kept cleaned and we'll maintained. Highly recommended.

We stayed at the Big Fig site at Hopevale for 4 nights and had a really nice, peaceful stay. Jason is a great host, friendly and easy to deal with and the site itself felt private and quiet which we really appreciated. There was heaps of wildlife around too, lots of wallabies, cows wandering past, plenty of birds and we even spotted a snake on our last night which made things interesting. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn’t swim in the dam but we chose to do the hike out to the hidden cave instead and honestly that ended up being more fun and a great little adventure. Overall it’s a lovely spot if you’re after some time in nature and a quiet place to switch off. We really enjoyed our stay.
