Gootchie Creek Escape

Gootchie Creek Escape is a 600-acre working cattle farm operating as a pet-friendly camping retreat located 45 kilometres north of Gympie and 1.3 kilometres off the Bruce Highway. Visitors can select their own unpowered campsite across the property. Activities include horse riding, swimming in the large spring-fed billabong, canoeing, paddling, bike riding, and campfires in provided drums or personal pits, subject to fire bans. The retreat aims for kids and adults to enjoy the outdoors technology-free, with opportunities to see platypus and turtles, though fishing is not permitted to protect them.

Amenities include clean toilets, hot showers, and baby bath facilities. The property also offers a spacious marquee for weddings, functions, and special events. Generators are allowed for limited periods, and all rubbish must be taken away by guests upon departure. The site does not offer powered sites, and cancellations result in credit for a future visit rather than a refund.
