We are the only Hipcamp in the District with a real amenity block and flush toilets, hot showers and powered sites! Welcome to Kia Ora Pony Club grounds, a pretty and flat 10-acre property to camp on. We are located just off Tin Can Bay Road between Gympie and Rainbow Beach which is perfect retreat for outdoor enthusiasts. You can also bring your horse to go for a ride on the beach. Dogs welcome too. Perfect for big groups camping together for the weekend or travellers passing through. Whether you're a fishing enthusiast or a horse lover, our location has something for everyone. Bring your boat and enjoy a day of fishing at Tin Can Bay or bring your horses and explore the stunning beach trails at Rainbow beach. We provide secure and spacious yards, along with ample grassy areas for your horses to graze and kids to run. If you are sleeping in a swag you are welcome to roll it on our deck to be out of the weather. What you get: - hot showers - powered sites - real toilets - peace and quiet, often the place to yourselves - places to eat just up the road - Sublime Brewery, Fraser Grill, Liberty Goomboorian Servo - you can fill up vans with bore water but not from the tanks sorry - no permanent feral campers onsite, we only have travellers coming and going What we get: - to message and occasionally meet nice people :) - you to keep an eye on our stuff kinda like onsite security - to improve the place with the funds raised - passive income for our club so we never have to ask our members to do a Bunnings Sausage fundraiser Over summer you can park anywhere on the property and enjoy the green parklands with the security of a fenced area. Fires OK, contact us for timber. Horse people - we have undercover yards, an arena and round yard to use or graze, send us your horse health dec before your arrival please. Unfortunately Hipcamp Insurance no longer covers horse riding, so no riding on the grounds unless you are a member of another pony club, Equestrian Australia or have your own private insurance, Heaps of rides just out the gate though through forestry tracks. Ask any questions , we are fellow horse people afterall :)

I booked here because a friend had booked for several nights and said there's power and hot showers. I only stayed for 1 night despite booking more. It didn't suit me because it was too far from anywhere and I needed to get stuff done in a big town ie Gympie. There was 1 shower for people with disabilities and 1 shower for everyone else. The signs said you must only shower for 2 mins because it's tank water. My friend stupidly left the lights on in the toilet block so he could see his way there after it got dark. So of course the toilet and shower cubicles were full of cane toads when I went over to use them. I don't think this hipcamp is good value. The next night I stayed for free at Gympie rest area overnight. I didn't get a 2-minute shower, but big deal.

Nice and private, flat and well kept grassy areas. Amenities were clean and well maintained. Easy access for large caravan, was empty when we stayed so we had the place to ourselves, instructions on self check in are given, so no need to have to try and contact the host, you simply let yourself in and select a site. Away from hustle and bustle, yet only a 20 min drive to Tin Can Bay. Will definitely stay again.

Stayed 2 nights at Kia Ora Australia Day weekend..wow..amazingly quiet. Superbly kept grounds, cleanest amenities I have seen. Power and water available if needed. Plenty of open space and other campers not on your doorstep like caravan parks..Dog friendly too. Will defiantly be back. Thanks heaps Kia Ora!
