Mostly flat grassed and treed paddock, beside fresh running creek. Pizza oven and wood fired bbq available for guests. 10 mins from Fernvale, close to Wivenhoe Dam, 30 mins to Somerset Dam. Caravan, RV and boat access, no 4WD required. Enjoy the bird life as you wander the gardens. Fire pit available, own toilet and drinking water required. Non-potable water available. Property has unfenced creek access so unsuitable for small children. Two ensuite rooms also available on property, separate to main house.Welcome to your perfect getaway—a peaceful, scenic spot where you can kick back, relax, and maybe even forget what day it is! Whether you’re in the mood for a leisurely tour of Wivenhoe or Somerset Dams, a bushwalk adventure, some time on the water with your kayak, a bit of fishing, or tackling the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail on your bike, we’ve got you covered. Our campsite is a spacious, mostly flat grassy paddock with plenty of trees, set beside a crystal-clear, babbling creek. Just 10 minutes from Fernvale and Wivenhoe Dam, and a short drive from Somerset Dam, it's the ideal spot for RVs, caravans, and boats—no 4WD required (unless you just want to look cool). Birdwatchers, take note! You'll love wandering through the gardens with the local wildlife as your soundtrack. And on a hot summer’s day, there’s nothing better than cooling off in the refreshing, steady flow of the creek—just like nature’s own air conditioner. Feel free to fire up the wood BBQ or pizza oven, and for those perfect campfire moments, your very own fire pit awaits. Just bring your best marshmallow-roasting skills. A quick heads-up: we don’t have toilets, so don’t forget to pack your portaloo or maybe a trusty shovel if you’re feeling adventurous. Oh, and as much as we love kids, the unfenced creek means it’s probably not the best spot for little ones to run wild. Come for the peace and quiet, stay for the good vibes (and maybe a pizza or two)!

Pretty campsite with lots of shade
Tent
Stayed 3 nights camping next to the creek in the paddock at Split Yard Creek. Lovely location for a weekend, went to the Fernvale markets on Sunday but otherwise just lazed around doing nothing. Very pretty, shady campsite, would be perfect for a large group camp.

Amazing weekend away on Richard's land a stone's throw from Wivenhoe with so many beautiful options for a day trip. We chose to visit Northbrook Gorge which was only a 25 minute drive. The hospitality, upkeep of the site and the added bonus of a backyard hike up for a sunset view of Wivenhoe followed by a creek dip made for a perfect weekend getaway! Highly recommend 👌

Fantaatic spot. Great hosts. Really amazing property, the grass where we camped was more Iush than my backyard. The creek is stunning and great for a dip. Thx Richard and Jenny.

Great Spot

Enjoyed my stay at Slack Creek. The area was amazing and Richard was a very nice host welcoming us onto his land and explaining what we were able to do in the area. His directions as well was helpful to find the camp-site. The camp-site was close to Fernvale and wivenhoe. Overall great camp-site for friends and family.

The hospitality is Incredible, you genuinely feel as if you need anything you knock on their door and ask. Super Inviting and friendly with great knowledge of the area. I was lucky to have been shown a great walking trail with a view of wivenhoe dam you won't get anywhere else. Firewood provided as well is an amazing touch.
