Located just 40 minutes from the Gold Coast and an hour from Brisbane CBD, our property is the perfect retreat for families, couples and friends seeking a quiet, nature-focused getaway.
The Natural Experience
Immerse yourself in our thriving local ecosystem. The property is a haven for native wildlife; keep a quiet eye out for our resident platypus in the creek, or spot kangaroos, wallabies, turtles, and native birdlife throughout the day. As the sun sets, the bush comes alive with the sounds of owls, possums, bandicoots and the crackle of a campfire (permitted in designated firepits, subject to local restrictions).
Creek-Side Relaxation
Cool off in our dedicated swimming hole—a beautiful, natural spot perfect for a refreshing dip. To protect our delicate aquatic environment and our resident platypus, please note that fishing is not permitted on the property.

This campsite is a serene escape nestled by a trickling creek, offering spacious, private sites surrounded by nature. Guests consistently praise the clean facilities, including individual toilets, and the welcoming hosts. Wildlife is a highlight, with frequent sightings of platypus, turtles, and a rich array of birdlife adding to the charm. While a few have noted the cost, the tranquility and beauty of the setting make it a favorite destination for many campers.
The camp spot is great. They have portaloos for each site and they are clean. The creek was very refreshing and cool to swim in. Unfortunately we didn’t spot any platypus but the lookout is an amazing view. I felt a bit ignorant. Not having looked up that there was a fire ban but the hosts acted quickly and were very polite. I look forward to revisiting
Nice quiet spot with a beautiful creek running alongside. Saw the kangaroos frequently and were happy with the set up (fire pit, toilet and picnic table). Definitely would come back!
Really nice place, very quite and beautiful. Make sure to bring gazebo as there isnt much shade. The turtles are so cute. Robert is very nice and so welcoming
Stoney Camp was a great little spot. It felt so private, tucked in the forest along the creek. You could hear the water running at night, which was so calming. It’s a beautiful place to relax and recharge. Perfect for a romantic getaway or even hanging out with friends. Highly recommended.
Great location. We enjoyed out private site at Stoney Camp. Having a clean toilet was a bonus. The grandkids loved the spot and the swimming hole. Robert was a wonderful host. Would happily stay here again.
Absolutely beautiful we loved every minute was so private so peaceful so beautiful and having toilet really helped inground fire pit seen a goanna had a lovely swim and picnic just can’t fault we will be back 100 percent
Such an amazing location and layout. Camped with my best mate and we had the Mulberry tree patch all to ourselves. Enjoyed our stay and a highly recommended stay. Robert was very accomodating, thanks for having us :)
We loved our stay on this property. It is peaceful and beautiful, and our kids loved exploring the creek and spotting turtles, platypus, and wallabies.
Easy, Quiet and relaxing! Fed the turtles and then heading to the swimming hole for the day. Plenty of room for the kids to play and handy having your own personal toilet for each site
Platypus hole camp site, was a nice quite retreat for a couple of days.
Unfortunately didn't see any platypus, but there was plenty of birds and other wildlife to spot and identify, to keep the kids entertained.
The swimming hole was refreshing for a dip in flowing water.
The toilets were in close proximity to the site, and were clean, ready to use.
Highly recommend, will definitely be planning another trip out there again very soon.
Great spot! Low platypus is a fantastic spot, grassy, flat and awesome views.
Only downside is that it’s right near the platypus viewing area so if you want privacy this might not be the spot for you.
Beautiful, peaceful camping spot! We stayed at Stoney Creek Spot and absolutely loved it. The campsite was right beside a lovely trickling creek, surrounded by nature and beautifully secluded. There was plenty of wildlife around, including lots of birds, kangaroos and even a cheeky bandicoot that got into our bread overnight! There was also a lovely area to swim in the creek. The toilets were clean, and the host was incredibly kind and welcoming. Overall, a wonderful stay and we’d happily come back again!
Unbelievable camp site at Stoney Camp. So private and several spots to choose from to set up the camper trailer. Running water right next to camp was amazing to listen to and swim in. Very quiet and relaxing camp site.
Beautiful view of the mountain. Nice flat campground. Very relaxing, serene campsite.
We had a picnic next to the swimming hole and it was a perfect getaway.
Thanks Pumpkin Patch, we will be back
