NEW CAMP: Hidden Camp at Pie Creek, Gympie, Queensland

Our latest listing is a favourite with campers. Tucked away just 10 minutes west of Gympie you’ll find Hidden Camp at Pie Creek, a 6.5 acre property where you can get back to nature. The perfect destination … close to most things but still away from everything! Families will love it here, you can bring the kids, dog, push bikes and canoe. Enjoy a campfire in season in the fire pits provided and there’s plenty of firewood available. The camp offers a pretty view, there’s a camp kitchen and bar setup near the dam, with lights, barbeque, fridge/freezer and some

Lilydale Falls Reserve – North East Tasmania

Travel_and_tassie via Instagram While heading off on an early morning trip towards the Meander Valley, it was an opportunity to stop at the Lilydale Falls Reserve about 25 km east of Launceston, just on the outskirts of the village of Lilydale. The spot is popular for a picnic, to camp or for bushwalking. (Above image @Travel_and_tassie via Instagram ) The reserve is a leafy, shaded haven, with lots of birdlife and plenty of room for vehicles, caravans, motorhomes or to camp up for one night. There is an undercover area with bbq, a playground for the kids, picnic tables, toilets, bins

New Outback Camp in Beltana, South Australia

If you are travelling along the Outback Highway in South Australia, we’d recommend a short detour into the historic town of Beltana. Unfortunately nearby Beltana Station is no longer offering camping, but the small town of Beltana has filled that gap. Approximately 12 km east of the old Roadhouse turnoff (the road is currently being sealed with bitumen), volunteers from the Progress Association have been busy creating a place for campers to feel welcome. Beltana is a State Heritage listed town with a remarkable array of old buildings and an impressive town hall, the site of which has been chosen

The Stumpys – Mount William National Park, NE Tasmania

If you’ve camped at Stumpys Bay in the north east of Tasmania, you’ll already know what a find it is. Off the Tasman Highway, travel to Gladstone and follow the signs towards Musselroe Bay, it is gravel all the way with a hint of bitumen, but don’t get excited, it doesn’t last long. The road is subject to flooding so plan ahead. It is all very well signed along the way. I initially had three bars of Telstra signal here, but it disappeared quickly as I entered Mt William National Park and no Optus at all. There’s an information bay
