TerraLyra is situated on 55 acres of beautiful Fraser Coast Hinterland, surrounded by natural forests and land formations, and blessed with abundant wildlife. We offer 8 powered sites and 20 camp sites. Take a walk through the young forest up to the ridge amongst more mature gums and other native trees. Enjoy the Paperbark gum and Balga plant areas and find the hidden baby nature dam where you will be mesmerized by its beauty and serenity. We have been told that it is a great place for contemplation and meditation. Our large dam is home to fish and many native ducks, herons, swamp hens, cormorants, and more. Bird song trills through the forest daily, with flocks of wild parrots in the high trees. Occasionally, goannas and dragon lizards can be seen sunning themselves, and later in the day, wallabies and kangaroos can be seen making their move. Look out for the native brown and green frogs. Bring your kayak and paddle and swim in the large dam. There are great bike trails in the nearby Glenwood forest areas. We offer camping with a difference, providing a special place of rest and restoration with other optional extras, such as healings and readings onsite, alongside other activities like sky watch and fire ceremonies.

Large Tent Set up for your stay
This place was so amazing. We were so thankful to find the site that had a tent already set up for us. Made for a stress free trip. The facilities were incredible... everything was made with so much love. To top it off the hosts were so kind too. Our only regret, we couldn't stay longer. Already planning our next trip back!

Peaceful lakeside camping
Quiet and relaxing little property with lots of bird life. Beautiful views across the lake. Tidy amenities much appreciated. The hosts, Heather and Louise were very friendly. We plan on visiting again in the future.

The location its self is amazing!!! Very peaceful and great place to go and relax. The Host, Heather was amazing and very helpful. She even showed us around the property for potential places to camp. Possibly one of the best bush camping experiences I could have had.

Easter weekend in nature
What a great time we had at TerraLyra over Easter,Heather and Louise are amazing hosts. The grounds are well maintained and our fur baby had the best time exploring the bushland around our camp site. We arrived on a very wet day but despite that, Heather was kind enough to arrange a beautiful spot for us overlooking the dam which gifted us with glorious sunsets. If you are looking for a place for a relaxing trip look no further, we’ll definitely be back!
