Private flat clearing on the mountain ridge with bush, mountain and water views. Only one camp site on our 81 acres. Bush walking tracks. Dogs welcome! Plenty of friendly wildlife including birds, wedgetail eagles, kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, goannas, bandicoots, betongs, dingos and red deer. Two kayaks and red claw pots available for guests to use in Somerset Dam. Water access 2 mins away via prior arrangement through Camp Somerset. Or public day areas, The Spit and O'Sheas crossing around 10mins away. One part of the gravel driveway is steep, so a vehicle with some clearance is advised. ***All campers need to be self sufficient with toilet and shower. Dump point in nearby town.*** (Or portaloo available to hire via extras when you book) Fire pit available and fire wood available for a $20 fee with your booking request. A pile will be delivered to your camp site, which is more than enough for 1 or 2 nights.Hilltop views see property description. Water can be seen through the trees. Flat grassy area. Access via gravel driveway. Only camp site on our property. Our sheds and accommodation are 500m away and can not be seen at all. See owner for kayaks and red claw pots for guest use. Water access by prior arrangement via Camp Somerset (Approx 700m from camp site) access does book out, so is not guaranteed, or head to the public day areas only 15mins away (The Spit and O'Sheas crossing.)

Poppy's camp
If peace and quiet is what you are after then this was a perfect little oasis just for this, an hour from Ipswich in the beautiful picturesque Somerset Lake region. Bebe, Eddie, Hunter and Jim were very welcoming and friendly. We arrived in torrential rain to a lit fire and after a very quick set up in the wet dark night we settled in. What we awoke to was just amazing. Mostly level area, with rock fire pit and cut firewood for our stay. The views were lovely and our little patch of peaceful overlooked the Somerset Lake on one side and views over to Camp Somerset with rolling hills and forest surrounding. This is a one for us to definitely return to in the cooler months but only 15min drive to the Day Area for the lake for a swim to cool off if you need. For us - it was more about the peaceful ness and time out from world. Can't wait to see the finish of Bebe and Hunters house on the ridge top. Thank you guys - we will see you again. BWH

Poppy's camp
Had a great couple of nights stay near at Poppy's near Somerset. Nice flat private campsite with fire ring and plenty of firewood. Wallabies, koalas and deer all sighted in and around camp and were all friendly. Great sunrise and sunset from camp and heaps of stars to see at nightime. Plenty of trails in national parks and access to the lake close by. If you're travelling with a dog be aware there may not be many places that are dog friendly being national parks. The All Trails app is great for searching hikes and activities and filtering dog friendly options. We found a great trail to go for a walk with our dog up near Deer Reserve State Forest which was dog friendly and all to ourselves.

Camping with my dog
We like the Bebe's place. It was very private and peaceful. Eddie welcomed us and let us view the top of the hill house that was being built for now. The scenery on top was beautiful and calm.
