camping at the folly

Hilltop Camping for self-sufficient campers

Off-grid and eco-friendly with 360 degree views, and plenty of space between you and the next site, this peaceful campground offers self-sufficient campers the opportunity to get away from it all. All sites are on level gravel pads, and feature a designated outdoor fire pit (when conditions permit). Well behaved pets are allowed on leads.

The Folly is designed for Caravans, Motorhomes and Camper-trailers. Guests are advised to bring their own water, power and (preferably) toilet with them, as the fully accessible amenities block is limited to one toilet and shower with limited rain water. A septic dump point and rubbish disposal are available onsite. Nightly price is for two guests, additional adult guests $10 per person extra. Children under 12 are free. Each site must be pre-booked in advance. 

 There is an activity to suit everyone at The Folly including hiking, 4WDriving, birdwatching, patting and feeding the donkeys, cycling the area, or just relaxing by the river.  The Folly has 7 kilometres of river frontage on the Severn River – perfect for kayaking or fishing for Murray Cod, Yellowbelly and Eel-tailed catfish. If hiking the property isn’t enough of a challenge, Girraween National Park is only 20 minutes away.   Ballandean is famous for its wine with many cellar doors and restaurants in the area – perfect for stocking up for afternoon sundowners.

WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO? 

Make the most of your stay with one of our experiences below
Ben's Fishing Tour
Big Fish

Ben will take you over to the back of the property to untouched water holes in secluded parts of the property. Drop a line in and catch Murray Cod and Yellowbelly, then pose for a photo and release back into the river. Bring your rods and lures, and we’ll bring you to the river.

NOTE: The price is $150 for up to four people – NOT $150 per person!

Truffle Tour and Taste

Join Maple or Ben for a walk through the truffle paddocks and see the oak trees that are grown in Queensland’s first commercial truffiere. Upon conclusion of the tour, pop back to the Truffle Cottage for a tasting platter of our favourite local produce.

Fresh truffles available for purchase in July and August only.

$45 per person – children under 12 free

Planning a picnic or a platter for sunset drinks? Let us take care of that for you and deliver a grazing box directly to your campsite. A curated mix of artisanal cheeses, cured meats, fresh fruits, and savoury snacks, perfect for casual indulgence. Of course you can expect something truffly in there too!
