Compatible with all Type 2 charging ports (Tesla, BYD, Polestar, MG, Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi, Nissan and other EV brands). 32amp single phase. Nearby Adventures Just 10 minutes from Fernvale and close to Wivenhoe Dam, Split Yard Creek puts you within easy reach of some of Queensland's best outdoor experiences: Northbrook Gorge (22.4km) A stunning natural swimming hole and hiking destination – perfect for hot days. Note: Avoid the gorge after rain or if rain is forecast, as water levels can rise quickly and become dangerous. Fernvale Markets (Sundays) Browse local produce, crafts and community vibes just down the road. Wivenhoe Lookout Scenic views over the dam and surrounding landscape. Lake Wivenhoe (nearby) A haven for kayaking, canoeing and fishing. The calm waters (no powered boats allowed) make it perfect for a relaxing paddle or a quiet spot to cast a line. Lake Somerset (30 mins) A premier destination for water sports and fishing. Enjoy boating, water skiing, jet skiing, and fishing for Australian bass. Brisbane Valley Rail Trail Follow the historic former railway line from Wulkuraka to Yarraman. The gentle gradients make it ideal for gravel bikes, e-bikes, horse riders and walkers of all ages. Important Information Suitable for: Couples, groups, caravans, RVs, boats Not suitable for: Small children (property has unfenced creek access) A Special Thank You A huge shout-out to Mark from Stress Less Camp More for capturing the magic of Split Yard Creek: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I8ok5PyNZ0Welcome to your perfect getaway—a peaceful, scenic spot where you can kick back, relax, and maybe even forget what day it is! Whether you’re in the mood for a leisurely tour of Wivenhoe or Somerset Dams, a bushwalk adventure, some time on the water with your kayak, a bit of fishing, or tackling the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail on your bike, we’ve got you covered. Our campsite is a spacious, mostly flat grassy paddock with plenty of trees, set beside a crystal-clear, babbling creek. Just 10 minutes from Fernvale and Wivenhoe Dam, and a short drive from Somerset Dam, it's the ideal spot for RVs, caravans, and boats—no 4WD required (unless you just want to look cool). Birdwatchers, take note! You'll love wandering through the gardens with the local wildlife as your soundtrack. And on a hot summer’s day, there’s nothing better than cooling off in the refreshing, steady flow of the creek—just like nature’s own air conditioner. Feel free to fire up the wood BBQ or pizza oven, and for those perfect campfire moments, your very own fire pit awaits. Just bring your best marshmallow-roasting skills. A quick heads-up: we don’t have toilets, so don’t forget to pack your portaloo or maybe a trusty shovel if you’re feeling adventurous. Oh, and as much as we love kids, the unfenced creek means it’s probably not the best spot for little ones to run wild. Come for the peace and quiet, stay for the good vibes (and maybe a pizza or two)!
