We purchased our 'block' as a rural retreat, but it's still so close to Brisbane and Ipswich. . It's 25 acres of Australian bush, home to koals, deer, quails etc Kids can enjoy a large trampoline and flying fox. Camping is on grassy flats. Space to kick a footy or play some cricket. Look for wildlife or listen to the birds. Less than a minute drive to local swimming holes A few minutes drive to Wivenhoe dam recreation area Under 20 minutes drive to Somerset Dam: It's calm, flat waters make it ideal for those who love water sports, jet skiing, wake boarding etc. Under 15 minutes drive to Fernvale for all necessities (including Woolworths). 2WD accessible Bring all necessities and leave no trace. Our property is koala protected bush. We have koalas on site. All wildlife must not be disturbed. Foraging from the ground only is permitted.

Bush camp close to dam.
Nice quiet little spot, even though it sits next to a highway, there was surprisingly little noise. Only 5 mins from Wivenhoe Dam, which is spectacular! Friendly hosts, easy interaction and access.

Absolutely beautiful place to have a nice camp under the stars next to a campfire. We had a very private and campsite in the back corner with a nice sunset view. Highly recommended.

Great spot. Just a short drive to Billie’s Bay for a swim and Fernvale for a pie. Great fire pits, plenty of spots to pitch a tent and lots of room for the kids to run.

Nice camp ground with plenty of space to spread out. We took the hill. A few spots for hammocks and a nice amount of fairly flat ground for tents and tables. Felt pretty remote despite being just off the main road. A short drive to a few of the Wivenhoe day use areas. Would definitely come back again.

Amazing Camping Spot
The Camp site was very well maintained, many fire pits to use and a place to store dry fire wood. Plenty of room for many camps. It was quiet and peaceful. Would definitely recommend to families as there is plenty of places for children to play. There are also many great walks to go on that are a short drive from the property. We had an amazing holiday
