All to yourself

100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

If you want to get away from the rat race for a while this is your ideal location. We take one booking at any one time. You have the site all to yourselves. Your site is three acres of privacy and seclusion, rainforest and a beautiful freshwater creek. Close to walks to Araluen Cascades and the Wheel of fire falls at Finch Hatton Gorge. There are no facilities here, so you need to be fully self-contained. No wifi. No mobile coverage (great to get the kids off the screens). There is plenty of water, firewood and wildlife though. Sometimes you won't be able to access the site as creek floods in heavy rain - can be cut off. Well behaved dogs are welcome. Please note check in is between 2 pm and 5 pm unless arranged otherwise. Access is best suited to 4WD or High Clearance vehicles. Not suitable for small cars. The site is suitable for caravans/trailers 6 metres long or smaller. We can accommodate up to six vehicles on the site (for a large group. travelling together). Forest Flying rainforest activity is next door. ($90 per person - booking essential). Please see www.forestflying.com for details. NOTE: check our directions once your booking is confirmed.EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE SITE - 3 BEAUTIFUL ACRES ALL TO YOURSELF We know that sometimes you just have to get away from everyone. If you want to get away from the rat race for a while this is ideal. 3 acres to yourself. The property is close to Finch Hatton Gorge and Eungella National Park with waterfalls and walks too. We take one group at a time so you have the entire site all to yourselves. There is plenty of room for up to 6 vehicles if you want to bring friends or perhaps you are a couple and just want some privacy. Once we have shown you to the site we'll leave you alone to enjoy - no need to see anyone else if you don't want to! There are no facilities available, no mobile coverage, just your group and mother nature including a beautiful fresh water creek. The site is not suitable for large caravans (not enough turning space), but is suitable for Camper trailers, camper vans, motor-homes etc equipped with toilet. Well behaved dogs are very welcome. Ask us for an early check in or later check out. Apart from Christmas week and Easter the price is just $30 per night for up to 2 people ($15 per additional person), before fees and taxes. Check out "Tim Rumble, Forest Flying, Finch Hatton Gorge" on You Tube to see the site. See you soon. Dave and Donna

Amazing campsite (bring bug spray)

The site was beautiful and the hosts were amazing. The March flies came out in full force from around 11:30-5pm so just bring a bunch of insect repellent

We loved the peace and quiet, there were no other campers while we were there. Ulysses butterflies & beautiful dragon flies in the most vibrant blues was a treat to see while bathing in the very cold, but refreshing water. Surrounded by the sounds of nature & fresh air. And Fireflies at night, I haven't seen them in a very long time. The only thing that was a negative was the sites weren't good for caravans, we managed with our 14' pop top but it was a struggle to manoeuvre it in and out of the site. Otherwise, it is a beautiful peaceful camp site and we loved our 2 night stay.

Loved it!

We loved this place so much we extended our stay from 3 to 5 nights ! The creek was beautiful and refreshing the selection of sites were excellent. It was a joy to be able to let our dog off leash and enjoy . There are the expected camping creatures, python, fire flys (both beautiful) only downside were the horse flys that we battled with, but would stay here again for sure - thanks Donna.

Tranquil and private rainforest

A glorious rainforest location. Nice and private with a stunning creek running through it. Fabulous campfire locations and there are many sites to pick from although you are the only ones there. Lovely hosts. We would stay there again in a heartbeat 💗
