Hogback is a 2000 acre nature refuge and run as a cattle operation, emphasis in sustainability, in native forest. This property is the perfect getaway, and a photographers dream, you can do as little or as much as you like. The seasonal creek draws the wildlife to the area making this a birdwatchers paradise, sit back and watch the wedgetail eagles soar as the red-tailed black cockatoos serenade the afternoon away. This unique property has inland and coastal fall making it home to several ecosystems, including the semi-permanent waterfall. If you're looking for a bit more than the usual campsite then bring the gold pans and the detectors because we are located at the base of the Mt Rawdon gold mine. Many a yarn will be told of the gold that can be found in the hills around. A fantastic place to bring the family and the 4 legged friends (on leads as this is a working property). We also have a small barbed wire paddock available for horses by request. BYO horses and yards available at RV sites only. We look forward to welcoming you to Hogback. Please note there is no mobile reception - except up the hill. No toilets. BYO amenities and leave no trace.

Hogback offers a peaceful escape into nature, where guests are met with scenic views and a tranquil creekside setting. The hosts, Blodwen and Col, are warmly praised for their friendliness and hospitality, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Many visitors appreciate the isolation and abundant opportunities for exploration and relaxation, be it through hiking, swimming, or simply unwinding by the fire. However, a few guests noted challenges with navigation to the site, suggesting a need for clearer directions.

Hogback By the Creek (Tents/Swags)
We recently had a fantastic time over the three days and two nights we stayed. If you are looking for space, peace and quiet, there is plenty of it here. The drive into the property is scenic, we saw a calf being born on the way in, lots of cattle, bird life including an emu & chick and horses. There's plenty to see and do, lots of wild life all over the property. Col and Blodwen were amazing and very friendly, made us feel welcome and at ease during our stay. There is plenty of camping area for larger gatherings or multiple groups. There's a RV site also for anyone to use. The directions to the property were easy to understand and if you have questions they are eager to help out. We missed the rain to get the creeks flowing but it didn't disappoint. We will be going back, most definitely. Not forgetting our two dogs got a very well deserved time away also.

Hog back Creek Camp
Tent · Group trip ·
Hogback By the Creek (Tents/Swags)
Hog back creek camping was a beautiful tranquil spot that offered a lot of relaxation as all you had to do was sit by the fire and watch the bubbling Brooke run by…, no phone service which is perfect for a weekend away. Plenty of firewood and shade from the trees on the camp and enough room for three groups of campers in your party. Keep your rubbish out of reach of the visiting farm dogs at night or you will need to clean up the mess they leave. Another note is the google maps says you have arrived about 5k short and you need to take the low road (watercress road) when you get to a Y junction (don’t go right, stay left) and keep going even though it looks a bit sketchy… you will get to a gate that has a Hipcamp sing and HogBack…. Only need to go another 2?k from there to meet up with your host who is lovely…. We will be back!

A great insight into the challenges faced on a working cattle property in rugged country. Plentiful wildlife if you explore and look hard. The interaction with the horses and dogs will put a smile on your face. The real deal with great hosts Blodwen & Col that everyone should experience.

Couldn’t find it - ended up at the mine and had to turn around. Had no reception to send a message to the owner or call. Did not expect it to be so difficult. There is no road sign or directions for the property. Ended up camping on someone else’s cattle property by mistake. What a pity, was so looking forward to relaxing in a natural setting for 1-2 nights.

Hogback RV spot in the paddock
never really got to stay the directions were hard to follow we ended up going twice. the first time we went we couldn't find the area that night the host rang to see where we were we explained that we didn't know if we were in the right area as there was no signage. we returned 2 weeks later and the host was going to meet us but that didn't happen we travelled further along the track until we got to a locked gate we managed to turn around which was very hard having a hybrid camper on tow. we returned to the area where the host was to meet us and waited and no one turned up. it was very disappointing payed the money to stay and did 2 trips from Gladstone. it was a waste of money and time. they need to have more signage to show the way.

We really enjoyed the peace and quiet of Blodwen’s place at Hogback Creek, the campsite by the creek was perfect for our setup, we went horse riding on the second day and loved the experience Blodwen gave us. All and all we will be back and look forward to catching up with Blodwen and Col

Thank you Blodwen for a great back to nature experience. Eveything was as you said and i thoroughly enjoyed my days there. Really loved robbing your lemon tree on my way back to camp after my long hikes and enjoyed the few chats we had. I would definitely recommend your place to anyone that really wants to get away from it all. Best wishes to you
