In the small rural town of Millaroo, you will find nestled around sugar cane, horses & a small herd of quiet cattle, a laid back bush camp in a paddock by two dams on the bank of Millaroo Creek. Here you can bird watch, take leisurely walks down to the creek, enjoy a spot of fresh water fishing/red-clawing, launch the kayak where you may spot the odd fresh water crocodile or sit and relax in tranquility on the creek bank. During harvesting season you may visit regular cane fires in the local area, and may be even lucky enough to catch the burn straight across from the campground! The local Millaroo Social Club is a short ten minute drive, where meals are served most Friday nights. The Burdekin river is also a short drive away where you can access the river closer to the township of Millaroo by 4WD for an afternoon barbecue & fish! Campground offers plenty of fresh water for drinking & filling tanks, does requires campers to be self contained & is pet friendly providing they are supervised at all times. ** Fire pits around campground - Firewood supplied at small cost per night **

What a beautiful Hipcamp! Nestled amongst beautiful bush land this was the perfect location for a peaceful getaway. We were surrounded by nature, including cows, horses, kookaburras and were even lucky enough to see a fresh water crocodile when kyacking down the river. Bruno and Sal were welcoming and made sure our stay was perfect. Thank you so much for having us.

We spent Easter at Gumtree Rest, and while there were a few more campers there than we had experienced before, there was plenty of room for all. The location is out of the way, quiet with the noises of the kookaburras to wake you up. The wildlife is typical of north queensland, wallabies, cockatoos, kookaburras, crows, kingfishers and much more. The creek had more water in it and you could see where the water had risen in the recent weather events.Bruno and Sally are the best hipcamp hosts we have come across. It feels like coming back to old friends. Thank you again. Janine & Andrew, Daisy and Zakk.

Gum tree rest was a lovely location. The cows and horses came up close to the fence and didn’t spook at our dog and the area was nicely maintained, perfect for a tent and awning. Bruno was super friendly and helpful on arrival.

Lovely area to camp at Gumtree Rest. Plenty of campers there on busy weekends (easter), so it's definitely a first in best dressed situation and just set up where you want/can. No designated sites like what the add suggests, but more an open paddock with those areas. Still a great spot to camp and we will be back. Hosts were lovely and welcoming and even provided wood while they had some available.
