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.
