This unique 2 acre property has great access to Brisbane and the Gold Coast situated half way between. Backing onto the Albert River you can enjoy the cool breeze whilst fishing from your camp-site. Just a few doors down from the local golf course you can also stretch your legs whilst enjoying a round of golf. Given its location you are close to local shops, ten pin bowling, local taverns and well maintained parks (including an offleash dog park). Guests must be fully self contained with their own toilet/shower facilities. There is a dump point just 4 kms drive from the property and potable water is available on site if you need to fill your water tanks. Pets are allowed on leash.  An oasis in the middle of the suburbs this is a great spot for anyone wanting to stay close to Brisbane whilst enjoying easy access to the Gold Coast beaches and theme parks.Set-up down near the river bank with complete privacy on a level grassy site. Access to the river is available via a boat ramp or you can fish from the riverbank where there is a timber seating area. Guests must be fully self contained with their own toilet/shower facilities. Pets are allowed on leash.  Close to everything but set in an idealic park like location you will be able to be as busy or relaxed as you want to be.

Well kept by the river
A lovely spot by the river. A fishing area, which when the tide is in is good. Well kept and they have a lovely dog, who keeps herself to herself but is such a friendly girl.

Camping by the river
Eric’s property was amazing. Communication from host before hand was very good. He met us on the day. Showed us to the area and introduced us to Roxy his family dog who is very very friendly which made my dogs trip away even better. The site is very well maintained. Hill slopes down to a flat area right in front of the water for all the privacy you need. There is a deck down by the river to fish from and plenty of bites the entire weekend with many catfish caught. Eric was nice enough to have some firewood for us as well. Highly recommend this suburban getaway as it’s close to enough to shops and everything but feels remote. If you go when it’s raining like we did make sure you have a 4wd so you don’t chop up the grass just to take care of the property. We will be back thanks Eric and Roxy 👍🏼

It is an incredible property, with some of the greenest, most well-maintained grass I have seen on any Hipcamp property. We didn't even need to level our caravan. Very peaceful and quiet. Right on the river with excellent views. Eric was an amazing host, offering to let us dump our rubbish on the way out and top up our water tanks with free water. He even got a heap of free firewood ready for us to use at our leisure. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to unwind in peace and quiet. We had a great time. We will be back.

Great hidden spot close to Brisbane
Great little spot close to Brisbane. Was able to come for the night with my new set up and my dog to test it out. Big thunderstorm helped with the water testing. Eric met me on arrival and was very accommodating pleasant and nice. Offered me help or any equipment needed for the trailer. Offered usage of trash bin on exit. The site was lovely just by the river. Spotless clean and the grass and garden were well maintained. Privacy was good I was the only camper there that night. Lots of mozzies down by the river so bring some spray. Didn’t have a fishing rod but my dog was watching the fish jump all day and night in the river. Sounded like some biggies. Fire wood was provided on site. Small boat ramp to river that’s a bit muddy when tide is out. Elevated deck platform for fishing next to the boat ramp. Full phone signal coverage. Close to shops and highway. Prompt response to messages. Would use again. Enjoyed my stay. The question still remains. Did the camp gear hold up in the thunderstorm? Well, il just leave that there. Like the book or movie you never got to experience the end of, or an author purposely leaving that vital important information out. Let your imagination take that one. Cheers Eric. Keith and McClane.
