You can either relax or get out and about as we are located near the famous Sirromet Winery and walking distance to Mount Cotton’s popular Eastern Escarpment walking and biking trails and amazing views up at the summit of Moreton Bay and across to the Glass House mountains. Venman Bushland National Park is just up the road and offers great walking trails. Daisy Hill Conservation Park is also a short drive away which is a great spot for a picnic and offers mountain bike trails, walking tracks and a BBQ area. Moreton bay access is also close by with a short drive to either Victoria Point, Cleveland or Redland Bay. In addition, the property has beautiful walking trails. Campfires permitted however must be kept within the allocated fire pit and must be outside of restrictions. You must have portable toilet and be fully self-sufficient.

Generators welcomed, to be switched off between 10pm and 7am. Please be mindful of loud music after 10pm - please adhere to this request else you may be asked to leave. Unfortunately, to preserve our wildlife, no pets allowed. 4WD Required for this property. We cannot accommodate large caravans at this stage, due to the access to the site (steep gravelled driveway) and track to campsite has some bends not suitable for long vehicles) Please Note - absolutely no trespassing on neighbour’s properties, stay behind the rocks and fences and do not access the Quarry, as they have CCTV, and you will be charged with Trespassing.

Lakeside Retreat - Camp Site 1
Perfect for me ! close to work.. beatiful Dam/lake. Lots of fire wood , Friendly host (sorry tish i left a big log i firepit , haill storm put out my fire fast) Entrance or should i say exit was a challenge in a slwb van but i made it up 3 times. (6 goes) . lots of privacy and plenty of room I took a walk up to see other sites and they were just as good and secluded just no lake. Will definetly book again but this place is very populular and availability is limited plan months ahead and you won't be dissapointed . (even if a hails storm comes lol)

Been here multiple times and every time is great! So close to home but feels so far away. We always grab the middle site and it's perfect. It's a great size with ample spots to set up. The hosts are easy to communicate with and always go out of their way to help.

Excellent flat site very close to Brisbane city without the noise or fuss!! You get a little adventure driving up to the site, 4WD only! We toed our camping trailer up and had lots of space to turn and pick multiple ways to set up. Plenty of trees for shade and a fire pit set up ready to go. Tish is a lovely host and very accommodating 🙏

Great location only 5mins drive to Sirromet Winery, short walk from road to campsite for uber pickup/drop-off. Campsite down a hill so road not visible from site, open flat space surrounded by tree's. Would definitely stay again for next Sirromet concert.

A little Slice of Paradise
3 m pop-up camper ·
Tranquil Bush Retreat Camp Site 3
This is a great campsite and better than we expected, considering we didnt know if we would get our small offroad caravan into the site, but the host's were super friendly and helpfull to let us use the campsite at the dam as we wouldnt have gotten to the main campsite with the van on. It was very relaxing sitting by the dam and around the fire listening to the birds, with a little road noise at times but nothing to interfere with the tranquility of this little slice of paradise in the bush. Perfect for a weekend getaway and we will definately be back.

Overall we had a great experience! Trish is a lovely host, very helpful and informative. The property was beautiful and felt very private for the most part. We had visits from possums and even a king nosed potoroo! We were thrilled. The only thing I would take note of is that there is a bit of traffic noise in comparison to some other sites we’ve stayed at. Otherwise it was a really pleasant stay 🏕️

Great spot located just outside the Brisbane CBD. Campsites are located away from the house in a secluded section and also away from each other. The hosts are clearing their property so they also have free firewood at the moment which is amazing! Great spot and I’ll definitely be back!
