šŸŒæ Unwind in Nature at Woodlands Farm Stay & Glamping šŸŒæ Weā€™ve spent the last 18 months transforming our 56-acre property into a space where kids can completely lose themselves in outdoor play, giving parents a rare chance to truly unwind and reconnect. If you are looking for a weekend where the screens stay off and the kids come home happy and tired, this is your spot. PAY 3, STAY 4!! If you book at least 3 nights you get 25% off your whole stay! āœØ A FULL WEEKEND OF NATURE PLAY: While you kick back with a book or enjoy a quiet conversation, the kids have a massive, safe property to explore. Your stay includes full access to everything we offer: šŸ§š The Enchanted Fairy Garden: A beautiful, twinkling space that sparks absolute magic for the kids at dusk. šŸŽØ Nature Crafts: Creative activities that keep little hands busy and focused while you enjoy some quiet time. šŸ Animal interaction : The kids are welcome to pat and feed animals at any time, and you can purchase a large feed bucket for $5 so your kids can have endless fun interacting with the goats, guineapigs, ducks and chickens. If you just can't get enough of the animals, contact us to see if we're running a farm tour on your dates where we take you behind the scenes (and fences) to meet our animals. Depending on the season this may include bottle feeding goats or cuddling baby guineapigs. These tours run based on availability and numbers so please reach out to express your interest. $20 per family (up to 5 people, $5 per extra person), includes 1 feed bucket. šŸš² Endless Outdoor Fun: Full free use of our bikes, basketball hoops, soccer nets, and a massive sandpit made for hours of building. šŸ“¶ Stay Connected: Free Wi-Fi at the Tiny House, playground, and animal pens if you need to check in or share a photo. ā›ŗ CHOOSE YOUR SPACE: The Nomad: Wide-open, extra-large designated sites designed for peace, quiet, and privacy away from the main playground hub. This is our dog-friendly loop, with amenities a short 200m stroll away. The Grove: Positioned right near the action, playground, and animals. Youā€™ll be close to our brand-new toilets, camp kitchen, and open air shower. The Circle: An extra-large, central site perfect for groups, easily fitting up to 7 campers together. Boutique Stays: We also have a cozy onsite caravan and a tiny house availableā€”just contact us for details Private Functions: Planning a gathering? Reach out to book a large private area for your group event. šŸ”„ Campfire Comforts: Every site gets a free fire drum. You are welcome to wander the property to collect your own firewood, or we can drop a pre-split bag right to your site for $20. šŸ’§ Fresh Water: Clean, potable town water is easily accessible at our communal taps to fill up your tanks. šŸ“ CONVENIENTLY LOCATED:We are just 2 minutes from the Bruce Highway, making it an incredibly easy Friday afternoon escape. Our handy location means you might hear some road noise, but it also means you are just minutes away from the local weir and grabbing fresh treats from the famous Howard Bakery! On top of that, we are a Midgee-Free zoneā€”so you can sit out by the campfire all evening without dealing with the frustrating bites common in nearby coastal areas.

Woodlands Farmstay offers a charming camping experience with spacious sites and friendly hosts. Visitors appreciate the close interaction with farm animals, making it a hit with families. The facilities are basic but usable, and while there is some road noise due to proximity to the highway, the overall atmosphere remains peaceful. Some guests noted the distance to amenities like toilets as a minor inconvenience.

Lovley hosts, Susan and her husband made us feel welcome. They came out everyday to see everyone and join in. They had some lovley ideas for the kids. Playground was a big hit for our family and we love that you have a range of bikes for the kids to ride on as most places dont and that was a must for us.

We had a great few days at Woodlands Farmstay. Our kids spent most of their time bike riding and playing on the playground with the other campers and we more than happy to spend most of their time doing so! The campsite area set up well for families and has all the necessities you need to relax. Both Sharon and Vincent were helpful and very friendly. It was a great spot to stay and we are keen to return in the future!

We loved our time at Woodlands farmstay. If we had the time we would have extended our stay. I was completely taken by the clear view of the night sky. My only feedback would be to request soften lighting for the shower. I was so excited to shower under the stars but the light was too much for me.

A Slice of Paradise

The Grove - undesignated site A
Woodlands Farm Stay is a beautiful slice of paradise. It gave my family the chance to slow down, switch off, and enjoy the simple things that matter most. Our children ran free from sunrise to sunset, fed the farm animals, explored, played and came back with dirty feet and the biggest smiles. Watching them enjoy the freedom of the outdoors reminded me so much of my own childhood - camping, making adventures out of nothing, and simply being kids. If you're looking for a peaceful escape where families can reconnect with nature and make special memories together, I couldn't recommend Woodlands Farm Stay more highly. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already planning our next visit.

We enjoyed our first visit to Susan's farmstay camp grounds. Susan is a lovely host, friendly n welcoming. We walked around looking at all the animals, along to the fairy garden in the day n night time. We had a visit from 3 curious big kangaroos this morning. We met a lovely couple camped in site 2, they have exact same names as my husband n I, that was trippy as. We gathered sticks n had a camp fire together..looking at the stars telling many stories of our travels.. I think the only thing we wished was available would be a dump point. Our toilet cassette filled on 2nd day..only place t empty is at gumtree lodge, at a cost t us or drive 20 to 30ks to Harvey Bay or matyborough n empty for free. Anyway, we would recommend staying at Susan's farmstay, its peaceful,relaxing n you do hear bit of traffic noise from highway.or the train line .but didn't bother us in any way. Shops of howard are close, visiting the witches mess shop, the bakery n OP shop was my highlight of my trip We chose to stay

Plenty of space away from other campers. Good to choose if we wanted to feed the goats and chickens, or roast marshmallows on the communal fire. There were kids bikes and toys and rudimentary playground and a fairy garden. We also had own fire pit and were able to forage for fire wood. Open skies and good times in a large space for all of our family. Definitely recommend šŸ¤—

Very nice experience staying at Susan and Vincentā€™s Woodlands HIP Camp. It was well located close to the local shops and not too far from Hervey Bay, Maryborough or Childers. Itā€™s located close to the highway, so you can continue where youā€™re going without any fuss. I canā€™t wait to come back next year and see the progress made.

Found this camp a few months ago and loved it as it was handy to everything and close to home , went back recently for a shakedown on the new van and was amazed with the work Susan and Vincent had completed. A lovely young couple with so many ideas and a lot of passion. The only worry I have is that too many will find this camp lol Wish them all the best
