Dam Crazy? You would have to be to bypass over 620 acres of scenic bushland off the beaten track for your next camping getaway or stopover on your way on the Bruce Highway. An abundance of birdlife with over 135 different species found so far including a Powerful Owl. A magnificent 400 megalitre dam that now forms part of the natural landscape of this unique property. A hidden gem in the Wide Bay/Fraser Coast area of Queensland where relaxation, peace and privacy are unavoidable as are the sunsets and shooting stars in the clear skies above. We are 20 minutes from the quaint Childers Township and 50 minutes from Bundaberg. The property is totally private and caravans cannot been seen from the road, the owners live on the property and only booked guests are to enter the property offering security and peace of mind. Whether you want to bird watch, kayak, fish (catch and release only), hike or ride one of the many trails or sit, relax and read your favourite book, we promise a warm welcome; from the wildlife and the proprietors Miranda, Brendon and Esa the dog. Dam Crazy is also pet friendly, dogs must be cleaned up after and may be walked off leash on the walking trails (please be mindful of other campers, farm animals and wildlife), they may also swim in the dam but must be contained or kept on leash in the campsite areas. The dam is very deep and could have snags washed down in floods, so we suggest children wear life jackets, and MUST be supervised by adults at all times around the water. Numbers are limited to ensure you have plenty of space and privacy! Campers must take all waste with them. Very good cellphone receptionDam Crazy?

Dam Crazy Camping

What a magic campground ! This is now one of our favourites. So much to do , swimming in the dam, walks with our pooch , fishing, kayaking and sitting by the fire at night. So quiet at night. The dam is beautiful, so clean and clear. Brendan & Miranda were lovely. We will absolutely be back again soon. Thank you for an amazing stay.

One of the best!

Absolutely beautiful outlook over the dam. Campsites are well spaced out and private. The whole site has lovely green lawns and the bird life is amazing. The flush toilets were very clean. There are lovely walks from the camp and Brendon was an awesome host. We would highly recommend this camp as it’s one of the very best we’ve been too.

Dam Crazy Camping

Great spot, camps are spacious and the dam is great. Sites are a little hilly on the water front and need to bring along a fire pit to have off the ground but it’s a great camp with friendly hosts

Dam Crazy Camping

Overall was a great location, close to town, great swimming and good company. However only 1 out of the 12 sites are level and some very challenging. No fires unless in an off ground fire pit and now rubbish point. Just a few things to note

Peaceful lake stay

Peace and quiet around the lake. Very spacious sites and clean toilets. The building blended well into the landscape. Nice walks in the bush that we enjoyed with our dog able to run off leash. There were Kajaks to use if one wanted to go for a paddle. We enjoyed the visits and serenades of the very friendly magpies.
