The sites are a good size with plenty of space for a caravan and tent camping without being crowded. They are also well maintained with good grass underfoot. The creek is great to cool off or have a fish in. You must be self contained though with toilet and shower facilities. Overalls great place for a break with a pleasant backdrops.

My partner and I enjoyed our one-night stay at Bellbirds Nest site. Our host Leacia was very accomodating and provided firewood, kindling and fresh eggs—it was exactly the escape we needed. Cooking by the fire, fresh air, stargazing, and soaking up the peace and quiet made it special. We’d highly recommend it to anyone seeking panoramic views, fresh eggs, and a tranquil getaway. Thank you Leacia! We look forward to booking with you again and for longer.

Ian and Tracy’s place was a peaceful, well-organised spot that made my first Hipcamp stay an easy yes to recommend. ## Peaceful setting - The setting had a calm, **quiet** feel that made it very easy to switch off and relax. - The site offered a real sense of space and privacy, so it never felt crowded or rushed. ## Well organised campsite - Everything was clearly set up and simple to navigate, from arrival through to finding the campsite and facilities. - The space was tidy and well cared for, which added to the feeling of comfort and ease during the stay. ## Helpful, welcoming hosts - Ian and Tracy were genuinely friendly and responsive, happy to answer questions and make sure everything went smoothly. - Their communication and guidance meant there was no stress, just a relaxed stay on land they clearly appreciate and look after. ## For future Hipcampers - Expect a peaceful, private place to unwind, with plenty of room to enjoy nature. I'm looking forward to returning in the winter to use the fire pits.

What a lovely camp site and the owners are fabulous. They came down everyday and made sure everything was ok, and if we needed any firewood (only $15 for a huge bag). Lovely creek to sit in to cool down on a hot day. Will be back.

We decided to go to Christmas Creek bush retreat for our very first Caravan trip. My husband and I with our dog absolutely loved it. The sites were spacious with lots of room, not over crowded, and all sites face the beautiful Creek that is full of turtles, and has platypus (we didn't see them). We liked that it was off grid with no water or power as we wanted to try out our van to see how everything worked, and it was great. I would recommend this site if you want some peace and quiet. The whole site is so well maintained by the owners who live close by and it's an easy 40 minute drive from Beaudesert.
