Flaggy Creek Caravan Camp is set on a 260 acre rural property set aside for wildlife offering a peaceful and relaxing place to escape the daily grind. Please read this description to the end to make sure our campsites are right for you (click show more). Our Hipcamp, (owners on site), is small scale to minimise environmental impact; we have six sites spaced well apart for privacy; each site catering up to two adult guests only (18+) and one vehicle. * Camp 5 permits 1 dog see Rules when booking; All other campsites strictly No Pets * Solo travelers are encouraged to book, many who have commented not feeling overwhelmed by large groups or too isolated. If you are booking for others please let them know they will need to set up at their booked site. Please do not invite additional guests to enter the property. You will need to be fully self-contained: compulsory own toilet, drinking water, recommended shower. Our Hipcamp is situated in a cool climate, away from the humidity of the coast. A highlight is beautiful permanent Flaggy Creek which meanders its way through the property for approximately 1 km and is habitat to platypus, turtles and an abundance of bird life (we are close to an ebird hotspot) with towering blue and rose gums. Take a dip on a hot day in one of several water holes including a large lagoon adjacent a mini waterfall surrounded by beautiful she-oaks. There are walks on mowed tracks around the property (look for large eastern grey kangaroos in the top paddock) including along a dam wall where you might spot herons or rainbow bee eaters (seasonally) and we can give you directions to a fire-trail to hike up to the Bluff. Herberton (10 mins) also has many excellent walking trails. All camp sites have their own fire pit (local conditions and/or state fire ban season permitting). We sell large crates of split firewood for $20 or you can collect your own. Please do not bring firewood for biosecurity reasons. During the wet season (December-April) we recommend 4WD to access the property as there is a concrete causeway creek crossing and on rare occasions this can become impassable with an extreme amount of rain but does go down very quickly once rain has eased. Please take care and go slowly on unsealed roads. Please ask for permission to fly drones.

The site was really flat and level, grassy and private with a lovely rainforest garden all around. Nisha was so welcoming showing us around the property and sharing lovely fresh eggs and lemonade fruit with us. There was also a lovely shelter with table and chairs, fire pit and clean private hot shower and toilet for our use. Also power if we needed and firewood. Nisha was fantastic with communication and directions and advice of places to visit in the area.

Weekend Trip to Archerview Farmstay-Wild River Camp

Unfortunately Jacob wants to charge me for a rotting sliding door that's officially given way as the shed we hired is full of mould and rotten, half smashed furniture with black grime and dead insects everywhere The shade sail will keep you awake all night banging as that's also rotten and collapsing. The oven is very dangerous rusty relic and has exposed wires and fault that woudnt stop igniting. There's exposed wires, ceiling insulating is falling down and the place shorts when you switch the lights on. Jacobs land does need a lot of work doing to it and is very noisy with dogs barking constantly. The creek was nice and we also enjoyed the fire. It is a very hard place to find even with Jacob's and Googles directions.

Great campsite, next to a creek. Access to the campsite was by unsealed road, but our 2WD rental motorhome managed the track with ease.

We camped at waterlilly site for 6 nights and used as a base camp whilst we explored the Tablelands. Big flat site with a few shade trees could easily fit 5 or so caravans. Drop toilet at the top of the dam and 2 showers about 150m walk. My 3yo loved feeding the farm animals and waking up to the sounds of all the roosters crowing. Great spot for kids run around and play or fish in the dam.
