If you can prove that you are unable to reach us because of a government directive such as quarantine, a travel ban or
lockdown we will waive our usual cancellation fees stipulated in our Terms and Conditions.

CAMPSITE INFORMATION
Toilet and other facilities
Our Stockyard Creek Campsite is a tidy bush campsite with a fire ring, picnic table and two portaloos as facilities.
There is plenty of room for caravans and camper trailers.
Our Platypus Campsite is a tidy bush campsite with a campfire and access to power. Campers need to be self sufficient
with their own toilet. We require campers to use their own caravan/ portable outdoor camping toilet or hire their own
portaloo toilet at this site.
Water
Non potable water is provided at the Stockyard Creek Campsite in a 20L drum with water from Stockyard Creek but
campers will need to bring their own supply of potable/drinking water.
Currently campers need to supply both non potable and drinking water at the Platypus Campsite.
Electricity
At our Stockyard Creek Campsite there is no power connected to the campsite. There is plenty of room for caravans and
camper trailers however it is important to note that there is no power available for them to connect to.
At our Platypus Campsite there is access to one power point.

Timber
One free bag of firewood is included in your booking. We recommend ordering extra firewood when you book but we
can still supply it if you decide you need more timber when you get here.
Phone Reception – Kerry Valley has good Telstra network reception but other network reception is very patchy. If you use
a network provider other than Telstra you may want to catch up on your phone calls and messages before you leave
Beaudesert.

CAMPSITE RULES
We have a few simple rules to follow to ensure our farm remains beautiful for the next campers, you remain safe and our
neighbours stay happy.
1. Children – Children are to be supervised at all times.
2. Restricted Areas – Please take care to stay within the boundary of our property.

• If you are unsure please refer to the map provided on your arrival or contact us.

• No camping is allowed beneath tree canopies (beware of falling branches).

• Vehicles are restricted to the campsite only. Under no circumstances are any vehicles permitted on any other part

• of the property.

• Participating in the riding or use of any motor cycle, motor tricycle, quad bike, motorised buggy or any vehicle

• operating on fixed tracks is not permitted in any areas.

3. Rubbish ‐ Please use the wheely bins provided or take your rubbish home with you.
Two bins are provided for your convenience –
1. Dark Green for general waste,
2. Blue one for small bottles/cans with their lids off eg. beer, water & soft drink bottles/cans that are eligible for the
Containers for Change refund program.
We really appreciate you putting rubbish in the correct bins so we don’t have to sort them later.

•  If you have more rubbish than can fit in these bins please take it home with you as we have no way of holding it

• without animals getting into it till the next rubbish pick up.

• Under no circumstances is rubbish to be thrown out at the Darlington Park bins. These are private bins and

• belong to Darlington Park.

• DO NOT burn your rubbish, throw glass bottles or cigarette butts in the fire place. Glass in the fire place on check

• out will incur a $50 surcharge.

• Smokers please do not leave cigarette butts on the ground. Please fully extinguish them and put them in the

• bin.

4. Pet Policy - Dogs are allowed under the following conditions.

• There are a maximum of 2 dogs only per booking.

• You are visiting a farm. For your dog’s safety and our farm animal’s safety dogs must be contained and controlled

• at all times. If the person responsible for the dog is walking the dog it must always be on a lead. If your dog chases

• any farm animals you will be asked to remove your dog from the campsite.

• The dog must not be left alone at the campsite at any time even if they are controlled (tied or locked up).

• Dog owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets both within and outside the property.

• Any damage caused by dogs may incur a repair fee.

• Horses are not permitted as our insurance will not cover you.

5. Campfire - Campfires are only permitted in the fireplace at the campsite and may be subject to fire bans.

• Please DO NOT burn your rubbish, throw glass bottles or leave cigarette butts in the fire place. Glass in the fireplace on check out will incur a $50 surcharge. 

• One free bag of firewood is included in your booking. Under no circumstances are you permitted to forage for timber. Please contact us if you require extra firewood and we can provide it for $20 per feedbag full.

• Please do not tip the ash out near the campsite. This makes an unsightly mess for the next campers. We will empty the ash with our tractor when you have finished your camp.

• Before going to bed please ensure your fire is completely extinguished. Beside the fire you will find water provided in drums for this purpose.

•  A fire extinguisher is also provided for use in a fire emergency only.

6. Please don’t drive your vehicles down to the creek and firepit area – Please keep all vehicles up in the flat area above
the creek and firepit.
There are two main reason we request this:
1. The vehicles make tracks and a mess of the campground and
2. If it rains you may get stuck down there and we will need to pull you out (not to mention make a mess of the
campground).
7. Waterholes ‐ Stockyard Creek is ideal for shallow paddling and the Albert River has bigger waterholes.
The Albert River and Stockyard Creek are beautiful places to explore with banks to relax on and babbling streams to cool
off in. Please refer to the map provided so you can stay within the boundaries of the farm and not stray into private
property. Take care around the river, investigate all the potential hazards in your immediate surroundings before relaxing
and having fun. Please be mindful that when you are in the Albert River at the Stockyard Creek Campsite the opposite
side of the river is not owned by Kerry Valley Secret. Please respect our neighbours by not going on their land.
Participating in activities on, in or under the water are done at your own risk. Swimming in a river or creek is a dangerous
activity and will be done at your own risk.
If it has been raining and the river is swollen, flowing fast or flooding do not go in the water. The Albert River is one of the
fastest flowing rivers on the eastern seaboard and the current will be strong if it is up and/or flooding.
• Children must ALWAYS be accompanied by an adult when around waterways.
8. Behaviour – Please be mindful of your local property neighbours.
You must comply with all Campsite Rules and all instructions from Kerry Valley Secret staff concerning occupancy,
property, health, safety and quiet enjoyment of the Property and our neighbours.

• Under no circumstances are “doof” parties allowed.

• Please ensure that there is no loud noise after 10pm, including music.

• Under no circumstances do we tolerate our guests hooning on Stockyard Creek Road.

Disturbance to our neighbours, including excessive noise, is prohibited and may result in termination and eviction without
refund. Extra charges may be made for security required and any other expenses incurred as a result of your eviction.
We have a zero tolerance policy for possession or use of illicit drugs. Possession or use of illicit drugs may result in
termination of your booking and eviction without refund. Extra charges may be made for security required and any other
expenses incurred as a result of your eviction.
9. Check out condition of campsite – Normal checkout is 11.30 am but if we don’t have anyone checking in the same day
you are welcome to spend the full day at Kerry Valley Secret and leave at your leisure before dark.
On check out we expect you to leave the campsite as you found it. If we find our property changed, damaged or excessive
rubbish is left behind we reserve the right to pass on any costs of restoring the campsite to the same standard as when
you checked in.
Any damage loss or expense incurred by Management as a result of your breach of these Terms & Conditions will be
charged to you. Examples include but are not limited to any breakage, damage or excess cleaning requirements, extra

cancel your booking and refuse entry to Kerry Valley Secret should you be assessed as a high risk for biosecurity.

cancelled your booking due to foul weather or a State of Emergency. Please be aware that it is up to our discretion to
