Woodlands Farmstay and Glamping

Official Partner

Tucked a short distance off the Bruce Highway near Howard, Woodlands Farmstay and Glamping is a 56-acre bushland retreat that feels worlds away from the road. Set across spacious, tree-lined sites with roaming wallabies, abundant birdlife, and a friendly menagerie of farm animals including goats, chickens, ducks, and guinea pigs, this family-run property is rapidly growing into one of the Fraser Coast's most charming farm stays. Choose from a range of camping configurations to suit your style. Loop A offers large, self-contained bush sites with potable water nearby — ideal for caravans, motorhomes, and those travelling with dogs. Loop B puts you right in the heart of the action, close to the playground, animal pens, and the communal toilet and shower facilities. There is also a powered site and a Tiny House available for those seeking a little extra comfort. Families are especially well catered for. Kids can feed the farm animals (feed bags are provided), explore the enchanted fairy garden, ride bikes, shoot hoops, kick goals in the soccer nets, and dig away in a generous sandpit. An on-site camp kitchen and communal water taps with potable water round out the practical amenities, while fire drums and the ability to gather your own firewood from the property make for magical evenings under a star-filled sky. Hosts Susan and Vince are consistently praised by guests for their warmth, attentiveness, and the thoughtful touches they continue to add as the property grows. Woodlands is notably free of midges, conveniently close to the Howard Bakery and local weir for a swim, and perfectly positioned as a base to explore the Fraser Coast — within easy reach of both Hervey Bay and Maryborough. Burrum Coast National Park is also nearby for day walks. Note that Loop A sites are designed for fully self-sufficient guests, as toilet facilities are not located on those sites. Some highway noise may be noticeable, particularly for tent campers. Children must be supervised near the small dam on Loop B sites.

Tours & experiences

  • Hipcamp

    <p>Discover the Fraser Coast through a different kind of stay — one where you wake up to birdsong, share a paddock with miniature horses, and fall asleep under a sky full of stars. Hipcamp connects you with a handpicked collection of hosted properties across the region, from working farms and bush retreats to creekside camps and hinterland hideaways.</p><p>Whether you're rolling in with a caravan, pitching a tent, or treating yourself to a glamping setup, these properties offer something you simply won't find in a caravan park: genuine connection with the land, local hosts who live and breathe their patch of the Fraser Coast, and the kind of quiet that resets you from the inside out.</p><h2>Where can I stay through Hipcamp on the Fraser Coast?</h2><p>Hipcamp properties are spread right across the region, giving you a genuinely local base no matter where your adventures take you. Close to Hervey Bay, Carlton Farm offers a 25-acre cattle grazing property just off the highway with private, tree-lined campsites and easy bike-path access straight into town and along the ocean frontage to Urangan Pier. Nearby, Squidz Camp & Relax at Booral sits just minutes from the barge to K'gari (formerly Fraser Island) — a brilliant launchpad for a sand island adventure.</p><p>For a bush farmstay experience within easy reach of both Hervey Bay and Maryborough, Woodlands Farmstay and Glamping at Howard spreads across 56 acres just two minutes from the Bruce Highway. Families are particularly well catered for, with animal encounters, craft activities, an enchanted fairy garden, bikes, a basketball hoop, and free-roaming wallabies to spot on a morning walk.</p><p>Up on the Mary River at Gundiah, Evergreen is a sprawling 2,500-acre working cattle and fruit-tree property where you can learn about farm life, join Saturday Sundowners and Dinner at the homestead, or simply watch the river roll by from a ridgetop campsite with views in every direction.</p><p>At Aramara, Coolamondah is a 111-acre mix of Spotted Gum woodland, mango orchard, and native forest with secluded sites for self-contained RVs and camper trailers. Swim or canoe on the stocked dams, hike through timbered gullies, pick your own seasonal fruit, and help feed the cattle, sheep, and free-range chickens — it's a hands-on rural escape at its finest.</p><p>Out at Burrum Heads, Riverside delivers the classic riverside campground experience: river access, a private sandbar at low tide, views across to K'gari, and campfires under the stars (subject to fire restrictions). Note that 4WD access is required via the sand track.</p><p>In the hinterland, Back to the Bush at Woocoo offers 320 acres of peaceful native countryside — a bush retreat and wedding venue where clear starry nights and the sound of the bush replace every distraction. And at Goomeri, Nangur Haven is a rewilding project in progress, with over 3,000 native trees planted on former pasture land along Nangur Creek. Fish for your dinner, throw in the redclaw pots, try your hand at gold panning, and use it as a base for the Bunya Mountains, Kinbombi Falls, and Barambah Dam — all within easy reach.</p><h2>Are Hipcamp properties suitable for families?</h2><p>Many Fraser Coast Hipcamp properties are excellent for families. Woodlands Farmstay and Glamping at Howard has been rated family-friendly by recent guests, with animal encounters, a playground, craft activities, and open space for kids to roam. Coolamondah at Aramara is another strong family pick, where collecting eggs, feeding farm animals, and fishing in stocked dams are all part of the stay.</p><h2>Can I bring my dog or pet?</h2><p>Several properties on the Fraser Coast welcome pets. Squidz Camp & Relax at Booral is pet-friendly (pets must be kept on lead to protect local wildlife). Riverside at Burrum Heads is also pet-friendly. Woodlands Farmstay at Howard accommodates dogs in the self-contained Loop A sites. Always check each individual listing for the specific pet policy before booking, as conditions vary.</p><h2>Do I need a self-contained vehicle?</h2><p>Requirements vary by property. Several listings — including Coolamondah and Squidz Camp — specify that guests must be self-contained, meaning you'll need your own toilet facilities. Carlton Farm at Nikenbah requires a camp toilet but notes a dump station nearby. Other properties such as Woodlands Farmstay and Riverside Burrum Heads provide toilet and shower facilities on site. Check your chosen listing carefully before you arrive.</p><h2>What makes a Hipcamp stay different from a standard caravan park?</h2><p>Hipcamp properties are privately hosted, which means you're staying on someone's land — a working farm, a family homestead, a rewilding project, or a riverside retreat. The experience is more personal, more spacious, and more connected to the natural environment than a traditional caravan park. Many hosts live on-site and are genuinely invested in sharing their corner of the Fraser Coast with you.</p>

