A Little about a Lot

Freisthorpe camp is mostly about relaxing in the beautiful countryside of the Brisbane Valley (Valley of the Lakes). The Freisthorpe property itself offers open space to settle yourself in, bush tracks to meander, a covered outdoor space with fire pit nearby, star gazing, often amazing sunsets & sunrises (if you’re up that early), and of course the city folks equivalent of a water feature, our own dam. Oh and did we mention the abundant native wildlife?

  • Fire Pits (wood may be purchased onsite, or bring your own).

  • Some powered sites (Additional cost and must be booked in advance).

  • Small group / club bookings available.
