    Stonesthrow is a rural property in the Illinbah valley, nestled between Beechmont and Canungra, with council approval for limited camping (4WD only - leave no trace). So if you want to escape the crowds at public campgrounds, your privacy and enjoyment are assured! We are NOT a 4WD adventure park so vehicles must be parked up at your site on arrival and left there unless leaving the property to go to town/tourist activities. Any exploration of the property or travel to toilets is strictly on foot only- NO 4WD'ing. Anyone driving around the property will be asked to leave. We have sites both near the creek and facilities and up on the plateau. Our elevated/remote sites require capable 4WD's with off-road/AT tyres and campers need to be fully self-sufficient including having their own sealed chemical camping toilet and an ensuite/privacy tent. If you don't have your own commercial chemical camping toilet then you will be given a choice of sites with access to facilities. We reserve the right to view/verify your toilet before allowing you access to the elevated/remote sites. Caravans are restricted on where they can access- with no guarantee of sufficient sunlight for solar. Elevated/remote sites cannot be reached with a caravan- please bear this in mind if booking with a caravan. Well behaved dogs are welcome as long as they are on a lead when moving about the property. Please let us know if you wish to bring a dog and you will be allocated an appropriate site as some areas of the property are designated 'dog-free' camping zones. The common area (old shearing shed) has composting toilets, communal fridge, microwave, jug, drinking water, sink for washing up and table/chairs. There is 500 m of (shallow) creek frontage, kms of walking/riding trails and grassy creek flats for recreational activities. Over the decades, the property has been used to farm goats, train racing camels and spell racehorses. There is also a variety of fruit trees and plantation timber. Please note that arrival must be in daylight hours with sufficient time for orientation, travel to your site and set up before dark. If your plans necessitate arriving later than this then please contact us to discuss prior to booking. When booking - please read the property rules carefully.Stonesthrow Bush Camping suits self-contained 4WD campers with camper trailer/tent. Campsites should be selected based on weather, personal preference and size required. Bring all that you need and remove all rubbish upon leaving. All sites are unpowered. Access to power, camp kitchen (including fridge and water) and portaloos are available at the 'Shearing Shed' (common area). The property is very private, offering peace of mind and security. When booking - please read the property rules carefully.  Dogs are welcome however we ask that you please discuss this with us first.

    Great place to stay!
    Tent
    What a great place to get away and it's just a 'Stonesthrow' from the cities. Well maintained, large spaces between camp sites and great hosts. Very peaceful with great hills and creeks, we definitely will be going back again. Thanks Steve, Richard & Miranda.

    Excellent long weekend stay at Stonesthrow. We had a beautiful creek side campsite for our camper trailer, 2 kids and dogs. Heaps of space to explore, plenty of creek swims, engaging with friendly animals and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Looking forward to heading back soon.

    My partner and I love the property and how many sites we could choose from to stay at. It was the perfect stay to set up a sway and watch the stars at night

    We absolutely loved our stay at Stonesthrow! From the moment we arrived, They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The scenery was breathtaking so incredible that we were left speechless. We didn’t want to leave! The property was peaceful and beautifully maintained, with adorable animals and horses adding to the charm. It was truly a lovely experience, and we can’t wait to come back!
