Guests must be fully self-contained including toilet and drinking water - no facilities provided. We ask for minimal impact - removal of all waste and rubbish is the guest's responsibility.

Dogs are permitted but must be under control at all times. Open fires permitted only in fire pits provided - subject to local restrictions when applicable.

 All sites have creek frontage and are private and a reasonable distance away from other sites. Note: vehicles, camper trailers, caravans and toilets are not to be set up within 10m of the creek as per local government by-laws.

OZ SKY RANCH

Oz Sky Ranch is set on 350+ acres in the beautiful Gold Coast Hinterland, just outside of Brisbane at the bottom of Mount Tambourine near Canungra. We cater to adventurous souls, with a range of adventure tourism activities in and around our property. Try tandem hang-gliding and paragliding and a full range of hang gliding and paragliding courses or just bring your own stand-up paddleboards and kayaks. Our lake is lovely and clean and is great to swim in.

We opened up our working cattle and turf farm to promote Hang gliding and paragliding, we believe the more people see it, then the more people may like to come for a tandem flight or learn to fly with us. You can buy a friend or loved one a gift of a life time. Tandem hang gliding gift vouchers are very popular, as you get to take off from the property and flyover you’re campsite and then up to 2500ft. Then come and land right next to your friends and family at the Oz Sky Ranch. 

We pride ourselves on keeping the property lovely and clean. We are also opening our home and farm to you. So please respect it and enjoy it as we do.

We have 5 designated campsites positioned around the property. Within the designated sites, there are camp spots that we rotate.

Please check with us to see what ones are open. We need to rotate the sites and rest them. This is how we keep them well-maintained and looking amazing. If it is wet weather we will close down sites and recommend other spots.

We pride our self’s on having a lovely property and want you to have an amazing camping experience.

If it is bad weather, we will recommend another site or you can change dates.

Coast Farm

Coast and country combined. 25 acre farm is surrounded by other large farms and beautiful countryside as far as the eye can see.

- However you are only 2.5 minutes drive to the nearest beach (Casuarina) and shops! The land is elevated, flood free and has some ocean views/breezes. 

Guests MUST be fully self contained with their own toilet facilities. This must be shown to host on arrival. If you do not have your own toilet you will be asked to leave. If you want to pay a bit extra for your own private ensuite (running water, hot shower, power, lights, vanity and flushing toilet) then you can stay without your own toilet.

Cabarita beach (voted best beach in Australia for 2020 and 2021) is only 7 min away, Fingal and Dreamtime Beaches 10 min drive. 

- When there is a bit of swell you can hear the crashing of waves at night time as you relax.

- Camping area is a long way from the street so no noise pollution & no light pollution - with countless stars if there is a clear evening with no clouds.

- I do not know how to change 'pets' status on website. But they are only allowed if you describe they type of pet/breed and promise they will be safe on a lead at all times and not roam around the farm doing what they want. Busy weekends they may not be allowed - ask when booking.

This site can easily accommodate small or large groups with flushing toilets, hot showers, kitchen and fridge available. There is also lots of Bell - 'glamping tents' for full luxury provided. If someone in your group wants it all 'finished' when you arrive.

Ridiculous views!

This site will be ready by mid March 2021

4WD access only during and a few days after heavy rain.

Stonesthrow

Stonesthrow is a rural property in the Illinbah valley, nestled between Beechmont and Canungra, with council approval for limited camping (4WD only - leave no trace). So if you want to escape the crowds at public campgrounds, your privacy and enjoyment are assured! We are NOT a 4WD adventure park so vehicles must be parked up at your site on arrival and left there unless leaving the property to go to town/tourist activities. Any exploration of the property or travel to toilets is strictly on foot only- NO 4WD'ing. Anyone driving around the property will be asked to leave.

We have sites both near the creek and facilities and up on the plateau. Our elevated/remote sites require capable 4WD's with off-road/AT tyres and campers need to be fully self-sufficient including having their own sealed chemical camping toilet and an ensuite/privacy tent. If you don't have your own commercial chemical camping toilet then you will be given a choice of sites with access to facilities. We reserve the right to view/verify your toilet before allowing you access to the elevated/remote sites.

Caravans are restricted on where they can access- with no guarantee of sufficient sunlight for solar. Elevated/remote sites cannot be reached with a caravan- please bear this in mind if booking with a caravan. 

Well behaved dogs are welcome as long as they are on a lead when moving about the property. Please let us know if you wish to bring a dog and you will be allocated an appropriate site as some areas of the property are designated 'dog-free' camping zones. The common area (old shearing shed) has composting toilets, communal fridge, microwave, jug, drinking water, sink for washing up and table/chairs.

There is 500 m of (shallow) creek frontage, kms of walking/riding trails and grassy creek flats for recreational activities. Over the decades, the property has been used to farm goats, train racing camels and spell racehorses. There is also a variety of fruit trees and plantation timber. 

Please note that arrival must be in daylight hours with sufficient time for orientation, travel to your site and set up before dark. If your plans necessitate arriving later than this then please contact us to discuss prior to booking.

When booking - please read the property rules carefully.