  • Hipcamp Australia – Fraser Coast Stays

    <p>Some of the Fraser Coast's most memorable nights are spent not in hotels, but under a canopy of stars on a working cattle property, beside a quietly flowing river, or in the kind of deep bush stillness that reminds you why you came. Hipcamp connects travellers with private landowners across the region, unlocking a network of farm stays, bush camps, and off-grid retreats that you simply won't find anywhere else.</p><p>Whether you're rolling in with a caravan, setting up a tent, or parking a self-contained motorhome, the Fraser Coast's Hipcamp hosts offer genuine hospitality on properties ranging from intimate 10-acre escapes near Hervey Bay to sprawling 2,500-acre cattle stations on the banks of the Mary River. Each stay is hosted — meaning a real person is behind the experience, not a booking algorithm.</p><h2>What kinds of Hipcamp stays are available on the Fraser Coast?</h2><p>The region's Hipcamp listings span a wide range of experiences. You'll find riverside farm stays where platypus slip past at dusk, hinterland properties with fruit orchards and friendly cattle to help feed, bush camps just two minutes from the Bruce Highway yet surrounded by wallabies and birdlife, and coastal retreats a short drive from the barge to K'gari (formerly Fraser Island). Most sites are self-contained — bring your own camp toilet or a fully equipped van — and many are pet-friendly.</p><h2>Riverside and farm stays</h2><p>Two standout properties sit along the Mary River near Gundiah, about an hour from Hervey Bay. <strong>Mary River Farmstay</strong> is a 100-hectare cattle property with 1 km of river frontage — drop a line for bass, saratoga, sooty grunter, and catfish, or watch for platypus with your camera at the ready. Note that parts of the steep riverbank are unstable following the 2022 floods; children should be supervised near the water. Some camping areas require 4WD access.</p><p><strong>Evergreen</strong> takes the farm stay concept further on a 2,500-acre property also on the Mary River. Hosts here run a working beef cattle operation alongside a 1,500-tree fruit orchard, 30 free-range chickens, three donkeys, and working dogs. Choose between a historic ridge-top campsite with views in every direction, or the atmospheric old Hut campsite on a flat river ledge. On Saturday evenings, guests can join the hosts for sundowners in the paddock followed by dinner at the homestead [VERIFY availability and booking details with operator].</p><h2>Bush camps and farm escapes near Hervey Bay and Maryborough</h2><p><strong>Woodlands Farmstay and Glamping</strong> near Howard occupies 56 acres just two minutes off the Bruce Highway — close enough for convenience, quiet enough to feel genuinely away. Four bush campsites suit self-contained vehicles and tents, and a Tiny House (with shower and toilet) is available on request. Resident goats, chickens, ducks, miniature horses, and free-roaming wallabies make this an especially popular choice for families. It's roughly 30 minutes to Hervey Bay or 20 minutes to Maryborough's heritage streetscapes, making it an ideal base for exploring the wider region. The property is hosted by a Star Host with a strong family-friendly reputation.</p><p><strong>Coolamondah</strong> at Aramara is a 111-acre property that blends spotted gum-timbered ridges, a 120-tree mango and fruit orchard, and thick native timber forest. Guests can canoe or swim in large dams, fish for stocked silver perch, hike through native gullies and rocky ridges, pick fruit in season, and help with the daily feed. Several secluded campsites in the forest suit self-contained RVs and camper trailers, while more open sites in the Orchard and Dam Paddock also accommodate caravans. This is a property best suited to those seeking genuine peace and quiet.</p><p><strong>Back to the Bush</strong> at Woocoo — known locally as Kings-Lynn — offers 320 acres of peaceful native countryside with clear starry nights and a true bush retreat atmosphere. The property also functions as a wedding venue, but for campers it's simply a place to slow down, disconnect, and reconnect with the land.