May be the best hip camp I've stayed at. Really gorgeous camping amongst the fruiting mulberry trees. Shayne and Melissa are lovely and very hospitable. The bucket showers are hot and work great, would advise bringing your own drinking water though.

We truly enjoyed our stopover. Enjoyed the quiet space, great amenities, and vibe of the property. Boys had a great time relaxing in the hammock and playing UNO by the fire.

Forest Fields Campstay

Grounds were stunning. Amenities were great and very clean. So much privacy, felt like we were the only ones there. Half hour drive to Yeppoon. Stayed for 3 nights but we easily could have stayed another 3. We absolutely loved it and will be back

Beautiful garden location. Plenty of space to find your privacy and to top it off a magic bucket shower up among the trees.

Such a beautiful location. The scenery was amazing and waking up to a beautiful sunrise over the pond was something else. The kids loved canoeing and exploring the area.
