Tinara was a great place to camp on my way to exploring the Bunya Mountains area. I wanted something more secluded than other campgrounds and I found it here. Its roughly 5kms from the nearest town Maidenwell, which is small but has a pub and general store. I camped right next to the shed and firepit. Its worth noting that the fence surrounding the shed area is electrified (to keep the animals out) so caution needs to be taken but you dont need to be restricted to that area. This time of year (November) the paddocks had serveral newborn calves and and some friendly ponies and cows which loved a pat. The night skies are amazing from this location and there is a lovely waterhole not far down the road to cool off in. Enjoyed my night here.

If exploring the South Burnett region is on the cards then do yourself a favour and stop in at this great hipcamp. When you arrive at the big steel gates you head straight up the hill to the campsites of which there are 5 to choose from. The incredible views will take your breath away as a sea of patchwork greens greets the eyes. The sites are level although one or two may require a small amount of levelling. This is a dose of cattle farm life at its best and Kate is true country character born for the roll as host with her contagious enthusiasm and love for her two boys, property & livestock (and she can tell a yarn or two about her droving days!) I chose the site with the large firepit which Kate intends to turn into a communal firepit in the future. The views are incredible from all the sites and you can expect nature to put on a show come dusk and dawn. lots of walks and wildlife to see and the Bunya Mountains are only an hours drive from here. Great spot for kids to roam free. Highly recommend this Hipcamp, absolutley loved it. Thanks for the laughs and your warm hospitality Kate, I will be back.

This part of the world is truly breathtaking. Surrounded by misty mountains and a creek running straight through the property, you couldn't ask for a more picturesque campsite. I stayed in the quaint rustic Hutt which Jackie and Ken will be making available soon. It had everything you could want including a shower & toilet and a wood fire (the bed was so comfy). There is so much to explore in this area and Frog's Hollow is a perfect base or if you want to stay put and explore the farm there are many spectaular hikes to keep you occupied. There are several camping sites all by the creek including a large campsite for big groups at the back of the property. The hosts have plans in the making to build a shower/ toilet block...always a bonus! You couldnt hope to find warmer helpful hosts than Jackie and Ken. I will be back. Highly recommend this listing

I Loved my stay at Rangeview. Being the only camper there, I'm not sure I could have found a more peaceful spot. Ian and Trudy were such wonderful hosts who showed genuine country hospitaity and I was treated to a tour of the property by Ian in his fun Polaris. There are many walking trails on the property and Ian is happy to point you in the right direction. Lots of wildlife so bring your binoculars . There is a lovely creek that flows near the campsite with a small waterfall. For a taste of life on a cattle farm with warm country hositality this hipcamp is hard to beat.
Thank you Ian and Trudy, I'll be back!
Highly recommend.

Ormeau Hideout is a great little stop over for those passing through but wanting to vist the Gold Coast theme parks. This is an option to rest up in privacy without the hassle of a busy caravan park. Here you have the use of the pool and a large firepit with seating all around . The campsite is at the rear of the property and has limited tent sites as the ground is slopping however, a small set up is fine. Camper trailers and caravans should be able to level up okay. The pool and the close proximity to the theme parks including the Gold Coast Wake Park, Movie World , Wet N Wild and Dreamworld is the big draw card here. Campers need to be self sufficent.

If you are looking for something a little different then a trip to Russell Island might be in order. A short ferry ride from Redland Bay sets the Island vibe mood and Alans property is a stone throw from the ferry stop . We chose the caravan option however you can also camp on a grassy flat area. The van is perched right on the waters edge with a view of the bay and is equipped with all the essentials including cooking facilities, toilet and hot shower. It was clean and comfortable and we were treated to a welcome basket of locally made and grown treats by lovely local Elishia. (handmade soap was a standout) There was also some insect repellent (essential) and assorted games. Alan has electric bikes and kayaks on offer and if fishing is your thing bring your rod and you can fish directly from the pontoon in front. Alans property is close walking distance to everything you need, IGA supermarket, Bottle shop and café. You can also get a meal at the bowls club (bit far to walk but Island taxis are $5 to anywhere on the island) . Alan was a great host and even gave us a quick tour of the Island and accommodated any requests we had. There's plenty on offer here or if simply watching the ebb and flow of the tide with a glass of wine is your thing then paradise is found. Highly recommend
Tips- go hard on the mozzie repellent, bring binoculars (lots of birdlife) and come with an empty esky . Your dollars help this warm and friendly local community.

A lovely tranquill creekside setting. Beautiful property with camping right on the creek. The site is private and off the main road with a few spots to choice from that are all flat and grassy. Fall asleep to the sound of a babbling brook and crackling fire ... ahh the serenity. So much to explore in this area with an entrance to lamington NP at the end of Christmas Creek Rd. You are in the heart of grazing country so plenty of animals to see and beautiful country scenery. Christmas creek cafe is short 5min drive down the road (open sat &
Sun)

Very short late night stay but beautiful view of the mountain.

Wow what a fabulous Hipcamp with the most incredible views. Cant recommend this place enough. The first glimpse of this site will take your breath away and it only gets better as you futher explore this site. You will need a 4wd to camp as the drive down is extremly steep, easy access to the river for swimming and kayaking. Great fire pit and porta-loo and nice flat grassed area to pitch up on. Bonnie was lovely and extremly helpful. Loved the swing chair right on the rivers edge, such s peaceful place to soak in the sunsets and the sounds of the birds. 100% recommend.

I so enjoyed my overnight stay at Lake Hagislea Farm. I camped with just myself and my labrador Benson, he spent most of his stay in the dam itself!! Bring your Kayak or SUP and make the most of the lake and pontoon. The sunsets over the water are exceptional and so is the birdlife so grab a cold one and soak it in. Campsite was shaded from the afternoon sun and is grassed with a huge firepit. There is a hobby farm a short distance away with baby animals - an added bonus for families with young children. The morning mist over the lake along with the birdsong and kangaroo spotting makes its a truly unique campsite (you might get lucky a spot a hot air balloon too!) and all not far from Brisbane. Ange is a warm and friendly host and was helpful in everyway. I would definitely return again.
Thanks Ange!
