    If you value your privacy, then you are at the right place. We have just one exclusive campsite on our 40 acres. You are hidden away and guaranteed privacy from the host accommodations. Private access is by 4WD only. Farm route is accessible by 2WD in dry weather - check with hosts before or on confirmation of booking. Access during unpredictable weather will depend on your vehicle/camper/caravan configuration. Please check with host prior if you are unsure. We are more than willing to make it work for you. On arrival, guests are met by host and directed to the site. Camp site is a secluded, grassy spot beside the creek, among tall gum trees, where you can enjoy peace and serenity. Perfect for families or group of friends. The creek has lovely shallow areas suitable for kids to splash and play in. Occasionally you may see sea eagles soaring overhead, they nest in one of the trees along the creek beside your camp area. Camp area has a composting drop toilet housed in an outback style 'dunny' shed. Fresh rainwater is available. The site has a fire pit and some light fire wood laying around from fallen branches, plus mesh to place over the fire pit if you wish to use the fire for cooking. (There will always be smaller branches and kindling available for fires however, larger and longer burning wood is not guaranteed all season.) Well behaved pets are welcome. You may be visited by some cattle during your stay...they will keep out of your way. There are some large and unique trees to admire and keep your eye out for wildflowers that grow along the creek. There is an active eagle's nest in one of the trees. Guests are welcome to explore down the creek where you'll find some great swimming holes. For a relaxing stroll, guests are welcome to walk the farm fence lines which are regularly maintained with a mower. There are so many beautiful local attractions to visit. Our local village is less than 2kms from the property where you will find Byabarra Cafe for excellent refreshments. Then a gorgeous drive up onto the plateau and you will find Comboyne village with a historic 1905 goal, Larrikins Lockup. And if you are feeling more adventurous, Rawson Falls and Ellenborough Falls make lovely day trips. And Comboyne Rock provides some stunning views. Upon arrival your host will provide you with an information pack on local attractions and general Hip Camp house rules and guidelines for your safety and enjoyment.We know that you like it private so we have only ONE exclusive campsite on our 40-acre farm. It is guaranteed to be quiet and no line of site to any other areas on the farm.  ACCESS IS BY 4WD ONLY. This is important so please be sure your vehicle is 4WD before booking. Access during unpredictable weather will depend on vehicle/van/caravan configuration, please check with the host if you are unsure. On arrival, you will be met by the host and directed to the site. The campsite is in a secluded grassy nook beside Bulli Creek, among the tall gum trees, where you can enjoy peace and serenity.  It is perfect for families or groups of friends. The creek is seasonal and suitable for kids to splash and play in.  Occasionally you may see a pair of sea eagles soaring overhead, they nest in one of the trees along the creek. Guests will have access to a composting toilet within an outback-style 'dunny' housing.  Fresh rainwater is available.  A fire pit is available for guests to use and also a mesh to place over the fire pit if you wish to do some campfire cooking. ((Guests are welcome to scavenge the area for timber that has fallen from trees, purchase split hardwood through the booking process or onsite with cash. Alternatively, you can bring your own timber.)) Well-behaved pets are very welcome but must be kept in camp with you.  You may be visited by some cattle, but they will keep out of your way. There are some great local attractions to visit. Less than 2kms from the farm is the small village of Byabarra with a lovely welcoming little cafe. A scenic drive up the mountain will see you on the Comboyne Plateau where the beautiful little Comboyne village is waiting for you to explore it. You might find the historic 1905 goal, Larrikins Lockup, an exciting place to visit.  If you feel more adventurous, you can try an outing to Rawson Falls or Ellenborough Falls.   On your arrival, your host will provide you with an information pack on local attractions and general Hip Camp house rules to keep you safe and ensure your stay is enjoyable.

    Great family stay.

    Eagles Rest on Michaela’s property was a delight. Michaela was easy to communicate with and responded to questions promptly. We had 5 nights with our daughter, her husband and two children. The two little girls had a wonderful time in the creek building dams and playing “Pooh” sticks, running around the large camp area particularly in the occasional pouring rain. The 5 year old ended up running around naked in the rain and shrieking with laughter under the cold shower. Waking up to the kookaburras and whip birds each morning was very pleasant. Come departure day we were a little concerned with leaving via the steep private entrance track after the rain we had received, and Michaela offered us the option of using another exit past the house. As it turned out our two heavily laden 4 wheel drives managed to exit gracefully out the steep track with no real problem. One small suggestion would be to turn the toilet by 90 degrees which would allow a little more privacy, however we coped by cobbling up a screen out of an old tarp and some ropes and pegs so it wasn’t a big deal. We would thoroughly recommend the camp site, a wonderful space for the children to run free and maybe learn a few of life’s lessons about thistles and the occasional bull ant. We will most likely return as a family and we may even sneak back for a few days on our own. Grahame & Vicki

    Eagles Rest was beautiful! My partner and I stayed here over new years and it was the perfect space. Plenty of shade for a hot day, with a solid campfire which we cooked steaks on. The campsite is on a private property but completely secluded from anyone else, if you like you can enjoy a walk through the paddocks to check out the sea eagle nests. There was so much space for our dog to run around, she loved having a swim in the creek. Some basic amenities such as a fresh rainwater shower and compostable toilet made the stay that much more comfortable. Michaela and Jackson were so helpful and welcoming, and checking in and out was a breeze. I was also able to get good phone reception as well which was a bonus for any emergencies etc. Would highly recommend this place!

Any off-road caravan should easily be able to get there, the ground is spacious to easily make a u turn with the caravan. It has a level ground. Generators allowed. Great private site and lovely outdoor shower and great hosts.
