Bring your home away from home and park up amongst the Paperbark trees and enjoy a relaxing and fun stay on our 5 acre hobby farm. (***IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR OWN TOILET OR YOU WISH TO USE OURS WHILE ON THE FARM IT WILL INCUR AN EXTRA $10 PER NIGHT. PLEASE ADD THIS UNDER EXTRAS WHEN BOOKING***) Our property is located on River Heads Road which takes you to the barge to the largest sand island in the world, K’Gari Fraser Island. Paperbark Camp and Farm Stay is a perfect pit stop on your way to and from the Island or for a getaway from city life. The campground is located close to the road so you will hear passing cars traveling to and from River Heads. We have a large communal campfire ring set up, sticks from the paddock can be collected as kindling and firewood. Additional fire wood can be purchased and portable fire pits can also be requested for your own private fire at your site. Paperbark Camp and Farm Stay offers our guests the opportunity to pat and feed our animals during the farm walk and take a stroll thru our food forest and gardens upon request. You are also welcome to explore the camp area with our dam and lovely bush surrounds where you will find hidden treasures amongst the trees and camp ground. On our little farm, we have lots of quirky chickens (who lay the most delicious eggs), our beautiful horses, pet dogs, sheep, alpacas, pigs and miniature goats! Purchase local and fresh produce from 'The Hut' which is our located in the centre of our camp ground. You are only a very short drive from shops, beaches and attractions. The following shops are only 5kms away-Foodworks, Chemist Warehouse, Dentist ,Dr Surgery, Airport, BP Petrol Station, Bottle-Shop, Hairdressers. T Take a very short walk to the Pir'ri Reserve Walking Track where you can do a spot of bird watching or simply enjoy a stroll on the rustic bush tracks. Beautiful calm swimming beaches are only a 9km drive away. You may also like to visit our huge pier at Urangan, or take a walk along the bike path which stretches 17kms along the waterfront. You will also find a shopping centre with Woolworths in this area and other specialty shops (post office and retail). Plenty of takeaway available- KFC, McDonalds, Golden Chicken, River Heads Cafe for breakfast and lunch daily and pizza three nights a week and restaurants in the vicinity. River Heads where K’Gari Fraser Island barge leaves from is 7.5km from our camp and you are welcome to leave your vehicles parked up for a small fee. Families are very welcome however children must be fully supervised at all times as we do have a dam on the property. We do hope to meet you soon.Pitch your tent, park up your camper, RV or caravan amongst the paperbark trees and enjoy a restful and fun stay on our 5 acre hobby farm.

Best Farmstay!
We loved staying at Paperbark Camp & Farmstay. The animals (sheep, alpacas, pony & princess the pig) were free to roam which was amazing! Our kids thoroughly enjoyed feeding the animals our veggie scraps and Michelle the camp host was amazing! She made sure we had everything we needed and even took us in the veggie patch to pick raspberries and to see the chickens. Cannot recommend highly enough!!

Great spot for animal lovers!
We had such a special time at Paperbark Camp. Michelle and her family made us feel so welcome and were incredibly generous with their time, showing us all of their farm animals and letting our 3yo feed and brush them which he loved! We also toured their kitchen garden and got to sample their amazing Atherton raspberries and passionfruit! The camp-site is really well setup, the facilities are super clean and there are little touches everywhere to make you feel at home. We enjoyed our stay so much we ended up staying on for an extra night. Highly recommend!

A great place to stay just outside of Hervey Bay. Michelle the host was very welcoming. We were also able to leave our van while visiting K'gari.
