Enjoy a convenient and relaxing base to discover the best of Hervey Bay at our 150-acre cattle grazing farm located just 3km outside of town, with plenty of space for campers. To access the farm, turn right off the Maryborough Highway into Chapel Rd, then turn right at the picnic table beside the bikeway, and do not drive over the cattle grid. The entrance is right beside the grid with reflectors on each post. If you're having trouble finding the entrance, please call Ray on [xxxxxxxx] or Judy on [xxxxxxxx]. We offer numerous camping sites on cleared land lined by trees, near to our gully and seasonal creek. Each site is private and offers plenty of space. Campers must be self-contained with their own camp toilet, but there is a 24/7 dump station just 2km away. A stone's throw from the campsites is access to the mobility corridor/bike path, which takes you straight into Hervey Bay and continues all the way past the shops to Urangan pier, offering 15km of ocean frontage to explore. Our farm is located about 2.5km from both hospitals (private and government) for any care that you may need. All specialists and consulting facilities are very convenient. Next door to the campsites is our fantastic local cafe, The Depot Espresso Bar, open at 6 in the morning. They're happy to take orders for our campers from 5:30 if you knock! It's perfect for hopping on your bike from camp, grabbing your morning caffeine fix, and continuing on the day's biking adventure. Campfires are permitted, but please BYO firepit, and there is plenty of fallen timber you are welcome to collect and split yourself. Pets are welcome too! Kids under 5 stay free and don't need to be included in the booking group count. Check-in is welcome after 9 am and you can depart anytime.

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Campers visiting this site near Hervey Bay will find a large, flat area perfect for setting up camp, with the bonus of being close to town. Many enjoy the peacefulness, with cows as neighbors, and find the site's proximity to a cycle and walk track a great perk. While some mention the tranquility, others note the road noise and a few permanent campers as less ideal aspects. Overall, it's a convenient spot for those looking to explore Hervey Bay and its surroundings, with friendly hosts adding to the welcoming atmosphere.

    Lovely camp just on the outskirts of Hervey Bay. Cycle/ walk track right out the front. Nice and peaceful bush surroundings with only the cows for neighbours. Definitely will be back.
