Yandilla Camping And Farm Stay – Mount Kilcoy

Yandilla Camping and Farm Stay offers a classic and authentic Australian bush camping experience, providing a serene escape nestled in the picturesque Mount Kilcoy region. This beautiful, privately-owned property is a haven for self-sufficient campers looking to disconnect from the daily grind and reconnect with nature. The farm stay is set on the banks of the Stanley River, offering expansive, flat, and grassy unpowered sites with plenty of room to spread out and find your own private piece of paradise. The emphasis here is on a back-to-basics approach to camping, where the main attractions are the natural surroundings. The river is perfect for kayaking, swimming, and fishing for Australian Bass and other freshwater species. The property is a working farm, and guests can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of a rural setting, complete with friendly farm animals. It’s a particularly dog-friendly destination, with ample space for pets to enjoy the country air. While the camping is unpowered, the facilities are well-maintained and include hot showers and toilets, offering a level of comfort that enhances the stay. Campfires are a central part of the Yandilla experience, with fire pits available for guests to gather around in the evenings under a brilliant, starry sky. For a peaceful, affordable, and genuinely welcoming country getaway, Yandilla is a top-tier choice.
