We had a lovely stay in a tent in the forest. Communication was very easy from the beginning, and Ian was incredibly responsive and kind. Upon arrival, Ian kindly drove us over to help carry all our belongings and gave us a quick orientation around the tent. We went for a lovely afternoon walk to the nearby waterhole and spent the rest of the day relaxing on the deck, listening to the birds singing and appreciating the beautiful surroundings. There was also a fire pit, although unfortunately we couldn’t use it as it rained that evening. The covered outdoor kitchen was fantastic, with everything we needed for cooking, and the portable fridge made our stay even more convenient. There were salt and pepper available to use; however, there was no cooking oil, and Ian kindly shared some with us. The hot shower was an absolute bonus and something I really appreciated while camping. In the morning, we spent some time relaxing in the hammock and enjoying the beautiful sunshine. I only wish we could have stayed longer. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy nature without giving up the comforts and conveniences of a well-equipped stay.

We had a fantastic glamping experience at the Tent in the Forest! The thoughtfully designed setup makes it so easy to disconnect and just be in the moment. We especially loved cooking in the outdoor kitchen and starting our days with a hot shower in the crisp morning air. I highly suggest booking for at least two nights to fully soak in the experience.

First time Glampers 🫶
Tent in The Forest ~ Kin Kin QLD
This place is lovely and great for first time glampers. Its very peaceful and is a great spot to escape the city life. The outdoor kitchen space is very nice and extremely convenient with fresh water, stove and Fridge. The bathroom was also very convenient with the compostable toilet and gass shower. Ian has also painted spots on the trees located behind and up from the tent that lead to some secluded water holes. The walk is so nice and the water would have been incredible but unfortunately there hadn't been any rain so we couldn't swim in them. But still a lovely walk through the bush! There is a little town called Pomona that is about 30 minutes away and it has such a wonderful energy about it. I instantly fell in love with the simplicity and beauty. Make sure to pack, wood, fire starters and kindling Power banks - charge your torches and electronics. BRING YOUR OWN PILLOW, trust me. All and all, this place is great and definitely recommend.

Adored the hell out of this place, the views and the echoing silence of nature blew me away. The nature around us was pure bliss, would recommend taking a few extra solar or battery leds as it does get quite dark and you will not be able to see if the lights provided run out of power. If you are wanting a technology free getaway surrounded by nature this getaway is the one for you. Ian is very welcoming as a host, highly recommend booking through him for the perfect location!

Great spot! Lots of birdlife and wildlife. Really nice and private. Loved that it was so eco-conscious as well with the compost toilet/shower. Awesome way to truly disconnect and be in nature. Plus outdoor kitchen/bathroom :)

Rustic glamping alone and in nature
Tent in The Forest ~ Kin Kin QLD
On the slope of a hill surrounded by nature just what was described and that’s exactly what we got. Clean linen and comfy beds and all the basic utensils needed. Bring insect repellent, mozzies appear after dark. Waking up to the sound of the dawn chorus of bird song was a treat.

Amazing experience!
Tent in The Forest ~ Kin Kin QLD
That was a truly amazing experience. We absolutely loved it. We had our own private rock pool and waterfall a little hike away, a fire, comfy beds,. fairy lights and the view was beautiful. Ian the host was a top bloke, showed us around and was really hospital. I would definitely go back here and its really something you need to experience. At one with nature 😍

Beautiful location, peaceful, private. The thought and effort that has gone into creating this camp is astounding, down to the smallest details. We were very happy and appreciative. Hipcamp can be hit and miss, as we have learned, but this one is all that it promises to be, and more. Very highly recommend.

Wonderful view from the campsite across the forest, beautifully secluded and surrounded by nature. Aromatic plants all over the campsite and property, and lots of wildlife drop in to say hello. Moderately hard walk to the rockpools, make sure you bring a backpack and water for the hike. Always ask for a Thai dinner while you’re there, you will regret it if you don’t!

Tent in The Forest ~ Kin Kin QLD
We had an amazing relaxing time. A tent in the forest was just that with a lovely rustic kitchen and bathroom. We were enjoying Ploen’s authentic delicious Thai dinner when we were lucky enough to see fire flies. We ventured on the walk to the rock pools and were rewarded with a small waterfall cascading into pools it was so lovely. Thank you Ian and Ploen for sharing this piece of paradise Troy and De
