Welcome to our 9 acre Hobby Farm Stay.

Or, if you just want to relax under the mango trees, we totally get that too :) Our geese and ducks and chickens are hand reared so they are not aggressive at all 😃

The campsite is situated on the beach, sheltered by the sheoaks in the back dunes. At the rear of the campsite lies a freshwater lagoon, locally known as the keyholes.
Currently, there are four sites available to be booked. There is a camp kitchen with a two gas burner, all pots and pans, plates and cutlery with table and chairs to sit at. There is also a big esky there to use for either your food or drinks. Fresh water is provided in twenty litre drums.
The bush shower works on the keg being heated up just like a kettle. Once it is hot then a nice warm shower is to be had to wash off all the salt from the ocean. There is also two compost toilets for your convenience.
A unique feature includes the opportunity for surfing, fishing, and swimming in your private lagoon. A short drive will take you to Point Lookout. 10 minutes and you are at the pub mixing with the locals.
Access is via the beach only and tides are a consideration. Please check "Point Lookout tides" on Willy Weather. I don't normally travel on the beach if the tide is over 1.5 metres.
A 4 wheel drive vehicle is required. Camper trailers can be brought in as they are light. Caravans are not permitted due to the tight turning circles.

This was the perfect place to camp! We live in Brisbane and it only took us 30 minutes to get there. We didn’t have to contend with, highways, or Easter weekend traffic, yet it still felt like we were completely out in the country.
The amenities were FANTASTIC!!!!!!! So well built. Clean. Inviting. They had lots of very well thought out inclusions such as a bath, free fire wood, running tap water. Literally the kitchen sink!!
It was such a beautiful property too. With lots of amazing wild life. We saw a sugar glider, wallabies, eagles. It was so very peaceful and private.

Our camping experience was great and just what we were needing for our first family camp!
The property was beautifully positioned with plentiful space in the campsite. We loved that the kids had so much space to run around in and play. The owners, John and Kim were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this hipcamp for many reasons:
- good location
- great atmosphere
- hosts were so kind and friendly
- kids were awesome and friendly
- things to do in the local area
- area in the middle of the campsite had a small children's play area which was a meeting point and a big hit with the kids
- the kids enjoyed the tranquility of canoeing in the pond on the property
- the big campsite fire or bon fire on the property was a fun communal area to toast marshmallows
- peaceful area with the sounds of lively and sweet bird and animal calls filling the air
Our family would definately like to return again next year!

We had a great stay at Lakeside Camp, Beachmere. We were in Site 5, which suited us perfectly as a couple without kids — it’s a little further from the playground, so nice and quiet compared to some of the other sites.
There’s the option to fill up water on the edge of the campground if needed, which is handy. The location is an absolute gem — so close to Brisbane and just a short drive over to the beaches of Bribie Island. There’s also a small supermarket about 5 minutes away for any forgotten essentials.
We stayed midweek and found it very peaceful (though we’ve heard it can get quite popular on weekends). Loved all the birdlife around — magpies, butcher birds and kookaburras made it feel like a proper Aussie camping experience.
Would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at Middle Paddock at Private Mountain View Retreat, which we chose for our “van shakedown” trip.
From the outset, Ben was welcoming and accommodating, making us feel right at home. The property itself was beautiful, peaceful, and tranquil considering its location in the northern suburbs of Brisbane.
The location was perfect for our needs, with convenient access to Narangba, Brisbane City, Chermside Shopping Centre, and Eatons Hill Hotel, which was only a short 10-minute Uber ride away.
For anyone needing to stay close to Brisbane while enjoying a quiet retreat, we would absolutely stay here again.
