The Stonesthrow Lower sites are close to the beautiful shallow creek that meanders its way through the property. All sites are unpowered. Access to power, camp kitchen (including fridge and water) and toilets are available at the Green Shed. Most (but not all) sites offer 2WD access yet still facilitate the experience of camping in the bush. Caravans can access some of these lower sites.

A wonderful holiday! The setting was peaceful, private, and very beautiful. The sky was full of stars and the hills were in view. The hosts and their two children were very friendly, and we felt very comfortable. Note that they have delicious sun-dried beef jerky! 😜 We will definitely come back! 👍

We had a really great time at Richard n Miranda's farm. They were very helpful throughout our stay. The farm is peaceful and it was really nice to walk up the creek with the kids and see the views from the hill. Thank you for having us, we will definitely be back.

Stones Throw was so nice from the minute we met Richard on arrival. We were escorted to our site which was very large with a couple of choices for our 14 ft hybrid van. The bird life and serinty around the property where delightful . We took a walk up to the platue which overlooks the beautiful surrounds. We would definitely recommend this Hipcamp and will return another time ourselves.

Awesome Hipcamp with awesome hosts! Easy access and an amazing spot with an elevated view. Originally I was supposed to be in the lower section but I was double booked, the hosts ended up mowing the top spot for me and it was perfect for the night. I would definitely stay here again

We had such a lovely stay here over the weekend. The property itself is absolutely beautiful — peaceful, green and surrounded by trees, with a gorgeous little creek running alongside the lower camping area. One of the things I loved most was that there aren’t a huge number of sites in the lower campground, so everyone is nicely spread out and you don’t feel like you’re camping on top of each other. We had plenty of room for our camper, the kids’ swags and our fire area, and it still felt really private and relaxed. Richard and Miranda were both incredibly friendly and approachable hosts. Miranda was absolutely gorgeous with my youngest, who happily spent hours playing around the property, including on the trampoline and playground. There was plenty for the kids to explore and do, which made it a great spot for a family camping weekend. There is a composting toilet available but no showers, so just something to be aware of when planning your stay. Firewood is also available to purchase onsite which was really convenient. There are both lower and higher camping areas. We stayed in the lower area because of our vehicle, but those with a more capable 4WD can access the higher camping area as well. It’s also incredibly convenient from the Gold Coast and very easy to find. It felt like we’d escaped into the bush without having to spend hours travelling to get there. Such a beautiful, relaxed little camping spot with genuinely lovely hosts. We would definitely come back.

Such an awesome site to camp at. Richard and Miranda are legends, the site we had was amazing, with incredible views. 4WD track up was a good bit of extra fun. Good space from the other campers as well so it felt like we had our own solitude but werent in a ghost town.

This is a fantastic place for camping and light hiking. The longer you stay, the more there is to explore. There are also many friendly animals, making the experience even more special. The hosts, Richard and Miranda, along with their children, were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The horses at the top of the property were absolutely beautiful, and the surrounding scenery was breathtaking. This was our very first camping trip in Australia after traveling from Korea, and thanks to this place, it became a truly unforgettable memory. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Australian camping experience!

We have stunning camping spots in NZ, so we were a bit unsure if we could find anywhere that matched what we are used to at home on our recent visit to QLD. We needn’t have worried after booking Stonesthrow! We were extremely impressed with everything! The camping sites were so picturesque, surrounded by trees, lovely and private, beautiful views and open starry skies. Couldn’t ask for better! Richard and Miranda and their gorgeous children were the penultimate hosts, super friendly and so welcoming. Thank you so much!!

This was our first off grid camping and what a beautiful place to start. Miranda and Richard are the perfect hosts, and you are warmly greeted at their house with kids, dogs and a relaxed and clam atmosphere. We stayed on the plateau over looking the valley and sunsets. So much space just to sit, relax or walk the valley. Free roaming horses are a beautiful addition to the experience. This will be a place we definitely come back to. Thank you

Stayed here two nights, Steve was so friendly and informative upon arrival, it was quiet when we arrived so we were given a few spots to choose from. Spaces are well spread out with land well maintained. They have 3 very friendly dogs who would roam up during the day to play with our boys making the stay extra enjoyable for them. Definitely recommend.