</p><h2>Stays close to K'gari and the Great Sandy Strait</h2><p><strong>Squidz Camp and Relax</strong> in Booral sits on 10 acres just minutes from the barge crossing to K'gari — the UNESCO World Heritage-listed sand island. It's a self-sufficient site (no power, toilets, or showers, but potable water is available) with a lovely dam, a fire pit for cooler evenings, and a gated property for security. Pets are welcome on lead to protect local wildlife. The Great Sandy Strait and K'gari are practically on your doorstep.</p><p><strong>Riverside Burrum Heads</strong> delivers a traditional-style campground experience with river access, a private sandbar beach at low tide, views across to K'gari, and freshwater dams surrounded by national park forest. Note that 4WD access is required via a sand track. Flushing toilets and hot showers are available, and firewood, ice, and fishing bait are sold on site. Insects can be present in warmer months — pack repellent.</p><p><strong>Dreamtime</strong>, also near Burrum Heads, offers generous campsites under tall gum trees on a 2.5-acre block minutes from the Great Sandy Strait. The local waters fish well for a variety of species, and the unhurried pace of Burrum Heads makes this a genuinely restful stop.</p><h2>Stays right in Hervey Bay</h2><p><strong>Carlton Farm</strong> in Nikenbah is a 25-acre cattle grazing property just 3 km outside Hervey Bay's town centre. Private, tree-lined campsites sit near a seasonal creek and gully, and a mobility corridor and bike path runs directly from the property all the way to Urangan Pier — making it easy to explore Hervey Bay's 15 km of ocean frontage without moving your vehicle. Campers must be self-contained with their own camp toilet; a dump station is 2 km away. The Depot Espresso Bar is next door for an early morning coffee before you set off.</p><p><strong>Lenlie Farm</strong> at Pacific Haven offers a 40-acre off-grid retreat with three dams, mature trees, and open skies for stargazing. Caravan and RV travellers will find potable water on site, and power is accessible closer to the main house for those who need it.</p><h2>Practical tips for Hipcamp stays on the Fraser Coast</h2><ul><li><strong>Self-contained is the norm:</strong> The majority of Fraser Coast Hipcamp listings require fully self-contained vehicles or campers with their own toilet facilities. Check each listing carefully before booking.</li><li><strong>4WD access:</strong> Several properties — including parts of Mary River Farmstay and Riverside Burrum Heads — require 4WD.

Always check the specific listing requirements before you book, as council regulations vary by location.</p><h3>Which Hipcamp stays are closest to K'gari (formerly Fraser Island)?</h3><p>Squidz Camp and Relax in Booral is minutes from the barge crossing to K'gari.

Always confirm pet-friendly status, any lead requirements, and designated camping areas directly with your host at the time of booking.</p><h3>What fishing is available at Fraser Coast Hipcamp properties?</h3><p>Fishing is a genuine highlight at several properties. Mary River Farmstay offers 1 km of river frontage with bass, saratoga, sooty grunter, and catfish, plus platypus sightings. Coolamondah has stocked silver perch dams. Riverside Burrum Heads provides river access and sells bait on site. Dreamtime near Burrum Heads is minutes from the Great Sandy Strait's reef fishing.</p><h3>What is the best time of year to visit Fraser Coast Hipcamp properties?</h3><p>The Fraser Coast enjoys a mild climate year-round. Winter and spring (May to October) offer cooler, drier camping conditions — and this period also overlaps with humpback whale season in nearby Hervey Bay [VERIFY season dates with Hervey Bay whale watch operators]. Summer brings warmer nights and lush green landscapes, though insect repellent is advisable, particularly at riverside and coastal properties.</p>
