Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Mount Castle Valleys offers a peaceful escape with stunning views and plenty of privacy. Campers appreciate the quiet atmosphere and the opportunity to explore nature, with trails and a creek providing ample activities. The presence of wildlife, especially the curious cattle, adds a unique touch to the experience. While some may find the occasional visit from farm animals a minor inconvenience, most find it part of the charm.

Extras

Firewood bundleAU$30.00 per itemAt select sitesStart your trip off right with a bundle of firewood waiting for you at your camp for your first campfire. Each bundle is one nights worth of firewood. While you are welcome to bring your own wood, it must strictly be clean, purchased prepackaged wood that complies with Fire Ant legislative requirements. We are in the Fire Ant free zone of south east Queensland and take biosecurity very seriously.
Field guide library AU$10.00 per itemAt select sitesLearn about your surroundings while enjoying the peace and tranquillity of a digital free space. This book collection includes a range of field guides to help you identify and learn about the plants, birds, reptiles and insects you may encounter during your stay. To help you spot your native neighbours, this rental also includes a pair of binoculars. We ask that all items are treated with care to ensure they remain in the best condition for future campers, and that they are returned to their box when not in use. There is only one collection, so it is first booked first served. If the collection has already been booked by another campsite you will be notified and refunded the hire cost. We are eventually hoping to build multiple collections.
