5.2km from Lockyer National Park · 5 sites · Tents, RVs · Helidon, QLD
Welcome to “Karinya” which means peaceful and happy home. We are delighted to share our property with those that appreciate nature and want to take some time out amongst the gum trees. We are on a koala and wildlife corridor so respect for our wildlife as well as our domestic livestock is essential. We are conveniently located just off the Warrego Highway but once you set up camp, you will feel miles away from anywhere. Relax at camp or wander down to the creek to swim, fish or kayak (if the seasons are favourable); birdwatch, hike or mountain bike along the ridge; wander our flower field (seasonal picking available at additional cost); visit with the cattle and miniature ponies; stargaze and enjoy a camp fire (if there are no fire bans). If you want to explore the region, we are only 18klms from Toowoomba or Gatton and you can slip up Springbluff to easily access Highfields/Crows Nest area. Plenty of space to choose your camp, with very limited numbers accepted. Potable water available but Council requirements mean you must be fully self contained. Nearest dump point will be Gatton Showgrounds. The criticism of our space by some campers has been the nearby railway line. We have become immune to it but for some the passing coal trains is annoying. They are sporadiac - sometimes frequent, other times not. If you don't like trains, perhaps Karinya is not for you :( Leave no trace.

We have a variety of campsites to choose from. . Camping is presently basic as we are building it up and is better suited for campers with fully equipped 4WD. Not all sites have toilets we ve now 3 toilets 1 bottom space 1 mid and 1 at top . Some campsites are more secluded than others, some have toilets some dont and of course great views. The kids will love toasting marshmallows around the campfire in the evenings. Sit back, relax and gaze at the stars. Pets welcome. The property is hilly and may be unsuitable for camper homes. No harming the wildlife, our wildlife is harmless if you do not provoke it or threaten it, Please use water wisely . There are dams and water holes and drains on the property as it is a working farm.

CURRENTLY CLOSED. We are a small 107 acre farm on the Great Dividing Range, a 10 minute drive from Toowoomba. Hopetoun Hills is a tranquil place to relax with water ducks, kangaroos, wallabies and all sorts of birds including the wedge tail eagles that come back to nest every year! Sadly in the drier months, our dam may not be full and the grass not green! YOU MUST BE FULLY SELF CONTAINED. You MUST have TOILET (that you take with you when you leave), and SHOWERING facilities. If you do not have these then we are very sorry but we can not accommodate you, and if you do arrive and don't have these facilities we can't allow you to stay. This is a health issue for other campers, ourselves and our stock. Our property is not suitable for young children due to the creek, dam, electric fencing and stock. We welcome dogs, although they must be kept on a lead and/or contained for the courtesy of other guests, and we have livestock such as cattle, calves, horses, a donkey and a bull who don't take well to strange dogs. There are a few places you may choose to camp and the spacious room allows privacy if you wish to have early nights/early mornings and not be too close to others. We don't allow party groups/parties due to the courtesy of other campers and we do ask that you remember; this is a farm not a caravan park, there are cattle and horses. We can provide potable water for campers staying more than a few days, or travelling on the road. You will require appropriate water jerry cans/drums or we can fill your tanks up directly from the shed. In the warmer months you can sleep with windows, doors and hatch's open in the tranquil country setting. Your caravan is not visible from the road, or accessible without passing the main residence if you wish to tour around our beautiful town and outlying area's. We're less than a ten minute drive from Kmart / Coles / Woolworths, although when you're here you would never know! There is so much to see in and around Toowoomba and the Darling Down's, from coffee shops, mural walks, bike paths through the beautiful parks and much more. We don't accept check in's after dark, so if you are going to be late please contact us with the mobile number provided within 24 hours prior to check in.

Directions and communication were clear. Price was good. Surrounds were beautiful. Fire pits for each site and options on where to camp within each site were good too. It was peaceful. Pretty. Inviting. I would stay here again for sure! The goat curry was so yumm and good help when I made enquiries about my food intolerances. I got to camp in a thunderstorm and the place was even more beautiful the morning after. There was one goat who was very friendly and I enjoyed watching the shaggy cows stand in the creek and the kids chase each other up the banks. This was a very good experience

We had a fantastic experience camping at Savvy Creek Farm (Sunrise site)! Our host, Ben, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The facilities, including the bathroom and the pool, were clean and well-maintained. There were designated areas for campfires, with firewood available for purchase (self-service), or you can collect your own. We also loved getting to interact with the farm animals, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The location is great since it's close to Toowoomba, so if you need anything it’s just a quick trip into town. Overall, a wonderful stay and highly recommended!

My wife and I had a fantastic 2 night stay in our caravan at Savvy Farmstay. Ben and his family were wonderful hosts and so helpful as we were unfamiliar with the local area. Was a relaxing farm to stay at seeing lots of young piglets and lambs in their pens. Small baby chickens roaming around free. Walking the bush trails around the dam and creek were fun. Thank you Ben, Jess and children.

Ben & his beautiful family were nothing short of the most wonderful hosts. On arrival they met us, including the dog 🤣 where we were parking our van. Explained where everything was and open for us to use the pool if we liked. Ben text me the following night asking how my husband was as he went in for surgery that day. I was so appreciative to know he cared to make contact and check in. Our van and belongings were safe and we were also told we could have a fire if we felt we wanted one. Ben also helped me to hook up the van on our day of leaving as my husband wasn’t able after surgery. I was in a spot of bother after needing a jack and a power pack, Ben and his kids come to the rescue. Could not have been more grateful for his kindness and support during our stay. A huge ‘thankyou’ to Ben’s Camp for allowing us to stay in a safe and caring place while my husband was in hospital. We will be back again Kind regards Cheryl & Clarrie Sellars

A fantastic camp-site, perfect place to unplug the world in the aussie bush for a perfect time of peace and quiet, free from traffic noise, noisy barking dogs and everything else the city throws at you..and just under half an hour from toowoomba.. The amenities block is a perfect mix of rustic meets 5 star.with the indoor luxury bath and shower and the very rustic outdoor hot shower, the perfect spot to enjoy nature...both short and long walks on offer, each with its own rewarding views..the host was fantastic making sure your privacy is assured....loved my stay and could not recommend this any higher for people wanting privacy and seclusion....

We loved camping at Savvy Creek! Sites were large and private. Ben took us on a tour of the property and our kids got to feed all the animals, which was a highlight. Having the spa was amazing, along with the kids playground set up so they could keep themselves entertained for a while. We'll be back!

The best camping in Lockyer National Park, QLD guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure through the untamed wilderness of Lockyer National Park. Traverse remote sandstone gorges and eucalypt forests, home to vulnerable wildlife. Engage in exhilarating bushwalking, and 4WD or motorbike touring across this scenic landscape.

When to go

The best time to visit Lockyer National Park is during the cooler months, from April to September, when the weather is mild and conducive for exploring. Summer can be quite hot, making activities during the midday challenging.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you're prepared for remote bushwalking with adequate supplies and a first-aid kit.
  • Check for any park alerts before your visit for the latest information on closures or safety issues.
  • Accessibility may be limited in some areas; plan accordingly if you have specific needs.
  • No bins are provided, so be ready to take your trash home with you.
  • Respect the park's wildlife by not feeding them and keeping a safe distance.
