Kippa’s Rest

99%
(101)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 11 · Vehicles under 10 m
Kippa’s Rest offers a private, large semi shaded site for tent/camper trailer or caravans. The site is big enough to turn and manoeuvre comfortably. Kids will love enjoying the creek, drop downs, sand or water. This is strictly a leave no trace site. - Current Creek Condition. Creek waterholes 40% no creek flow - 1/10/25 Enter the site gate and the land drops down to a level area that is sided by Sandy Creek on 2 sides. Sandy Creek is seasonal, when it’s full there will be water wrapping around site unfenced. Please monitor children. As with all our sites, a fence and gate is in place to keep the cattle from straying around your tents etc. 2 fire pits to choose from with a hot plate that remains onsite. Self contained toilets are required by campers, no pit toilets accepted. The camp is approx 400m from other camps and is private, closed in by trees and the undulating ground. Access is best by a 4wd but if your feeling adventurous, a 2wd will generally be without issue also. Firewood can be collected from any timber already on the ground, you may bring axe/chainsaw. There is a container placed along the track which generally has firewood for sale in bags- operates an honesty box located on-top. $15/bag. Bottle Tree Hotel is a couple minutes away by drive and well worth a visit. Brisbane Valley Rail Trail closest access point is on Borallon Station Rd, 2 minutes car drive away. (If you ride to it bear in mind you will need to cross the Brisbane Valley Highway). Secluded and quiet location

Kippa’s Rest
We had a lovely little overnighter at "Kippa's Rest". The area is flat and well shaded with plenty of fallen timber for firewood. There are two other campsites within a few hundred metres, but we didn't hear anything from the neighbours, unless we were up on top of the rise gathering firewood. We contemplated a 3min drive down to the Bottle tree Hotel at Glamorganvale, but we stayed in and enjoyed the serenity instead. Lots of bird life and zero light pollution - we'll take our telescope next time.

Kippa’s Rest
Easily one of my fave spots! Tucked away & private from passerbys, creek (weather dependant, small pools atm) that surrounds the site, cattle fencing is ideal for my Dogs' post-swim Zoomies & SO MUCH SHADE from the heat 🌞 Kind Host family is happy to offer help & honour my privacy, I've only seen them a few times but have camped here dozens of times! They've put lots of work into levelling the driveways etc lately too. Jet flyovers are always cool to see & don't hear from the Dog Motel as much these days, especially in this spot👌 Check-in!! xXx

It's a beautiful and relaxing spot. We took a small group of teenage girls and they even coped well enough with the drop toilet. Haha Cameron is always helpful with any enquiries. We have now stayed at 2 of the sites and really like them both.

I stayed at Gums at Sandy Creek and loved how private and quiet it felt. The site layout is thoughtfully set up, which made it easy to settle in and fully sink into the bush sounds and scenery. Perfect for a low-key nature immersion without distractions. I set up my hammock tent and stayed dry through the thunder storm. Would definitely come back for the privacy alone.

Grand Final Long Weekend

The Party Hut
This time, I visited “The Party Hut” campsite instead of my usual spot at “The Gums.” Cameron’s sites are always impeccably maintained, which is greatly appreciated. Sadly, the fire ban prevented us from enjoying a traditional campfire during the grand final, but it didn’t spoil the fun. Both sites are excellent, making it a difficult decision on which one to choose next. Nevertheless, a wonderful experience.

This campsite was absolutely perfect. The grounds are very well maintained, everything felt thoughtfully cared for, and it made for such a comfortable stay. It was quiet and peaceful, exactly the kind of getaway I was hoping for. On top of that, the host was incredibly accommodating and had great communication, which made the whole experience even smoother. Whether you’re looking to relax, recharge, or just enjoy some time outdoors, this spot is truly ideal. I can’t recommend it enough!

Private spot with birdlife & fire p
Tent ·
Gums on Billabong
Plus: great spot with plenty of room within the camp area. Great fire pit and log seats. Lotsa fallen timber to gather for the fire. Far enough away from other camp areas to not be bothered by others. Long drop handy enough, though a gate in the fence would be helpful. Plenty of bird life and roo's morning and dusk. Table with 4 chairs under the lean-to very handy. Minus: The ground under the lean-to is bare earth. And so well trodden it is fine dust. There was a light sprinkle of rain and it quickly turned to mud. Perhaps some road base be put down and compacted to fix this problem? There was brown dust right through my set up by the end of weekend. Oh, and if you are not a fan of RAAF growler jets, then perhaps this site is not for you. Personally, I think they are amazing! Such raw power. Thanks, Cameron. PS: Hope you get some decent soaking rain and soon.

Such a beautiful little place! Great for small groups. It's quiet, apart from the occasional military plane flying over (not at night though). Well maintained. The outside wood fired bathtub is always a winner. No showers, just a drop toilet

A great spot for us for a long weekend with family at The Party Hut Great spot to relax and chill, do a few walks not far from the city. So peaceful we loved it, including our dog. Fernvale just up the road, with plenty of supplies if you need it. Amazing sunsets. We even got to see a burn off Cameron was doing at night, spectacular sight and the crackling sound of the burn off was quite eerie, but also mesmerising. Awesome to have undercover area as well as a bush loo. Fenced in area all to ourselves Perfect spot⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
