This isn't packed-in, cramped-site camping. This is 430 acres where eleven sites sit scattered across ridge, creek, and hidden valley—each one yours alone. Self-sufficient. Private. The way camping used to be.
You drive in (4WD recommended, required in places). Set up camp where grass meets creek or mountain meets sky. Light your fire. Swim in rock pools that stay cold even in summer. Wake to kookaburras, birdsong, and the kind of quiet that makes you forget your phone exists.
Three locations. Eleven sites total. No two the same.
Mt View perches on the ridge—two sites with views that justify waking up early. The Hollow curves with the creek—four sites under shade that makes summer bearable (porta loos available). Hidden Creek hides where rock pools wait—five sites in a valley few people find.
Each Site Comes With:
Mt View
Two Sites on Top of the World
You climb the ridge. The valley opens below—green folds of land stretching to Wollumbin (Mt Warning) like the world's sleeping giant. The view goes on forever.
Two sites sit on different parts of the mountain. You won't see your neighbours. You won't hear them. Just you, the sky, and that view that makes every sunrise feel like the first time.
The Setup
Grass underfoot. Fire pit at center. Wollumbin (Mt Warning) filling your western horizon. At night, the stars blur together—too many to count, too bright to ignore. You're high enough that valley mist settles below you at dawn, turning the whole world into something out of a dream.
Perfect for: Couples who want the world to themselves, photographers chasing golden hour, sunrise watchers and star gazers.
The Hollow
Four Sites Where the Creek Bends Wide
The creek bends here—slows down, spreads out, becomes the kind of place you never want to leave. Four sites nestle into the curve, each one shaded by trees old enough to remember when this valley was wilder.
Grass. Shade. Creek running clear enough to see stones on the bottom. Your site sits close enough to hear water over rock—that constant murmur that becomes the soundtrack to everything. Morning coffee. Afternoon swim. Evening fire.
What You'll Find
- Swimming holes that stay cool even January
- Flat ground that makes pitching a tent almost too easy
- Trees that drop shade patterns that shift with the sun
- Creek crossing that adds just enough adventure to feel remote
Perfect for: Families with kids who need space to explore, groups who want proximity without crowding, hot summer days when the creek becomes your living room.
Hidden Creek
Opening Jan 2025Five Sites in a Hidden Valley
You drive past The Hollow. Cross the creek once. Then again. A massive rock rises ahead—the signature stone, the landmark that says you're close. Turn down beside it. The track drops. Suddenly you're somewhere else entirely.
Hidden Creek sits tucked into a fold of the valley most people never see. The creek pools here—deep enough to swim, clear enough to watch fish flicker through shadows. Trees arch overhead. Grass grows thick between camp sites.
The Rock Pools
This is what makes Hidden Creek special. Natural swimming holes formed by creek flow and ancient stone. Some shallow enough for kids. Others deep enough to dive. Crystal clear. Mountain cold. The kind of natural swimming pool that makes regular pools feel wrong somehow.
Perfect for: Adventurers who want to feel like they found something secret, swimmers who prefer rock pools to beaches, anyone who reads "hidden" and thinks "perfect".
What Every Camper Gets
However you camp, you're here for the same thing: fire under stars, creek water over rock, and the kind of quiet that makes you forget what day it is.

Creek Swimming
Multiple swimming holes within walking distance. Rock pools worn smooth by centuries. Dragonflies skimming the surface. Pack a towel, walk down, stay for hours.
Stargazing
Zero light pollution. The Milky Way stretches horizon to horizon. Southern Cross. Jupiter. Satellites crossing every few minutes. Lie on your back. Look up. Stay there.
Farm Visits
Morning egg collection (if chickens cooperate). Feed the goats (they're friendly, insistent). Let kids experience actual farm life.
Trail Walking
Ridge trail (2.5km). Creek trail (1km). Waterfall trail (40 min return). You're camping on 430 acres—explore them.
Wollumbin (Mt Warning) Summit
15 min drive. Start at dawn. Summit for sunrise. Back to camp by 9 AM for breakfast. Brag forever.
Doing Nothing
Sit by the creek. Read a book. Nap in shade. Let kids be bored (they'll figure it out). This is also camping.

Ready to Camp?
This isn't camping for everyone. If you want powered sites, amenities blocks, and Wi-Fi, look elsewhere. This is self-sufficient camping (except The Hollow, which has porta loos).
But if you want fire under stars, creek cold enough to shock you awake, views that make you understand why people used to worship mountains, and the kind of quiet where you can hear your own thoughts again—book now.
